| Need to under stand Asynchronous USB Oh I get you now, @last_lemming . The Marantz is feeding the contents of your USB drive via coax to the NAD. Like Erik said, for coax, the clock is embedded in the SPDIF data stream from the Marantz. Here the source is the clock master and this si... | |
| New speakers? No thanks. Maybe she's wanting something that looks different, heh. | |
| Paul Hynes Excuses to deliver the power supply SR7 , I Lost my money "If you pay him, he will refund your money" -- what a vouch! I don't think any power supply would be worth the nonsense. | |
| SONIC CRAFT ??? IS THERE REALLY A SONIC CRAFT STORE ??? Madisound and Parts Connexion also have Mundorf caps. Or create a new account. | |
| Does my amp have enough juice to power my speakers? Kind of depends how loud you listen. John Atkinson’s measurements show min impedance of your speakers is 6ohm, which is good, though 84db sensitivity might suggest they want some power. Do you have anything to compare your amp with? | |
| Long XLR cables - DIY construction suggestions? DNM do XLR? I've heard their speaker cable and RCA interconnects. They used solid core conductors separated across plastic ribbon, so won't be very flexible. They didn't sound at all good to my ears, just muddy and veiled, though they're meant to ... | |
| Does any one know a cable that is able to compete with clear day double shotgun? I had Clearday; compared with Black Cat, Goertz MI2, Kimber 8TC, Zu Satori, Audience AU24. Kept the Audience. Clearday had nice tone and fair details. Audience more natural, more defined, more presence, more extended bass. YMMV | |
| Need to under stand Asynchronous USB I have the M51. The USB - the type B - input is async from XMOS. The DAC uses its own clocks. However, it’s been widely agreed from reviews and users (and I concur, also) USB is not the best input for it rather than AES. I tried various USB decrap... | |
| HELP!!! I need a “GOOD-CHEAP” preamp solution??? Um, despite needing a preamp, have you considered different speakers? They have the largest affect on the sound. A generalization but I’ve heard some of the lower end Focals and didn’t like their metal tweeters. I’d find it hard for anyone to say ... | |
| Bookshelf speakers for near-field (desktop) use How much room will there be on this desk from the corners and rear wall? You’re going to get potentially huge (distorting) bass gain from most speakers designed to be free standing.A safer choice might be sealed box or at least front-ported speake... | |
| Network player/streamer to feed NAD M51 DAC Maybe the older Auralic Aries -- it has AES out which is best for the M51 | |
| Where to hear ATC speakers Hmm, if you are now looking at Sabrinas, you’d rather compare to the SCM100As! | |
| Best solution to send digital files to my DAC You want a network streamer. Tons of these nowadays at different price points. The best one might be something like the Innuos Zen MK3 | |
| The Absolute Sound - ELAC Navis Review Um, just wait a few days before going back to a bookstore??? | |
| A DAC that can make digital sound analog? The Resolution Audio Cantata system sounds really good; natural, refined, no digital nasties. Metrum, also. At more stratospheric prices, well, Nagra and TotalDac. |
