| New or Old DAC Great! Analog based DC Power exists, the Earth really is flat, the Moon is really made of Green Cheese, the Loch Ness Monster really exists, so does Big Foot, the Land of OZ really exists, and Smoking actually improves your health! Are there any o... | |
| New or Old DAC You want the short version? Analog based DC Power is a completely bogus and twisted concept. Analog based DC Power, this is your word construct, not mine! It is something that would be constructed by someone who has no idea of how a Power Supply w... | |
| New or Old DAC Jmcgrogan2-Sorry, I am still trying to translate what you are saying into something that makes sense. You classified DC Power to an Analog Stage as being, "Analog Based". Since when if both Analog and Digital Stages are based on DC Power Supplies.... | |
| digital front end to rival best vinyl? I am currently using a hard drive based Digital Front End. I use a Universal Player that Downmixes Multi-channel SACD/DVD-Audio to 2-Channels. It is the closest that I have heard any Silver Disk come to compete with Vinyl, and that includes the 2-... | |
| New or Old DAC Jmcgrogan2- I am still awaiting an answer! How is A.C. Current that has been Rectified to D.C. Current, and is Voltage Regulated, and now supplies Analog as well as Digital Stages, Analog Based? Direct Current is Direct Current regardless if it is... | |
| To mod or not to mod, dac is the question Dear Kyneo, the MOD Squad includes Theta, Wadia, Mark Levinson, and just about every Silver Disk spinning High End Manufacturer Out there. All of them use Disk Drives made by Pioneer, Sony, or Phillips. Either you MOD for yourself, or you pay some... | |
| Can even a Novice hear differences in Sound Qualit Update: Time for the Pettyofficer to eat some Crow. Sent three E-mails to Capitol Mastering Studios, and one E-mail to Marcussen Mastering Studios. Both Studios are listed on the back of the DIANNA KRALL: THE LOOK OF LOVE DVD-Audio Disk. Recieved ... | |
| Current Inexpensive CD Vs High Priced 90's Moomoo, can the 578 play Multi-Channel SACD/DVD-Audio, or 2-Channel Downmixes of both? The results put straight 2-Channel SACD/DVD-Audio Disks to shame, no matter what the Sampling Rate! | |
| To mod or not to mod, dac is the question What Ferrari costs as much as a Honda Civic with aftermarket crap on it. Not everyone is going to be able to afford a Ferrari, otherwise it wouldn't be a Ferrari if it were a dime a dozen. Even the Ferrari Manufacturers understand that, and purpos... | |
| Current Inexpensive CD Vs High Priced 90's I am not familiar with the Pioneer DV-578a. I am currently using a Pioneer Elite DV-58AV, with modified XLR Digital/ XLR Analog-SACD-DVD-Audio. CD sounds excellent through a STL DA-64XT Super. I have never been that impressed with 2-Channel SACD/D... | |
| New or Old DAC Digital or Digital to Analog Conversion Stages run off of what power source, Pyramid Power, or a real tiny Zero Point Module (imported from Stargate Atlantis from another Galaxy somewhere no-less). Must be one hell of an Import Tax. Since when is ... | |
| New or Old DAC Jmcgrogan2: "Remember- no one puts Tubes, fancy caps or resistors in the Digital to Analog Converter, these Premium parts go in the Analog Output Stage." Sorry to disagree, my Space Tech Lab DA-64XT DAC utilizes an STR-104 Tube Rectifier. This Rec... | |
| Can even a Novice hear differences in Sound Qualit Update: Managed to get on E-mail list for Capital Studios via their Website. Left an E-mail for Paula Salvatore, contact at Capitol Studios and Mastering. She appears to work in the Recording Department. Recieved a response, that a formal E-mail i... | |
| Can even a Novice hear differences in Sound Qualit You may think that misery loves company, but I hope by now you realize that I make for lousy company! I am not exactly a follower, if you know what I mean! | |
| Can even a Novice hear differences in Sound Qualit Not yet. I would give it some more time. I also plan on sending three other similar E-mails to three other contacts at Capitol Records. I also plan on sending an E-mail to Marcussen Mastering Studios, the Studios who Mastered the High Resolution S... |
