| The Science of Cables I know you didn't ask me, but i took a quick look at:Could you please do us all a big favour and take a peak at the following thread....https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/doug-schroeder-method-double-ic....and give us your ideas about what all... | |
| The Science of Cables While I largely agree with the direction of Dunlavy's post, I will give slight shelter to two claims:For example, claiming that copper wire is directional, that slow-moving electrons create distortion as they haphazardly carry the signal along a... | |
| The Science of Cables cleeds, How does it prove nothing when subjects reported substantial differences, which, according to the test, could not have been there?One cannot prove a negative, we we cannot prove there are not differences, (except maybe the null test), but ... | |
| The Science of Cables I'm not getting into the technical melee here, but if anyone is interested in measurements - including one that can ID differences ***when we don't know precisely what to measure***, look up a youtube video of an AES talk by Evan Winer on his Null... | |
| High resolution digital is dead. The best DAC's killed it. No, is not that simple.The cassanova card (at least the one i was holding) is also R2R. And all the DSPro's from Gen 1 were R2R. In fact, in 1994 i don't think there were sigma-delta chips yet. One of the big changes to the V and 8 was re-clocking... | |
| What responsibility does a seller have to tell a customer an item has been serviced? I'm missing something. what problem did the service cause? | |
| Question About DACs What CD player specifically? How implemented matters often more than what chips are used. I can use chips well or badly, simple as that. I have compared back to back a Schiit BiFrost multi-bit to the same designer's $4000 player circa 1994 9Thet... | |
| MC suggestions i recently returned to the Grado fold, almost by accident. I was rebuilding my three (don't say it) turntables, and needed a cartridge to test out what should have been the pick of the litter. Popped in a Grado green (yes, Green, as in cheap) and ... | |
| Do I have to use a streamer/renderer to play music from an NAS? Oh, a second answer - to your very last question: "how can you tell".Well, given "one equation (or test) to one unknown" - you need to compare lower to higher jitter. Otherwise, you are hearing a system. Experience and training may tell you that ... | |
| High resolution digital is dead. The best DAC's killed it. FYI, i had occasion to speak to the guys at Theta about the Casanova recently. I was not terrible familiar. According to them the DSPro is significantly better. Casanova is a cool concept withe the all-digital backplane. I considered something l... | |
| High resolution digital is dead. The best DAC's killed it. eric_squires asked:The modern DAC, the best of them, no longer do this. The Redbook playback is so good high resolution is almost not needed. Anyone else notice this? Not really. I totally agree that as we solve problems in DACs and in the timing ... | |
| Do I have to use a streamer/renderer to play music from an NAS? to oldschool1948Steve has more bench experience with these so I wont even comment on his figures or claims. But I’ll provide a couple of data points that are useful to anyone trying to digest why jitter is worse in A than B.First, SPDIF and its va... | |
| Do I have to use a streamer/renderer to play music from an NAS? Audioengr wrote:"Most of what makes digital sound good has to with low jitter, and I mean really, really low jitter, a few picoseconds. It's ALL ABOUT JITTER, period."I never say never or always, but i pretty much agree here. If you think about... | |
| Why the facination with integrated amps? AES/EBU better than USB? Really? AES/EBU is just SPDIF on a balanced physical layer, with all the synchronous issues (clock is least common denominator) rather than USB whcih allows, no, demands re-clocking - its asynchronous. Actually its not r... | |
| High resolution digital is dead. The best DAC's killed it. this ought to be great, thanks Malcolm! Downloaded - would not play in browser. I plan to continue my blog @ sonogyresearch.com with some interesting anecdotes from when i liaised to MPEG while working on both contribution quality digital compres... |
