Novice question about Internet Downloading.
Thanks Swampwalker, will check it out. Yeah, I might be in the wrong Forum-sorry about that, Vandermeulen! I am just a plain Audiophile who is a little worried about the down sloping demise of CD, SACD, and DVD-Audio! Just what exactly is going to... 
Novice question about Internet Downloading.
USB can carry 24/96-24/196 High Resolution Digital? What happens when these High Resolution Digital Files are compressed? Any Music Servers that provide their own Hardware for Downloading High Resolution Digital Files off of the Internet, bypassin... 
Novice question about Internet Downloading.
Valid question, Vandermeulen. I am a novice of Computers, and I am just an Audio geek. I am Military Retired, and currently using a CyberCafe Computer on Base for free. I don't own my own Computer. I have been surfing the Internet for some time. ... 
MOLD on compact discs
I had a similar problem- an ABBA 2-disk Collection edition. It seems that a thin film of insulation that was supposed to protect the CD disks, actually decayed and affixed itself to the disks. I tried to remove the gluey gunk with soap and water, ...

Sorry about the lack of brevity, 2chnlben, but what do you expect from someone who is on drugs. Alright, lets try to set all hurt feelings aside, and I will try to be brief as possible. I firmly believe that the Rectifying Power Stage to ANY circu...

Jmcgrogan2-SNAP! Almarg-CRACKLE! Cajunpepe-POP! Is that noise my breakfast cereal, or my Drugs kicking in? If it is neither, then (ZAP!) someone is spasming on the way to becoming a crispy critter! Naw, couldn't be, I must be drunk or my inability...

Cajunpepe- Please tell me that you don't prefer the sticking of of a fork in the Electrical Outlet, the same as your two friends Jmcgrogan2 and Almarg. Hey guys, there are only so many Darwin awards to go around! So exactly what kind of drug am I ...

Everyone-you can give up on me, but please don't give up on the Laws of Physics, nor Electrical and Electronic Theory! You might live a little longer, and you just might avoid earning that Darwin Award! The Power Supply to any Circuit is separate ...

Jmcgrogan2- No-one is misinterpreting the Digital to Analog Converter chip to mean the Power Supply. Just don't understand how you can eliminate or exclude the Power Supply from the Digital to Analog Converter Chip Circuit. We are supposed to excl...

Audiofeil- perhaps YOUR tradition continues after you servedin the U.S. Navy years ago. Atleast I can abreviate "U S"! It is that funny looking key on your keyboard with an arrow pointing to your right (your military right-damn it) with a weird li...

Almarg-everything that you and Jmcgrogan2 have suggested-can only lead to one conclusion. That you and him both believe that there is a serious distinction between the DC Current Supply to the Analog Stage as opposed to the Digital Stage. If not-w...

Pettyofficer: Sorry to disagree, my Space Tech Lab DA-64XT DAC utilizes an STR-104 Tube Rectifier. This Rectifier does have two very, very large Tubes that supply power to all of the components within the DAC. Nice try Almarg, components within...

Almarg- I am going to try this one more time. It doesn't matter if one is refering to the DAC as the entire component or strictly the the "digital to analog converter" dac circuit or chip! There is no distinguishing the power supply within the ove... 
New or Old DAC
Almarg- "The Rectifying Stage Circuit IS the Power Supply, and it is an Analog Circuit" Then if the Rectifying Stage Circuit IS the Power Supply, and it utilizes Tubes, then Jmcgrogan2's claim that no-one uses Tubes-fancy Caps-or Resistors in the ... 
New or Old DAC
Almarg-The Power Supply to Analog circuitry, as well as Digital circuitry, comes from the same source. It is Direct Current from the Rectifying Stage. This Direct Current isn't Transmogrified if it is supplying an Analog circuit instead of a Digit...
