Yes , romy I understand completely about how you feel with dc i feel the same way when thinking on all my system , to put dc on an amp , directly can be great but not practical , will requiere lot of space , a big battery bank etc etc , so not practi...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]The "listening to the room" is NOT the DPoLS subject in my view, however, if you feel that it is then it is fine with me.
The Cat[/quote]I agree with romy , I think DPOLS help us to find the most neutral zone in room but d...

Never had a 100kg power supply to play with, but I have certainly noticed that changing the power source affects dynamics (along with plenty of other things, too). I prefer my friend's system's dymanics when "grid power" is connected, vs giant batter...

Is my CEC TL0 stopped to work I was kind of suicidal as I do not feel to pay 10K for a new one and I will never find anything the sound as good. A friend of my suggested me to contact Nick Gowan who can fix CEC: http://www.tsound.com/inquiries.htmlPr...

Part of the reason we call our computers 'transports' is to encourage people to think of the number-crunching part of an audio system in the same already familiar terms as a CD player - because all the same things matter: CD transports vary according...

[quote user="item"] For future reference, in case anyone else is as confused as I am about the content of this thread; from the horse's mouth: the Item DAT1 could just about be considered a 'DAW' (the SPDIF version records analog, and you can run...

[quote user="decoud"]I know there has been controversial discussion of this here, but anything upstream of a DAC, i.e. anything digital can have only one metric of quality: jitter (assuming bit perfection, which these days is assured). Unlike anythin...

[quote user="xandcg"]Amir,If you are looking for a transparent DAC and it could have a built-in preamp, you may want to take a look on:Merging + NadacNadac Player, same but a built-in music server (or something).I did not listened to them, but at lea...

Why is Acoustic Solid so interesting to me? Well, it should be to most when you read stuff like a $1,600 Black Wood Classic model can beat out a $5,500 Super Scoutmaster model from VPI, and a $4,000 Solid One can compete with a TW Acus...

Any computer does absolute the same level of universality by being a digital file player. My telephone does it but I do not call my telephone a “digital transport”. Ripping CD it is not what your devise does but the fr...

Hi Romy,
Have you ever heard any burned CD-R that wasn't disappointing on YOUR
transport? My impression is that all this "CD-R talk" is very dependent on
particular CD transport used for playing. Certainly there are other factors like CD-R...

As I told before I picked recently a new interesting DAC and I got for it some AES/EBU cables. That made me to make the same Bidat vs. Lavry experiments only to use the AES/EBU interface with Lavry Gold. During those experiments I did not use S...

Hi Alex,Short of waving goodbye to the Bidat for a few months, you could always TRY the splitter idea from your favorite cable guy. It may be acceptable enough for your needs.Did you mean there is no space on the back of your passive/relay base...

Romy when you use your transport and DAC how do you connect them. What kind of putputs does the Lavry have, my pre only has xlr ( balanced ) or single ended inputs ,could I use something like the lavry, also do you have a link to pacific microsonics ...

...But they are poorly implemented. Something to do with the 24/192 conversion. AFAIK nowadays most recordings are done 24/96, but it will eventually go up when higher resolution devices becomes the standard (I think about Prism, but theres more).Out...

[quote user="el`Ol"]Pacific Microsonics are filter kings, but if the Lavry is the best hardware, wouldn´t it be nice to let it play the CDs, too?[/quote]I did, the TL0 transport reads CD with so much more quality that any further experiments with DAC...

This is a bit of a childish "I'm right! - No, I'm right! - No, I'm right!" 'discussion'. I know that there are differences between acouctic live, amplified live and playback of a recording and never stated there wasn't or one could ever be mistaken f...

Dear Romy,Though not related to this topic much, but I want to know your opinion about discontinued DPA dacs. There is a chance for me to buya PDA 1024. For the moment I dont have a proper transport to test it and just use my digital radio's output. ...

Well, I always noticed that 'universal' transports which spin the CD at 4x, 8x, 16x, 32x (faster each year) sound much muddier and grainier then the dedicated CD ones. Unfortunately nowadays there are hardly one or two commercially available OEM CD-t...
