If you want to keep it really simple just buy an Oppo BDP-83SE ($800) and use its two-channel audio analog outs to an amp with volume controls. All the setup features you need are in the Oppo including the downmix to 2.0.A new projector will run you ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]The sound of Vienna is sliding off tonality like it would do with a record playing that has problems with disc stability.[/quote]In another thread on binaural beats, you said, "... next to my Lavry Gold I notices that Pacif...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"][Lavry] now is 25 years older and shall be 25 years more cynical <...> When he made his Gold 924 he trumpeted his define al, over the world and there was a reason for it - it WAS great design. Now with new DAC one wo...

Dear Romy, it is possible. I would need to obtain some cables to make the connection between my Sansui TU-X1 and Lavry Blue ADC. Also, I do not have access yet to broadband so till then recordings could be to CDR and then I could post the...

OK, it now looks like my dive in the world of PC is over and I pretty much know where I am staying. A well of so ago I was completely ignorant about the subject but now I could at least to understand what the common buzz-worlds means and able to ask ...

Dear Romy,K-Stereo receives a digital data feed, performs a bit-rate conversion in preparation for internal processing, then as a last step optionally performs dither for the reduced word length digital output. The machine contains an internal ...

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 ...

Yes, I know about the 18dB click, the question is what it is. Do they turn an extra gain stage from 18dB to 24dB? Highly unlikely! Those SS circuits have a lot of gain and a lot of feedback to manage the 6dB is very much not a problem for them. I was...

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...

Well, I have to admit that the stupendous sensitivity that Sansui TU-1X have after the Stereo Surgeons tune up to use the TU-1X is kind of complicated. With 0.8mkV this tuner picks the noise that my DACs radiate. I staffed all wholes of the Sansui’s ...

I made today an experiment trying to record LP. I know people backup LP to digital for dozens years and claim good results. I do not back up my best records to digital. I have no need – if I have to play a record then I play record. However, there ar...

[quote user="coops"] I did hear a rumour that the Berkeley boys were going to make a new 'model III' but Mike Ritter quashed that particular rumour…[/quote]
I did not hear this rumor but if I did I would not give to it much credit. With all cr...

I put the Model 2 today in the system and configured my typical operation mode. I got another pleasant surprise. It looks like the Model One and Two has different DC offset pattern. Both use digital offset and both are not defeatable. Here is where L...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Very briefly answering you question, this it is not in the frame of the thread.
Lavry’s SPIDIF interface is not good. Since the only digital cable that I accept was Synopsis, I was trying to use it with Lavry. For whateve...

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...
|

OK, after much consideration, recording and listening I made a number a final concussion about the flavors of Pacific Microsonics and Lavry Gold and now I have selected which AD/DA will be serving my FM recording. I offer for you an opportunity to se...

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...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Hm, interesting. The problem might be in ADC, I/O cared, Recorder or DAC. When you do the experiment do you record the file? If so then you might plug ADC directly into DAC. Might your problem be with cloaking? I do know wh...

Here is a good Rohde & Schwarz EU-6201 illustration. This is a station not truly DX but a station that is in very difficult reception environment. I never was able to get it clear from my location. Even the DX champion Yamaha T-85 in its ultra na...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] Well, I figured out – if digital is dead then I need to put the heavy artillery in the fight I begin to spin records. With my TT setup I have an interesting tool - I run my input-choke powered “End of the Life” Phonostage ...

People asked me: Romy why don’t you try to transfer some analog to digital and see what happen. I was queries myself and I decided to try tonight.
Whatever I did was in a way half-ass but I was interested in “as is” result. Although the attem...

Without completely understanding the post, I listened to all the samples (which by the way, will play immediately without doing anything if you have a mac...oops!). I first ran the files through my main system (there is a laptop + DAC associated with...

I sound as moronic as it could be but I found myself straggling with new thing. I am experimenting now with a new AD/DA processor in my system and to my big surprise my addiction to the Synopsis digital cables is nailing me down.
As now I have 4 AES...

Hi Romy[quote user="Romy the Cat"]
... I decided to listen my native feline instincts and go with them. So, decided to buy a Lavry’s Gold AD122. ....Now, the biggest problem remains what digital I/O PC interface to use after the Lavry’s digital...

[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...

While I, waken up by Mani’s idea to us MP as the only DAC, was playing with new Pacific I have researched deeper the HDCD subject in the BSO recordings. Mark Donahu, from AudioMirror with his slightly patronizing attitude might consider himself a...

[quote user="peter foster"] I would probably start testing using TU-X1 FM OUTPUT (FIXED) as a first option. [/quote]
If you have the FIXED output then it is all “tweaking” that you need to do. Bothe of my TU-X1 were export version and both outputs w...
