| Which DAC or Sound Card .Hi JPO,iRocs come up on the 'gon every once and awhile and are worth the wait imho! One was for sale early last month and was snapped up right away...don't remember the price.Rumor has it that Larry Moore (Creator of the iRoc) is creating a kille... | |
| Which DAC or Sound Card .Hi Kbamhi... if you're going USB, and your DACs need cabling,you might want to think about which USB cable... it makes a big difference! Plain old printer cable won't cut it and will nullify any hardware you're testing/acquiring. I recommend inve... | |
| Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments? .Thanks Ted for the update and the clarifications... both now and in the past...particularly on the power cords, the PowerCell, and the Enigma... and good to hear that you have found solution to the scarcity of particular tubes for another version... | |
| Which DAC or Sound Card .Hi Kbamhi,One place to begin your research for the perfect (perfect for you) USB DAC might be to talk to Larry Moore of Ultra Fi audio. I have one of his iRoc USB DACs hooked up to a MacMini and the rest of my gear and like it very much.Happy lis... | |
| Lossless Downloads .Sidssp... what player would you recommend for Mac OS X.5.4? If, for example, some of the Linn hi-res formats don't allow iTunes to play them.The information and leads provided in the group is very interesting and appreciated!Ed. | |
| What McIntosh disc player sounds better? Why not go to the MS 750... no more plastic cases filling up your listening room! | |
| Computer output to DAC, which route? .Cerrot,Several USB DACs have their own independent power supply. For example, the Ultra Fi iRoc asych DAC takes care of the power supply "problem" you "identify" and its own power supply. On the other hand,many serious technical and audio-experie... | |
| New to Analog and just played my first record in .Ejlif... nice! And I agree with Tvad as well.I am facing a pound for pound test of my iRoc against my Cary 303/300 here real soon. And I'll be testing the Synergistic USB against the Ridge Street Audio Poeima!!! as well.The truth is *in there*. A... | |
| New to Analog and just played my first record in .Ejlif, you wrote, and I understand it's just your opinion, but it's stated as a rather large declarative, a generalization and perhaps even value judgement that (imho) has lost its edge, or point, or even relevance (especially if you begin to con... | |
| The best CD Player for the money I realize this is heresy, but to answer the implied question that prompted this thread, "THE BEST CD PLAYER FOR THE MONEY"...imho, the best CDP for the money goes as follows:MacMini (in additon to playing music from the HD or showing movies from t... | |
| Computer output to DAC, which route? In my humble opinion going USB DAC is the only quality way.Several USB DACs are out there. I'd like to suggest a conversation with Larry Moore and trial of his designed and manufactured Ultra Fi iRoc USB DAC... so simple and simply amazing...espec... | |
| How Do I Point iTunes to use my backup ext drive? As I said in an earlier PC Audio thread earlier this week...This is a good starting point. Lots of beginner's nitty gritty. I found it helpful when I began my iTunes' quest.http://www.peachpit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=1220425&seqNum=01Also,... | |
| Will a new DAC make an improvement in sound? Ehider,It's hard to believe that Larry will have in production something better than the iRoc... with the right USB cable and computer (MacMini... yeah!) and components and speakers and cabling between them, the iRoc is just stunning. The iRoc mak... | |
| iTouch-MacMini w/ Mocha VNC lite & Chicken of VNC I finally figured it out. COVNC is *not* needed. The Apple X.5.4 OS with its sharing correctly configured takes care of the connection with the iTouch through Mocha VNC lite just fine. The Mocha people are great. A big public thanks to them for th... | |
| 20amp cord I second the opinion about direct wall-plug use for the amp. A-B it, and I think you'll agree. I know I was very surprised. |
