[quote user="mats"] Inspired in part by Romy's results and excitement with FM, I wanted to try. Restricted by apartment living, I had difficulties achieving a quiet stereo signal. I was also concerned about the a/d conversion for digital recordi...

T, The phrase “"no measurable jitter” was actually the Ed Meitner quote and it was he himself who claimed that his transport and his DAC bound together via his C-clock interface have no measurable jitter. I have no reasons to disbelieve him regarding...

Srajan have mentioned at his News Page (the only resource worth reading at his site) that a new CEC TL1N transport and CEC DX1N DAC become available, well available in civilized countries like Poland not in the countries were the fucked up distributo...

The Stahl-Tek DAChttp://www.stahltek.com/vekian_da.htmKeith, what is interesting is that you claim “greater resolution” and “presence” - would you please explain what does it mean?The Cat...

I never hit such a huge jackpot as I just did with the Lavry DA-924. The most funny in that even that I did it absolutely blindly. I had some minor beef with DA-924 sound: upperbass/lower midrange and the slightly too much extended HF (very very clea...

Amir,R2R Discrete, means it uses the good "old" resistor ladder instead of a DAC chip. There is more info here. But you can find more around the internet.Cheers....

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Did you try to listen and did detect sonic benefits from slaving your PC interface from you DAC? The Cat[/quote]Oh yes, I've tried this for sure. There is a difference between the three modes; DIG_IN, REFWCLK and MASTER. Th...

Paul SI don't have vinyl playback at the moment. My source is an MSB Platinum Data IV transport with transport power base, fed into a Metrum Hex dac. The amp is an Ars Sonum Filharmonia. So there isn't much of a power drain. Also: cabling is...

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 ...

[quote user="Stitch"]Based on that marketing I would say, digital playback is now 25x better than live. Minimum.[/quote]:-)))New CEC DAC DA0-3.0 is in market , It will be connected to TL0-3.0 transport and it uses r-2r network. http://www.cec-web.co....

I think that picking a DAC is like picking speakers - regardless of the price, we don't know what we have until we get there. I do not think that it is possible to compare digital and analog playback forms. With a turntable we have as many choices (g...

Hello, I agree with you,there is a lot of risk involved in it.However we do have an in home trial program.You simply pay for the unit and shipping, we will send you our DAC. You can listen to it in your own setup, if not completely delighted, return ...

Romy if you have the oppurtunity , try to hear the new dac by Mike Stahl, the Stahl-Tek 'Vekian' in my system it has greater resolution, weight and presence than the Lavry and MSB platinum which were my favourite dacs until now, regards Keith....

Keith, sorry, man, it is very much not about the damn DAC but about your simplicity and density. I hope when you grow up or get more mature you understand what it was all about. Meanwhile, keep buying, selling, experimenting – it looks it is all blin...

So, now I am overlaying the sonar map on top of the audio output sweeps, to create a hybrid audio map. This then means we create an algorithm to input to a suitable audio reader. I then place this reader between the source (eg cd, dac) and the amp. L...

I have for some time unplugged digital gear that is not in use, and it's no happenstance that my DAC is tweaked to operate "off the grid". Distancing the stuff is good, as noted, and it can also help to use a different circuit and/or ground for...

Dear Romy,
I am continuing with testing.
Conclusions at high amplifier volume: -
1) FM tuner variable OUTPUT-2 supplies less background noise than FM tuner variable OUTPUT-1.2) Inserting hard disk recorder into the chain is blameless....

Hi, Max.
When you say “WAV file X burned on CD-R” then the question would be what was the source of those files? If you have a row source with some kind of A/D and if you intend to stay with 44 then 44/20 is OK format, do not stay with for 16 Bit. H...

This is classical common mode noise interference on a common supply. This type of noise will pass right through any power conversion technology and in both directions. Due to the timing variations, I would expect it to be a little bit of mains inte...

John, thanks for answering, but I am still a long way from understanding exactly what you are suggesting. I understand if you want to keep something proprietary, but even then I would need to have a clearer "picture" of it. This may be at least par...

I have not read this book (the wood effect) and if you have shopping link please sent it to me.I am not sure but It seems even amplifier speaker connection is important for sound.In past I have inverted the signal phase in my DAC and also inverted sp...
