[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Well, there was also an interesting positive moment during this trip. The guy has three of more D/As. It was Audio Research played model 3, the newest DCS and newest Meitner’s EMM transport/DAC. The first two were quite ord...

The regular readers of my audio blog probably have read the thread: “How to record FM broadcasts” at:
http://www.goodsoundclub.com/TreeItem.aspx?postID=1644

I saw this topic and it prompted me to register and reply, rather than just read, which I've been doing on and off for years now.

I think if you find a way to put your hands on a old Level 6 (now merged with Big Five) you could possibly find the best DAC him made. The Level 6 was a R2R chip DAC, very minimalist, but 44/16. I think it got removed due to lack of interest of their...

Yes, it worked in the same way AN do in theirs DACs. They usually use AD1865N (18bit) but with 44.1/48/96KHz (locked at 96/18 IIRC) input capability and if the customer really wants they can make it read 192/24, but still locked at 18bit and always w...

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...

Thanks, Peter
This is an interesting and in a way controversial subject, let us to view it in details.
[quote user="peter foster"] It may be worthwhile to check what transformer is installed in your DA924 because Lavry did change over to torroid tr...

With all magnificence of the new 924++ DAC it have entered the second week of the Nichicon KZ playbook. It was completely predictable and highly expected and now the DAC sound very funny.
The bass is fully developed already. The DA924 always was phe...

In loudspeaker and amplifier design we could use more channels to have better result (like 12 channel DSet concept) but i never seen any DAC/Pre to have more channels.It seems i am speaking about moronic idea but it is interesting to me think about t...

Sure, this gives us no measure of sound, for sound is not reducible to any parameter. But it will tell us which of these DACs recreates the waveform closest to the original, i.e. which leaves the fewest fingerprints on what it does. It will not neces...

[quote user="rowuk"]Amir,you have now posted twice that "proper" USB is better than SPDIF. The problem is that it isn't, unless someone makes up rules to define their own sense of better. The problem here is that they have not defined anything that i...

[quote user="rowuk"]How many sources do you currently have? If you are building a phono corrector, make it for 4 volts output. If you have a PC for digital playback, there are good DACs with more than 2V output. That would leave a tuner to pimp - cer...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]
The last two weeks I have no preamp in house. I have great vintage EVS attenuators but I can’t use them with Melquiades as they talk with Milq’s input filters absolutely killing sound. The only way I can play music thos...

Not that I want to divert my attention from my horn project, I'll admit I am curious. The horns are going to take some time, so I might be able to squeeze this in if it proves feasible.While some might scoff at such a thought, for many of us, digital...

I am in the process of setting up a DAW to record fm broadcast. Recently I installed a M-Audio 2496 DAC in a computer to do the recording. I am using a Yamaha T-85 tuner. Prior to routing the i.c. cables through the DAC I had no background noise f...

Guys, it is worth thinking about where the computer attributable noise is best intercepted. Since the signal is digital all the way to the DAC, it is sufficient to optoisolate the USB connection. If your DAC runs the USB traffic asynchronously al...

Well, it looks like the new Berkeley's DAC moved from development and prototype into production. I most likely will have a change to trying in a couple weeks but I do not know at this point if I will do it. The final version of Berkeley's Alfa DAC ha...

Some people I read about on Russian audio site made experiment running DA10 and Berkeley DAC in different systems and found Berkeley DAC more interesting. I am not sure what it means – I invest very little credibility to most of the people out there ...

[quote user="jtavan"]It looks like you're looking at the right brands for ADC. It seems likely to me that getting proper A/D conversion is as hard as or harder than getting proper D/A conversion. I'm currently shopping for a good A/D converter for a ...

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...
