| Wadia 170i transport experience? Gherrera1, I use a 170i with a DAC that reclocks the signal and it works excellent for me; I compared it to my Meridian G08 CDP transport and I, and others, could in no way distinguish a difference. | |
| WAV vs. AIFF It "may" be bits are bits, but what goes along with them bits gets screwed up. :) | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Over on a DIY site a guy posted a picture of the crossover in his B&W 800D's, they have the following...Tweeter - 4.7uF Mundorf Gold/Silver CapacitorMidrange - 22uf+22uF+10uF Mundorf Supreme CapacitorsWoofer - 100uf+100uF Mundorf Mcap Capacito... | |
| In search of the right SS integrated amp I'll second the Mac suggestion and also add the MA6600. A friend just picked up the 6600 with the optional tuner module, making it a receiver, where he replaced his Bel Canto separates, separates that stood the test against others that came and we... | |
| Wadia 170i transport experience? I would say something else is going on as I doubt there is much break-in needed with it; I find it interesting and odd all the varying results people have as all mine have been positive, and that while comparing a couple other setups. Do you know ... | |
| Want McIntosh sound, but can't afford the MDA1000? Sorry you feel the words were harsh Dserran, as I stated this wasn't my intent; I also stand behind what I say and do not agree or understand your logic in not posting the other DAC's. While you say your intent was not for a comparison thread, yet... | |
| Want McIntosh sound, but can't afford the MDA1000? I cannot agree with your rational for not telling what else you used. What good is the info. if we have no point of reference? I am curious if you have used these forums to garner the very thoughts of others that you will not participate in. Give ... | |
| OPPO 83 and Benchmark DAC 1 My only concern is that the transport mechanism may not be up to the build of even a Rotel RCD-1072 CDP...I tend to think you are more concerned about this than need be.Brian | |
| OPPO 83 and Benchmark DAC 1 Ykk, I have not used the pieces you are inquiring about, but the performance of the Oppo and DAC1 should definately be better than the Oppo alone. (I am assuming the Oppo player in question has a COAX or Toslink output.)As for there being better D... | |
| OPPO 83 and Benchmark DAC 1 Sorry if no one likes to hear that...I have no problem hearing this, what I am alluding to is that the differences you heard "may" not have been heard using a different DAC or the like. | |
| OPPO 83 and Benchmark DAC 1 Regardless of what Benchmark says and others believe, there is a difference in sound when using different transports.I "think" there are other factors that can make these differences be different with different setups. (Way to much use of the word... | |
| Want McIntosh sound, but can't afford the MDA1000? What were the other DAC's you tried and didn't like? | |
| Upgrading from Wilson Sophia 2's? I had a simliar experience but it was with the version 1 Sophia's; I had been using the W/P 7's for some time and traded them for the Sophia's, to downsize my system. The W/P's midrange was recessed and I always wished it to be more forward. (Let ... | |
| Wadia 170i transport experience? Wouldnt I have to store thousands of my songs onto my computer before down loading them into the new Ipod Classic 120 ?Wouldnt that take up a large portion of my Computers hard drive to do this?Yes and yes.That said, another option is to purchase ... | |
| Wadia 170i transport experience? You clearly have better hearing than me Fenando as I compared .wav, .aiff and apple lossless and could in no way tell a difference. |
