    New MSB Cascade DAC

    What I was trying to say is can you make the new architecture for your XMOS fit on a card like USB so that any server, be it home made could benefit.

    New Dedicated Listening Room

    I have a line of people that want to harvest the deer. Most of my friends would want to see a chicken meat process system. My wife and her friends would probably join PETA . I already have to shred a whole cooked chicken for her. I don't want to raise goat, sheep or pig as it would...

    New MSB Cascade DAC

    A lot of DAC use a JCat USB card. Do you have an option for that? Maybe those DAC are lower cost than what a Taiko owner would purchase. Either way, if you parented the output and input cards, you could impact the industry as a manufacturer for other companies to use the technology.

    BACCH-SP: The future of high-end audio? Yes.

    Any of you have your BACCH yet. Well. How is vinyl through it. Is it digital sounding? Is it analog sounding?

    DAC architecture reimagined - the Cascade DAC

    How many manufacturer really have trade in. And what do you get. Usually about 50%???. It seems to me most people sell something old and buy new. Maybe that is because they are changing brands. I don't know too many people that stick with what they have. There always seems to be the itch to...

    Mafi Uni Ash. Engineered. They pitch the oll no VOC. My wife goes for that stuff. She treats her home furnishings like we treat audio. If its high quality and expensive, it has to be good. I currently have Carlisle wide plank. 7", 5", 3" wide. Many boards are up to 16 feet long. Cost...

    David Laboga Expression USB - reviews “significantly” beat all other top cables

    I had the FTA. Still have it on a shelf. If does draw attention to itself. But after a while its too much. I want to turn it down. I ended up with an Intona. About a $1200 model. Better all around. And no fatigue. Not bright at all. But also not heavy or dark. Its just a good...

    New Dedicated Listening Room

    I'm not worried about neighbors. My renters are 40 feet away in a separate building. My neighbors are maybe 300 feet away. I have 5 acres. I intend to get subs. I want to avoid bass issues. I wonder if I can get a horn bass? My god. 1000 feet of wood floors is $25,000. I need to...

    What are the Top Horn Speakers in the World Today? Vox Olympian vs Avantgarde Trio vs ???

    A friend said they might be EAW. Local brand. There is a record store on Vashon Island. That is where they are set up. The store just changed ownership. Pretty small. They need a new batch of media. Most records were a couple bucks. Then I found a nice Kinks and it was $50. Broke my heart.

    DAC architecture reimagined - the Cascade DAC

    The video tell little about the new DAC. Pretty high level. But it does show that they case work and layout appear excellent. The basic foundation looks superb. What we don't really know is what the internal software is all about. My perceptions are that the software can make a great...

    New Dedicated Listening Room

    Thats about what I want to do. I most likely will use the room above. Its still 600 feet. About 22 x 25. I will brace the floor. I will probably use green glue and screw to attach a second skin to the first. I doubt I will tear down the drywall in the existing room. Not sure yet.
