| Creative+Lavry or USB to IS2 As far as I know, I'm the only one designing computer-driven I2S interfaces. I had not planned to add I2S to the Lavry, however if it has I2S internally, this can be done with a wire harness and some rework to the board.Steve N.Empirical Audio | |
| Life is complicated, lets keep it simple. It is simple. You simply open EAC and then put the CD into the CDROM or DVDROM drive and "rip" it to the hard disk. You select the tracks that you want to rip in EAC. Here is a download site for EAC:http://www.exactaudiocopy.de/index.htmlNone of t... | |
| bel canto dac2 hum? Whether or not you get hum depends on whether your system has problematic ground-loops. If you have no ground loops, you will not get hum.Steve N.Empirical AudioManufacturer | |
| Stellavox ST2 DAC and use of worldclock generators Word clocks are actually not applicable to many modern DAC chips. If you read the datasheets, it is the Bit Clock or BCLK,SCLK that actually does the final clocking through the DAC chip in many cases. If you implement a word clock on one of these ... | |
| USB-S/PDIF Converter or USB DAC? Yes, the lower jitter equates to better sound.Not sure about the SB jitter measurements. Most stock units have relatively high jitter IME.Steve N. | |
| USB-S/PDIF Converter or USB DAC? "-Isoncronous (isosyncronus?) data transfer.."Isochronous means that the bandwidth and access is guaranteed. This helps eliminate underruns. Most USB controllers use this mode."-We also have the new DVD players with buffer systems to do the error ... | |
| If you have a "kick booty" DAC, does the transport Here is something semi-technical to read:http://www.positive-feedback.com/Issue14/spdif.htm | |
| USB-S/PDIF Converter or USB DAC? Not sure about the spurious emissions. It is evidently the new ultrawideband technology in the Belkin device, which is low-power but wide frequency emissions. If there is an RF technology that might cause problems, this is it.If you want something... | |
| USB-S/PDIF Converter or USB DAC? See this link, not 802.11x:http://www.belkin.com/pressroom/releases/uploads/01_03_06CableFreeUSB.html | |
| USB-S/PDIF Converter or USB DAC? Belkin will also be offering a wireless USB Hub in July 06. This will have the bandwidth for 24/96. | |

| Audiophile USB to PCM "How about a SPDIF with a Monarchy DIP? I would like to use a DAC soI just need good SPDIF output."If you are wanting a "good S/PDIF output", this will not get it for you. It just changes the jitter. | |
| Audiophile USB to PCM "How is transit stock? Pretty good quality?"It's only mediocre as all stock equipment is."Why is the mod necessary and how do we do it?"The mod makes it sound good. Add modded Superclock3 and change the circuit to S/PDIF output, improve power deli... | |
| What's wrong with a DVD player as a transport? Whites - I usually run a full diagnostic and check the modes now. You may have been an early customer, prior to when I started doing this.Steve N. |
