| Up to the Minute: Streaming Bits to Audiophile DAC I believe this device is very similar to the M-Audio Transit, but it probably uses the PCM270X chips instead and no software driver. Unlike the Transit, it would be limited to 48kHz. You could get digital S/PDIF output from it just like the Transi... | |
| Wireless USB The dongle is only an idea at this point, perhaps for an OEM. They have no design plans for this.Pardales - Yes, it will work with my Off-Ramps, but the clock in it will undoubtedly need to be replaced with a Superclock4. I expect it to be too jit... | |
| Wireless USB I've pre-ordered one. I am thinking about putting one inside my new Formula One DAC. After talking with the rep, I believe it will work fine. Working with Icron to determine FCC requirements for OEM boards. | |
| Wireless USB If the Icron device supports Isochronous, it should work. I hope the B/W is sufficient for 24/96. Since it is based on 802.11G and not ultrawideband, I think it should work fine. Kind of spendy though....It's interesting that the "cablefree" thing... | |
| Sonos turns your house into an ipod The quality of these stock Wi-Fi converters just isn't quite up to a good transport or a good USB converter, yet. Even modded, they fall behind some USB solutions. However, the Pace Car I2S reclocker could change all that. Hopefully, Slim-Devices ... | |
| Is USB overrated as decent digital source? Unclejeff - It's a shame to spend $2K and just use the S/PDIF output. You would be better off to drive your DAC with I2S IMO. It's inherently superior and lower jitter. | |
| Is USB overrated as decent digital source? Firewire and USB are similar in performance. The advantage of USB is there are more drivers and better chips available that support it.Steve N.Empirical AudioManufacturer | |
| Is USB overrated as decent digital source? mikechai@gmail.com - anywhere near 1 nsec is high jitter in my book. For instance, the stock Squeezebox and AirPort Express have 300-400 psec, which is half what you are saying and I can easily hear the jitter.Until you have heard really low jitte... | |
| USB into DAC vs Airport Express into DAC Depends entirely on the USB converter you use. I mod the AE and put Superclock4 and new power supply and output circuit on it. Even with all of this and running on battery power, my USB converter is still better. Some USB converters will pass 24/9... | |
| HagUSB vs Other USB Interfaces/Devices Herman - Yes, even my USB DAC and converters will be detected by Windows and it will try to load the native Windows driver, but I recommend against this. The Windows driver is a bad sounding driver. Better to use the custom driver provided for tha... | |
| HagUSB vs Other USB Interfaces/Devices It is the USB device driver that supports ASIO. | |
| Wireless USB Pardales - that is correct, I dont believe it will work with an Off-Ramp or USB DAC.I think this UWB stuff just wont work. Need to stick with Wi-Fi.Steve N. | |
| Wireless USB Did you read this:"Note: The Wireless USB Extender does not support isochronous USB"I believe it will not work with typical USB audio converters.Steve N.Empirical AudioManufacturer | |
| High-res Downloads of Orchestral music available Try this link - the other was not correct:http://www.linnrecords.com/linn-downloads-what.aspx | |
| High-res Downloads of Orchestral music available Another interesting websight is this Linn one:http://www.linnrecords.com/linn-downloads-what.aspx/The tracks are all in WMA format though, so they have to be converted to play on decent players like Foobar or jriver. |
