It sound like the Emmlabs I heard before. A few things. I am not familiar with Marantz CD5004 but I am pretty sure that it is not TL0, in fact nothing most likely is. If you use TL0 then it will be very different result as TL0 push a LOT of more out ...

I am putting together a system from the ground up, and while I am almost certain that I will be getting the CEC TLOX transport, I am at a loss as where to start in terms of auditioning DACS, it having been quite some time since last bought anything d...

I understand the rational to get TL0, even though I would not do it as now if I start fresh. The perspective that I am trying to bring is kind of DAC related, If you get TLO and would go for “ultimate” DAC for that transport then you might discover ...

Interesting that problems Harley isolated in this case (pits and lands; turntable) were physical/mechanical, utimately "analog", in that sense. I'm glad someone has stayed after it, but not sure how to put this revelation to work to get better Music ...

Thanks, jtavan.
It was educational. I made some first steps already. I made a slow 233MHz (and presumable it would have lower noise with lower speed) machine with no fans, and a large passive radiator on SPU. Formatted it and loaded Win2K Pro St4. S...

I think DP-777 sounds best when i turn off it's Jitter correction and i use bit Perfect I mode in 16bit 44.1khz mode.I think AMR DP-777 is very very good DAC but in my idea it is a-little bold sounding if i criticize tone.It sounds clear , very clear...

It has some many variables involved what make in practice very "system dependent".A CD transport follow (more or less) a constant design, while each PC can have so many differences between each other it is impossible to make a statement.At the (norm...

So I thought my tuner weren't properly adjusted. It has not been serviced nor recently aligned, I have no proficient technicians around who I depend to let them put their hands into the tuner. The damn thing always picked up Bidat's and CEC...

CEC TL0 3.0 (I have CEC TL0 3.0 model 2018) is my favorite Transport and the question is could it be improved?
CEC has very very good dynamics good bass good pace good rhythm good dimension very accurate sound, low jitter and very tr...

Hey Alex,Aside from the obvious swapping of cables, do you have any extra outputs in your preamp? Don't try any sort of splitting device...I did it once with very cheap cables and couldn't listen for more than 30 seconds. You could always...

[quote user="coops"] … spent a week listening to the AMR, cd77 really wanted to like it, built solidly, but sound wise it is lackluster [/quote]I never hear word “Lackluster” and I looked it up in dictionary. Can you tell more about it? You are...

As with all our ventures in life, the measure of our success is in hindsight what would have I have done differently. Although it is fairly early days for me yet, at the moment, if I went back to the drawing board and had to start again, I would ...

OK, not to use "that word"; it is obviously an inverted and self-limiting concept as you tab it, and it is an easy, slippery slope to slide down.So how does one {mentally/verbally] approach situations where certain otherwise-"acceptable" compone...

Jorge, do you have any picture of those Aurios? Do they have two caps to hold the ball or one?If two, did you attach the upper one firmly to the component or simply put it on it, using weight?How would you describe the negative sound change?Is Forsel...

The primary mode may not be the lowest present mode, but it will only be apparent if the pick-up's own curve is known over the desired frequency band.As for spikes, I see no reason to use them on a suspended wood floor, but in any case the idea i...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]2) Very smartly rolled off HF. Bidat is not the most advanced HF performer but any other DAC that I heard (you can put here a long list of the best DACs you know off) are too bright for my taste. I do feel ...

Hi,I'm thinking to put up a PC to just play audio files (I'm not interesting in any kind of recording).From the previous discussions it seems that a good digital interface can be Lynx AES 16.My first question is about quality. Considering...

[quote user="item"]On a really fundamental level, this conversation isn't working. [/quote] No, it is OK, I did not expect a lot more. Your analog power supplies are interesting. I never tried it and when I heard other people did them they reported c...

Hi,
Last week I briefly compared my 47 non-oversampling DAC ("low performance" TDA1543), an original Teac player also used as transport (AD1862N-J ?) and a modified Akai (PCM63P or PCM56P ?). This comparison wasn't done with my single driver speaker...
|
[quote user="Romy the Cat"]The Bidat uses TDA1547 chip but I think the iDAT 44 and iDAT-M uses something else. [/quote]Interesting, very interesting.My Teac vrds 10se uses this dac. I have been proposed to mod it to improve the output stage, but i wa...
|
Romy, I also just integrated a new DAC and transport. I tried an Acoustic Revive OCC single signal wire co-ax, and it is OK, providing about what I would expect in the way of "harmonics" from digital, but very good pitch, etc. ...
|
I spend a couple days playing with my digital, listening, measuring, trying to realize how to use it, trying to take advantage (if it exists) of my new Pacific processor. It is a true remarkable machine but the Pacific processor also highlighted to m...

[quote user="Paul S"]I am not so much a Heifetz booster as I am am appreciative of the piece, here rendered quite well, and with veryy good stereo (LP) sound. I don't knw anything about your vinyl playback, but this LP should not sound "emaciat...

Maybe this won't work at all. I can sure see how it could get way out of hand very quickly. In fact, I have seen it at the "other" forum, and it's not a pretty sight.Romy, it's your site, and I trust you can decide if this turns into...

The CD got here in maybe 2 days, "Letters For The Future", Time For Three, DG label. It is structured and played as a concerto. I just played it via my Accustic Arts Drive 1 transport/iDAT 44++ DAC, etc. I am glad I got the CD, as it makes the Music ...

Mine arrived too. Many thanks Romy. Unfortunately, my TEAC CD Player is very fussy about some CDR's and won't recognise them. It has turned its nose up at this! It can sometimes be persuaded, we'll see. In the meantime I'll be trying the music on a l...

Peter, what is the relation in your installation between DA-924 and the tuner? Hey might not be sufficiently connected in order the HF dirt penetrate the tuner. In my case it is too much and the interference is very strong. In my case TU-X1 has no we...
