| USB or Squeezebox Touch from Mac to DAC A slight downside to Steve's SynchroMesh is that it is tuned for one set of frequencies: so you have to choose 44.1kHz (most of your CDs) or 96kHz (for hires stuff).You can purchase a software to enable the USB port on the SB Touch to work with US... | |
| HELP w Esoteric K-01 If the power is erratic where you live (like in mine), it might be helpful to get something like the PurePower. | |
| New Oppo 103 & 105 Q&A Interview Like the 93, the 103's role is as a digital transport primarily so the analogue outputs/DAC section aren't as robust or as well designed as on the xx5 range. @Hikmer, how was the 4k output though? Did you have any chance to compare it to the Sony ... | |
| Does Anyone Have a Traveling System? I dont think the immersion factor is the same with a 15" display even if you are seated close by.But one of these...http://www.siliconmicrodisplay.com/st1080.htmlThat might persuade me :D | |
| Best way to hook up a sub? Is this for a home theater or a hifi system?If it's for HT, it's easy enough to hook it up. Just use the LFE output from the AV receiver or prepro.For music, it's a bit more difficult. You might want to look at one of these boxes:http://velodyne.c... | |
| Does Anyone Have a Traveling System? May I recommend:Smyth Audio Research's Realiser A8 ;)Use a set of ortho cans like an Audeze LCD2/3 with a modest head amp (tho the LCDs will work with the Realiser's headphone output) and you'll have an awesome surround sound experience to go with... | |
| Ipod 30-pin-to-USB cable Interesting.I am using the short ALO one for my Cypher Solo which I thought works quite well | |
| Ipod 30-pin-to-USB cable I don't think the AudioQuest USB (which are A to B type connectors) cable will work with the ipod. | |
| New Oppo 103 & 105 Q&A Interview There isn't one. But is there really a large target market for a mediocre DAC with async USB connection? But the better DACs in the 105? That would benefit from the async USB connection. It's why Oppo has 2 models in their line up. They used to ha... | |
| Ipod 30-pin-to-USB cable Found the reviewhttp://www.enjoythemusic.com/magazine/equipment/0109/marantz_sa8003.htm"The USB input is powered by an NEC uPD63901 microcontroller (designed for use in car audio head units), and it enables the SA8003 to play MP3, WAV, WMA and AAC... | |
| Ipod 30-pin-to-USB cable I remember reading a review that stated that the USB port on the Marantz SACD/CD player SA8003(? I think) didn't use the better DAC that they used for SACD. I don't have the link off hand though. So it may not be worth springing for a better cable... | |
| New Oppo 103 & 105 Q&A Interview Why 105? Because the dCS doesn't play multi channel SACDs, nor DVDA nor Blurays.The 103 is primarily designed as a digital transport so the DACs used in the design (and the analog subsystem) aren't great to start with.It does have the HDMI inputs ... | |
