| flac, wave, mp4, iPod files???? I don't know about the newer iPods, but I rip WAV files and transfer them directly to my 60gb iPod Photo without a hiccup. I've also used Apple Lossless files as well, no problem. Again, don't know much about the iTouch. Why not just try it? | |
| In your opinion, what is Hi, Medium and Low end? I had no idea that there are so many audio people with knowledge that will take the time to help a novice.I thank you all again You will dizzy yourself with the vast number of opinions here. Ask what may occur as a very simple question and you can... | |
| In your opinion, what is Hi, Medium and Low end? As a 24 year old I may be a little late coming to this hobbyI started in this hobby right around that age too...it's certainly not late. Now I'm twice your age and have over 24 years into it. I've definitely settled into certain preferences and ha... | |
| Wavelength Cosecant USB v3 vs Benchmark USB DAC1 Hi Jax, it's a difficult thing: does the Benchmark sound as you described it because it is a very analycal and honest piece of hardware or does the Wavelength make music more palatable by softening the transients somewhat? I think the question is:... | |
| Wavelength Cosecant USB v3 vs Benchmark USB DAC1 I am not a fan of the Benchmark in its current form, nor its old one. I've tried both extensively an could not warm up to either one. On the plus side I found them tremendously detailed and neutral. On the (big) minus side they occurred to me as h... | |
| good horns less than $3000 How would the Khorns sound comparing to Omega speakers? A world apart. Omega's are single driver speakers in small-volume enclosure. They will not have the range, nor the lightening fast dynamics that a Khorn will. The only possible advantage they... | |
| good horns less than $3000 I'd second the Khorns, warnings about shipping, and do go for vintage 70's 80's versions rather than new. A local pair would be best. LaScalas will give you the same midrange and not nearly the bass (assuming you have two corners to put the Khorns... | |
| In your opinion, what is Hi, Medium and Low end? So,I think by Jax2 and Mapmans reply that it takes a very large investment to achieve high end performance and some either just cant afford the cost or are not into the music that much.Did I say that? I'm not even sure where you got that inference... | |
| In your opinion, what is Hi, Medium and Low end? So guys,if you had the dollars to put into a higher end system,would you.And would you then say its all good ??Honest answers only.Please set the ego's aside.I'd probably improve a few things here and there, but I don't think I'd be inclined to in... | |
| I just don't get PC Audio I disagree with the poster that says a Benchmark will give me great performance.....I've tried the Benchmark in its pre-USB form, and in its current USB form. I really wanted to like it, but I hated it both times hooked up in several different sys... | |
| Splitting the signal from the dac Why not use the additional output from the preamp, assuming you are feeding into one?: DAC into preamp, and send the various pre outputs (you can get an RCA splitter if you only have a single output) to your various amps. In that case there would ... | |
| In your opinion, what is Hi, Medium and Low end? By your first paragraph, I'd say you're paying attention and certainly grasp what's going on here. I am not quite sure what, exactly, you are asking though. Is this an audio hierarchy question? Or are you asking what low-mid-high means to others? ... | |
| leave power on? Most of the SS gear I've owned sounded better when left on 24/7. Most tube gear sounds best after a warmup of between 30min and 3 hours. Otherwise leaving tube gear on always is a waste of tube life IMHO. | |
| Pls recommend tube DAC A third thumbs up on the Paradisea+ USB. | |
| How do I build the best room Per Peter's input, IMHO the room size you are proposing may be too small for Maggie 20.1's. I listened over a few visits and various permutations of room treatments, mods and amplification while Peter did everything he described to make them work ... |
