| Bose 901 Review Well Done. Hey billpete, Lucky you, being stationed in Germany. I flew C-130's out of Langley and only got to "rotate" for 2 months out of Mildenhall, 3 times...mostly one nighters all over Europe. Was lucky to get to the AV club. Miss those days! AR t... | |
| Bose 901 Review Well Done. I really like the review and agree mostly with it. I've posted my Bose story here before but here's a quick recap: I bought a pair of Bose 901 II's and a Bose 500W amp from the Rhein-Main Audio/Photo Club in May 1973 for $1176.00...I still ha... | |
| What were your top musical discoveries of 2024? Also, Joni Mitchell title song from Night Ride Home and Passion Play...well recorded and mixed. And another shout out to Radio Paradise! | |
| What were your top musical discoveries of 2024? CD: Convergence, Malia and Boris Blank. Terrific headphone album, great base lines/effects, in-ur-ear, enveloping vocals. especially... Fever, Smouldering Ashes, Tears Run Dry... | |
| Package Has Disappeared in USPS System I'd just like to point out that the Postmaster General, Louis DeJoy, appointed by a Trump appointed Board of 9 Directors was a major Trump contributor who in 2012 published his plan to run USPS thus... from Wikipedia: In March 2021, DeJoy ... | |
| EverSolo DMP-A8 with Denafrips Pontus 15th, both have i2S A followup....I'm fluxomed, cause I use the OPPO HDMI output to the breakout box to get I2s into the Pontus so as to enjoy the DSD DAC in the Pontus to hear SACDs with a better DAC than the OPPO...depending on the recording it can be the Best Soun... | |
| EverSolo DMP-A8 with Denafrips Pontus 15th, both have i2S I'm no electrical or sound engineer but consider: This visual comparison to Denefrips DDC clocks is interesting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3SbK2kxg7X0 Alvin calls both Hermes and Gia clocks Oven Controlled, though I wonder if t... | |
| why is it such a PIA to post a bloody photo here ? this platform is cranky as hell ! Test....Nope, with Safari the image ikon only takes a URL (online address); no cut & paste here. | |
| What is your top sexy song? I know it was “Top Tune” but being a single old goat I’m ignoring Voltaire’s advice that “once is passion, twice is perversion”: 1. Melody Gardot & Sting say there may be “A Little Something”… 2. Roy Buchanan tries to control “Mr... | |
| Solo streamer "Reality only exists because we invented Time"...Oppenheimer So, thanks jazzman7 for sending me down a Tech rabbit hole of "clocks" for 3/4th of my day... lol. Back in the good ole Air Force pre-GPS, analogue days (1970's for me) we alwa... | |
| Solo streamer I'm a month late to the party here but to: jazzman7 and @monowatcher, Clock source can depend on the DAC. Maybe not normal synchronous I2s protocol but according to my Owners Manual for Pointus II, "incoming signals are all stored, buffere... | |
| A DAC for the Oppo 105 OP, I was just reading up on Ayre products...pretty nice/expensive. I guess the essence of my posts is that an I2s input port on a DAC will usually provide a step up in sound quality over USB/SPIDF/AES connections...YMMV. | |
| A DAC for the Oppo 105 BTW, the Denifrips USB port from a new MacBook Pro can also provide just as good sounding Hi-res binaural downloaded files as the I2s CD/Blueray connection. The Pontus handles all the buffering/oversampling and re-clocking functions you need rega... | |
| A DAC for the Oppo 105 I've repeated this post a few times...here's the article that was published Jan,2021, that describes using an OPPO player to output SACD content via an HDMI cable to a cheap I2s breakout box and on to the I2s port on the Pontus II. I duplicat... |
