| Bidat vs Perfect Wave vs Weiss and others Audiofun, you should really try the Weiss dac along with the Amarra software. The Amarrra works in tandem the iTunes interface. It may change your opinion of the Weiss. I have the Weiss Dac2 myself, and own the Amarra software as well. Note that t... | |
| CDP breaks and I move to computer-based... Have to agree with Audiofun here, try the Wireworld Supernova 6 glass toslink, from the CableCo or GCAudio.com. Toslink to mini-toslink connectors I think is what you would need. | |
| Opus 21 CD vs Mac Mini... Opus wins Bwyoung, over at Computer Audiophile they recommend this inexpensive cable:http://www.firewiredirect.com/product/89/There is also this, at the other end of the spectrum:http://www.thecableco.com/product.php?id=5907and this:http://www.thecableco.co... | |
| Weiss Dac2 - anyone use upgraded feet on it? Hey, I assumed it was OK to ask questions here...Thanks to those who responded with helpful info. | |
| Opus 21 CD vs Mac Mini... Opus wins OMO, either upgrade your firewire to spdif converter, or look into a good usb to spdif converter (Empirical Audio Offramp 3). Make sure you have a good spdif cable (and usb cable if you decide to go that route). Cables do make a difference. I use ... | |

| Oppo BDP-83 optical out for 2ch stereo from blu-r? Am doing the A/B listening now, connected the analog outputs with a 3m pair of Kimber Hero's. So far, the toslink into the Weiss Dac2 (it does have a toslink input after all, duh) sounds better than the analog output direct to the preamp, which do... | |
| Oppo BDP-83 optical out for 2ch stereo from blu-r? Here's what Oppo says in the manual:"Due to bandwidth limitations, high resolution audio formats such as Dolby Digital plus, Dolbt TrueHD, DTS-HD High Resolution and DTS-HD Master Audio cannot be sent through the coaxial or optical digital output.... | |
| Oppo BDP-83 optical out for 2ch stereo from blu-r? I haven't done the A/B listening yet, my Oppo and my stereo rig are 3 meters apart. I have the 3 meter glass toslink, not the 3 meter analog ic's. I thought I'd get some opinions before I sprang for a pair. BTW, I won't be using the Oppo as a cdp,... | |
| Oppo BDP-83 optical out for 2ch stereo from blu-r? My toslink cable is a Wireworld Supernova 6 glass toslink, it goes into the toslink input of a Wadia 860x cdp (which in this case is serving as a digital "pass through") and then out via Kimber Select 2120 xlr digital coax to a Weiss Dac2 (the Wei... | |
| Weiss Minerva Dac Just ordered the Weiss Dac2 myself, but will be running it through a preamp(Joule Electra LA-150 MkII). | |
| Amarra for iTunes at RMAF... TBG, let us know how it goes with the Minerva, sounds like a good combo. | |
| Amarra for iTunes at RMAF... Blindjim, you are assuming that Amarra only works with asynchronous dacs or the Weiss firewire dac, I believe you are mistaken. But yes, it is Apple OS software.BTW, thanks to all, a lot of good info here in this thread on implementing computer ba... | |
| Amarra for iTunes at RMAF... Antipodes_Audio, thanks for your thoughts regarding mac/Amarra implementation. I am also using an Empirical Audio Offramp 3, with a Locus Design Axis usb cable from my mac mini. The mac mini is upgradeable to 4gb of RAM (it will only utilize 3.5gb... | |
