| Significant steps? (DAC) We have to remember that a good DAC has a good Analog section along with the Digital portion. My Benchmark DAC3 HGC is a world class DAC with an astounding S/N ratio, (a key metric IMO), as well as the ability to resolve 21 bits of resolution, (c... | |
| XLR cables for a reasonable price? I'm a Benchmark fanboi for sure but it's taken me a lot of years to arrive here, so take that for what it's worth. My DAC3 HGC and AHB2 combo is the best combo I've ever had and the thing that stands out is the astounding S/N ratio, achieved thro... | |
| Ridiculous sale "A fair price is what the market will bear." Don't want it bad enough to pay the price, don't buy it. It's your choice, nobody is forcing you to pay a premium. | |
| What are the most used terms that say the least in the "High-End"? Jump and boogie. I'm not sure I want my TT doing either of those. | |
| Speakers that are a great value! When I got into this geeky hobby I built my first pair of quality speakers from a mail order (way pre-www), company Speakerlab (which apparently is still in business). 12" 3-way in a box I made from MDF sourced from the local lumber yard. Those ... | |
| Random blast of 0db white noise. ZDAC is back from Parasound. Repaired, (said replaced 5v power supply), and have no problems in the week it's been back in use. | |
| Random blast of 0db white noise. Update, (if anyone cares)...I'm sending the ZDAC back to Parasound as the same issue was continuing to happen. I 'm using my CEntrance DACPort LX without issue, and may even like the sound a bit better. | |
| Best Way to Integrate Subwoofers? There is a lot going on when you configure a 2.1 system. I have my main system in a small room that serves as my office, so I don't have to pressurize a large space, so I have it set up studio style with the Jamo Coronet IV's on the wall in front... | |
| Bookshelf Recommendations Well, just pulled the trigger on a set of blem UB5's, so now I'll be able to compare them with my Jamos and some KEF IQ1's I have. | |
| Bookshelf Recommendations I’ve been looking at the LS50’s, Wharfdale Denton 80th, ATC SCM7’s and ELAC UB5’s, but I’d really need to AB them against my Jamo Coronet IV’s, that I bought used for $40. I’m running these 2.1 with a 10" sub and get all the SPL I can want in this... | |
| Random blast of 0db white noise. OK copy that.Since switching to a different USB port on the computer, I haven't had this issue, so that's what I'm thinking the issue is. I've used Cambridge, Audio Quest, ART, and CEntrantrance DACs and this Parasound in various systems up to an... | |
| Random blast of 0db white noise. Thx Erik. I am using AQ cables, and recently moved USB ports on the computer and haven't had this problem since...but we'll see.Why would a DAC output an analog signal when losing lock? |
