| Good DACs have known benefits, But what About Streamers If you use a really good reclocker right before the DAC to reduce jitter (any DAC in my experience will benefit from this), the streamer will not (relevantly) affect sound quality unless it does some processing (e.g. sample rate conversion). With ... | |
| Why does my DAC sound so much better after upgrading digital SPDIF cable? rocknss8 posts11-24-2018 5:34pmAre there any studies showing the cable improvements by placing a instrumentation microphone at the listening position? I am not aware of such results, but I too strongly believe that it would make things a lot clea... | |
| Why do amps sound different? In my audio experience, the main issue with amps is the unpredictability of how the output characteristics of an amp will affect the acoustical result of the loudspeaker. An effective way to reduce impact of an amp’s sound signature and get consis... | |
| Why does my DAC sound so much better after upgrading digital SPDIF cable? @dynaquest4: very quick AB lets you pick up changes but it may be advisable to validate that by switching after longer periods of time, typically several days with interruptions and sleep to get a fresh ear on it.Another thought: if heavily proces... | |
| Why does my DAC sound so much better after upgrading digital SPDIF cable? Maybe the paper referenced below will shed some light on the complexity of jitter for those that believe that a simple value in some clock or DAC datasheet can Trump this effect for good.Audibility of some forms of jitter on DACs and ADCs have bee... | |
| Any Empirical Audio Synchro Mesh users out there? Hello,I have been using the SynchroMesh for a couple of years now and the improvement in sound quality is very obvious and very addictive! I used it in combination with several DACs, the best one being a NorthStar Design Model 192 modded for me by... |
