| How do you add color? "Gotta love a conversation about sound that’s talking about color. Aren’t those two different senses? Go figure! Only audiophiles……" Yes, but we don't have agreed on terms to describe these things, so we make them up. Would it make more sen... | |
| DAC DIRECT IN TO AMPLIFIER OR TO PREAMPLIFIER Interesting approaches to digital level control. Great to see innovation. Looks like these ideas could be very inexpensive and trickle down to commodity products. So the correct answer remains: it depends. | |

| Working with 78’s Back in the day ( late mid 80's) when I copied some single side Al Jolson's: I used the Sure M3D Cartridge. Big conical tip and better than the records. I had an old Knight tube amplifier that had an appropriate eq setting. Can't remember which ... | |
| Need recommendations for a stereo EQ Just hooked up my new Schiit Lokius. Very happy. My room is a little bright and needs just a gentle high end roll off, plus I use the 20 Hz band as the bass blocker to my main speakers ( bookshelves) to clean up when I really crank on them. I ... | |
| DAC DIRECT IN TO AMPLIFIER OR TO PREAMPLIFIER Only correct answer: "It depends" Many fallacies on resolution between digital and analog volume, pot, vs. stepped resister vs. optical vs. transformer. Too much "religion" on all sides. Listen for yourself. My personal belief is implementat... | |
| Testing Ethernet switch Actually, I am an engineer, but I referenced the training from CISCO.. You know them. The ENTIRE internet is either Cisco or Huewai. They know a little about it. All for higher sonics, but you won't get it chasing the impossible. READ how IP w... | |
| Let's Talk DAC's Merson DAC-1 being over 5K is pushing the OP's budget as stated if the Hugo @ just under 7 is too much. Holo May and Less Loss are also in the $5K range. Merson Fererot is a different technology using the Burr Brown and with a friendlier price a... | |
| Let's Talk DAC's J2 base DAC is $250. If you want the new AKM chipset, ( a lot more expensive) it bumps to the J2s. Adds XLRs and a USB, then you have the option to go with the Sparkos op amps. Some think highly of them. If you want a wood case, more money. You... | |
| Let's Talk DAC's If you have a DAC that is improved by a DDC, and that could be, then you have a poorly implemented DAC and are band-aiding it. Bad design or just obsolete. Again, you can now buy a DAC that can deal with it just fine. An excellent example is th... | |
| Let's Talk DAC's DDC? For what.? Digital to Digital converter? These were introduced as a band-aid when DACs had horribly implemented USB inputs to overcome bad cables, noisy PC ports, ground loops, and using the PC clock in synchronous mode. Those issues w... | |
| Testing Ethernet switch Folks may wish to stay naïve, Folks may wish to learn. Folks may read my posts, Folks may choose not to. Quick Amazon search: Budget 50' CAT6e $8.75 Budget twin fiber $29.49 Budget fiber switch $375, Budget copper $21.99 You can use... | |
| Testing Ethernet switch "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink." https://learningnetwork.cisco.com/s A place to start if you want to drink facts instead of Kool-Aid. If all you want to see is WEB bloggers who don't know any more than you and ... | |
| Testing Ethernet switch Sounds like a few folks here have purchased "audio quality" switches and their ego is bruised. No one likes to know they have been had. That is just being human. I have provided links to the technical description of how IP and Ethernet work. T... | |
| Wall treatments “Asymmetrical”? The only way to find out is to try it. Go easy, step by step. Have you measured your room? Do you have nodes you need bass traps for? Do you have less than precise imaging that your Wilsons can do for sure? Are they less than a couple feet from... |
