| Benchmark Dac1 Versions Benchmark claims that there have been no revisions in the USB models. I agree with Kijanki on the neutral sound. If I were to take a step up, it would be the Weiss Dac 2 which is a Minerva without the dressing for 3k. If you go with a Benchmark pl... | |
| Length of speaker cable effect bass response? Assuming nothing else has changed, the Tara Labs may simply have more bass than the Blue Jeans. | |
| The Hub: Okay. It's all my fault. Does this mean we will not be seeing any more Dakiom ads? As they generally are on the rude/offensive side- whether the product is viable or not. This add was obvious and funny, but does beg the question as Elizabeth stated. | |
| what blew out? I didn't think there was a difference in a 125 vs 250 volt fuse. Learn something new every day... | |
| TG Audio 688 or Silver vs Black Sand Violet I love my TG Audio SLVRs on my amps, but would use a digital cord on your DAC such as JPS Labs Digital AC ast about your price point. | |
| High-end CDP/DAC into Pre-pro Hthf,I meant no disrespect, and I think Blindjim dicovered what I am talking about. What you are describing is DAC>ADC>DAC which will give you accumulated distortions. Imagine starting with faxed image, make a photocopy, then fax it and comp... | |
| High-end CDP/DAC into Pre-pro Most likely you'd be better off going digital straight into your processor. If I understand your analogy, the sum will be more like QUALITY 3/4. | |
| Struggling with right/left channel balance, HELP? Furthermore, have you swapped outputs digitally via Audio Midi Setup to check the source? | |
| Struggling with right/left channel balance, HELP? If you are using mini with and HDR, please try it with the usb (it doesn't have spdif). I have experimented with quite a few DACs, and toslink has never been the best input on any of them. Typically dynamically soft and lacking immediacy. If it re... | |
| no low end st70 Have you tried different output taps? | |
| Weiss Minerva Dac Glory,Are you aware of how the Minerva deals with volume? I am very interested in this DAC (well, actually the Weiss dac 2 pretty much the same thing). From what I have read about it and Weiss' dithering scheme, it should work very well. To date, ... | |
| Benchmark DAC-1 vs DAC-1 HDR I've owned a dac 1 USB for a couple of years, and just took delivery of an HDR. Although I haven't compared them side to side, I have had them in the same system and have not noticed a difference between the two. On the other hand, the two systems... | |
| Acrylic turntable and amp dust covers? Your 275s need to have the convection through the chassis bottom through the tube socket surrounds if I am seeing it properly. Besides an opened cover will reverberate, transmitting those vibrations to the (usually microphonic) input tubes... | |
| 1k used speaker all rounder Most affordable Tannoy are ugly, jax2's suggestion about Galante seems appropriate as I have heard they sound similar to Tannoy. I think that they use a Radian driver. | |
| 1k used speaker all rounder At $1000, it will be hard to beat a Tannoy. What one are you using? |
