Redbook Keeps Surprising
steakster I have had a DSD capable Bricasti here, and yes it was very good when it did DSD, but it was shown up by an old Cary 303/200 24/96 R2R multibit doing PCM DVD-A (an extension of Redbook) which it had to down sample from 24/192 to 24/96 and even still the difference was easy to hear, the Bricasti could not match it. In case your wondering it was through B&W 800D MkII Diamonds. Cheers George |
Review of Aeris DAC :- http://www.6moons.com/audioreviews/jeffrowland/2.html "JRDG states that the Aeris is "based upon an asynchronous buffer, voltage-controlled crystal oscillators and a 24-bit D/A converter – under the precise control of a FPGA running proprietary algorithms..." and "...delivers bit-perfect conversion ......." But, but...... http://www.analog.com/media/en/technical-documentation/data-sheets/AD1853.pdf http://www.analog.com/en/products/audio-video/audio-da-converters/ad1853.html#product-overview Review of Bricasti M1 :- http://www.dagogo.com/bricasti-design-model-1-usb-dac-review "The M1 is one of the best DACs available on the market at any price." Sheesh! |
You believe what the dac manufacture is selling you, that a hybrid dac can deliver "bit perfect" Redbook PCM??? You been suckered sunshine. Why do you think dacs like the YPsilon,Total,Trinity Dac, Flagship MSB's and many others have designed their top dacs with hard to get R2R Multibit converters for Redbook only conversion, when they could of used Delta Sigma at 100th of the price and got DSD replay as well?? Some can't see the forest through the trees.
