Mr. Lapmpizator is a character. From a technician's standpoint, he should get credit for tearing apart the CEC transport and sorting out the SPDIF trace. Loved the disguised motor, where the costume cost more than the crappy chinese motor (new $4, le...

The new reference Lavry that eventually does 4X is a very cool idea. The volume control is a bit damn thing to have in there, particularly for pro unit but it is what it is, thank God it is analog volume control anyhow. The mono switch is also a coo...

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 is better. Both metho...

[quote user="Jorge"] Anyway a couple of months ago a friend brought over a modded Denon multiplayer, I dont remember the model (I could look it up), it was highly modded, we were testing it with a projector and its Blue Ray capabilities, he then i...

Well, the parts and construction of these things I do not think are relevant. We are not in position to evaluate this and the most important no one has idea how it relates to sound. Years back I asked my digital expert to evaluate the literature that...

People argue out there if a DAC need to do upsampling. I usually do not like the upsampling DAC and always prefer, or even insist to play in whatever format the source is. Some DACs do not ask you and upsample the incoming stream to 2x and higher ...

Denial Weiss just released a new DAC:
http://www.weiss-highend.ch/dac202/index.html
It looks like a versatile DAC, reasonably priced. There is not information about architecture, I am sure it be coming. Goggling the DAC202 bring ...

To whom it might be interested. The Berkeley Audio DAC reportedly uses the Delta-Sigma Analog Devices’ DAC AD1955A. It is SACD compatible, with attenuation in the chip. I guess it might be obvious what might be the next revision of Berkeley DAC… ...

Yes, the enclosure something like this, thanks for tip, miab, but it opens a door for desire more. A good box with fanless operation, 1920 x 1200 pixels touch-screen, 6 hard-drives, remoter control, $650 price tag is...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] In my case, the CD transport (which is no slouch) is soundly beaten. Apart from using it to make the occasional comparison, I have not touched the CD transport since unpacking the DAC.[/quote]
Jessie, I see an inconsiste...

Thanks, Paul, I defiantly not going to do DIY cables. I went to

… and “designed” my own cable. It cost penny, it might not be good but it will be with AES/EBU specifications and it will make me start d...

Oh that forgotten pleasure… I am not spoiled with audio experiments nowadays. Partially because I do not have a lot of drive and have reached a definitive return in my possible audio experiments. Another partial preseason is that I kind of able to pr...

Romy,
No, the DAC was not set at maximum level (for best sound) while Cyrille listening to the system. It was set at normal volume for the whole system. When Cyrille dropped by, I was showing him the Field Coil open baffle speaker system which con...

Hi Romy, I recently heard the smallest Cessaro and while I felt that the bass was not adequate for long term satisfaction it was also not a total disaster. From the midbass on up; however, the speaker is simply superb and one of the very best h...

Paul S,I usually do not compare source components (or amplifiers or cables or etc.) in this fashion, DAC vs DAC, CDT vs CDT etc. unless I feel two (or more) of then (may) be too similar, like Lampizator and AN UK DACs I like. I prefer to focus integr...

[quote user="scooter"]Gentlemen:
...*Regarding playback, I misspoke in my original post of an "Audiophile music server." Upon further reflection, this is an oxymoron, if not a moronic phrase. I think it is highly unlikely that a dedicated audiop...

I have found the problem and was able to resolve the noise quandary.
The Lavry ADC has balance analog input and the Sansui has single-ended output. I use my PAD’s Dominus cable with an RCA to XLR adapter. The adaptor was made by BAT and I used it f...

Good news for audiophiles Cessaro new speaker is active and all Components like DAC DSP Pre and Power are in the new cessaro ported DSP loudspeaker.You just need a transport like cheap LG Samsung to play Ultra high end Sound ??https://www.cessaro.de/...

I have been thinking about how nice it would be to have have a good sounding DSP for crossover and delay functionality. I know this subject was covered here before but what was talked about is this DSP is not that good, and this DSP is horrible, etc....

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 anything in the analogue dom...

The “estimable” Srajan Ebaen publish at his site a “review” of the Antelope Zodiac DAC. http://www.6moons.com/audioreviews/antelope3/1.htmlOf cause it is not a review of any kind but pure infomercial and at least it talks about the DAC future in deta...

Dear Romy,I have completed testing on my machines and am now satisfied with the results.I have three output sections of the FM tuner able to be switched easily on my amplifier for instant comparison.a) [FM tuner FIXED ANALOG OUTPUT] -> [...

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...

N-set, In think you need keep reading as the balancing DAC is not something that make Bidat unique. I pretty sure 24 year back it was but not now. The whole idea of IDAT is (among many other things) that it dynamically applies type of digital algorit...

OT :David , it does not matter which DAC or component one is using in the way if I use the same DAC I will end up having a different result . It all depends on your whole implementation you cannot just buy the same component and expect same results ....

[quote user="Serge"]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 commerc...

Stitch, I disagree with you. Any discussions might be endless, not only about digital, if there are no criteria for the purpose of the discussion. In this case we do have a purpose. For instance de Charlus is looking for a DAC for his transport, I w...

You know, the more I look at the parts and construction of these things, the more impressed I am, for the price. I do like the look of that rubidium master clock too, again at an impressive price. Unfortunately, the closet dealer at which I can audit...

Such measurements give us ample information regarding the technical parameters of these machines, and if one is seeking to determine preeminence thus, then what you propose is not without merit. However, near-perfection in terms of measurable paramet...
