Mani, a month or so ago you posted a question at this site asking how possible to use Pacific as the ONLY DAC in playback. Sine at that time you deal with Pacific was pending we decided to remove the post in order do not create unnecessary agitations...

In continuation to the "A new round of Pacific’s DAC listening" post.... I have a number of revisions of this little contest between two DACs in this thread and in other threads. In all of them the Lavry 924 has a little edge over Pacific Microso...

Since Pacific lost it’s battle to Lavry AD122 as AD converter I was wondering what I might do with this possessor. My initials sentiment was to sell but Pacific to my large surprise turned out to be a very good CD-level DAC. In fact it is so good 16B...

First of all I had a good conversation with Lynx people. Pacific is very well known to them unit and many of their customers use it. They suggested as the most typical application for their customers to slave Lynx from Pacific in A/D mode and to ...

Mani, interest in using Pacific as the only all-time on DAC revised my interest in pacific D/A converter section. I consider it as a great 16bit DAC and very good 24Bit DAC. The reason I did not elevate in my appraisal Pacific DAC to great status...

Quite sensational, truly. I can’t not at this point to say that it is better of worth: Lavry Gold AD and DA chain of the Pacific. The Pacific has own “softness” twist and some extra futures making it difficult to “compare” with Lavrys. Much higher in...

Mani, Pacific is freaky and it detects HDCD code only at the resolution that it was encoded. If it was coded at 16 bit then it will not read the HDCD at 20 Bit. There is an option in there that set the HDCD detection death… I did not play a lot ...

Two month back I stopped to use Pacific A/D but yesterday, experimenting with some exciting things ( I will tell later) I discover a very interesting configuration in which Pacific is free from small compression problems that I reported before. I was...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] Whoever follows the Pacific Microsonics threads, or whoever use Pacific know that both Models one and two have an interesting idiosyncrasy: at maximum sampling rate, when Pacific runs in dual-wire mode, the clock runs at ...

I have to admit that I was experimenting last night with Pacific’s Low Level Extension and it was not bad at all. It would not be my last words as I would need the whole system up and running to see what is going on – the region where the Low Level E...

This mystery that I would like to get answer….
Both Pacific Microsonics Model One and Model One have adjustable DAC output. Although Pacific claims the ultra-low distortion and super-high quality of their digital attenuation my negative positi...

I did today my first recording with Model 2. The configuration-wise it was very cool. The Pacific now in single-wire mode while it does A/B to 88/24 and the clock also outputs 88K. The single-wire mode is the reason why I moved from the Model One...

[quote user="manisandher"] I've wanted to do this comparison for a while now. Apart from just not having the time recently, the biggest obstacle has been not being able to use the Pacific in Master mode above 96KHz. As you know, it will only output a...

It is not a problem I guess if used it as it is it was intended – as a mastering processor but as a A/D, D/D, Reference Master Clock processor that work with any sampling rates and resolutions it is it kind of a bit pain in ass. I do have a number o...

For whatever reason people expressed a lot of interest to Pacific vs. Lavry A/D and I recently got an relatively a large number of emails, including from the people I do not even know, asking me to compare identical analog tracjs and post the foundin...

Got the Model 2 from Euphonix a few days back. Expensive but they did a very good job. If even a part of what they said they did was done to my unit then they did not change enough. BTW, Euphonix was sold a few days back to Avid. Will new Avid/Euphon...

The problem with my unit was that in A/D of one channel there was some kind of “very high precision capacitor” the value of which drifted. That offset the A/D and presented the unit to but up. There were a few other minor things that they found and a...

Telstar, yes, you might be right. I do not know those peoples personally but I have opened my Pacific to serve the cooling fan and have seen HOW the unit was m...

Did I tell you that Pacific Microsonics DAC is a phenomenal 16-bit DAC? I did not lie and it is very good. Look however what the updated Lavry 924++ did with it.
They are very short and small (6Meg) files, mono, 88/24 with a few seconds of opening o...

After all I just realized that I am due to my Moronity I did not use the full capacity of Pacific Microsonics A/D. Since I have fugue it out it just open a second round of my love to this processor and I am switching to use it as my main recoding A/D...

Hi,I've just taken receipt of a Model 2 to use as a DAC in my study (using the ADC occasionally for recording live from a mic). I would like to feed the balanced XLR outputs of the Model 2 into the single-ended RCA inputs of my Berning Siegfried amp,...
