    Suggestions for a new DAC

    Looks like the only dealer for Weis is in Toronto, a 15 hour drive from me. I've turned the equalizer off on my RME dac and did the firmware update. After awhile I've adapted to it. I did an AI search for the most transparent DAC and was surprised when the search returned the RME ADI dac. Right...

    Can digital get to vinyl sound and at what price?

    Considering that most if not all vinyl lps are cut from digital masters, you may be beating a dead horse.

    Anyone else find video reviews annoying?

    I don't even bother. I can't judge fairly listening to audio equipment in a dealers showroom, let alone through my laptop. It's got to be integrated into my system.

    Suggestions for a new DAC

    I did a firmware update on the RME ADI-2 and no longer have to adjust the EQ. I did bring home a Pro-ject DAC Box RS2 for a demo on my system and found that my RME actually sounded better. I think it's more suited to the Khorns. The DAC Box had a slightly bigger sound stage however the mid-range...

    Can digital get to vinyl sound and at what price?

    I've talked to a number of people regarding vinyl vs digital. Some say vinyl is better, Some say digital. I usually listen to streamed music but I have over 400 recording that have been ripped from CDs I've previously owned. Some are good, some bad, and some fantastic. I also have some high...

    Suggestions for a new DAC

    Funny you should mention Nashville. My wife was saying the other day that we should take a drive and listen to some country music. I'm ok with country as long as the theme is not drinking and truck driving. Maybe on the way I can stop off at Western Electric and listen to their $100,000 8 300B...

    Suggestions for a new DAC

    I have a AudioQuest Cobalt USB dac and plugged it into the PC I use for streaming and plugged my headphones into the Cobalt. It sounded fine. I'm going to try a factory reset on the dac.

    Suggestions for a new DAC

    I'm wondering why the Rockna uses an FPGA chip for it's master clock when there are so many audio clock chips available. Maybe none meet their requirements. I own an Xilinx 7 FPGA development board and can program it to output a square wave clock signal of any frequency up to 10 mb/s In fact if...

    Suggestions for a new DAC

    The REM is a complicated DAC. So many settings besides the Equalizer, I may have to read the manual (book) again and see if a setting is askew. I had it at a audio dealer and he was playing around with it. Maybe it needs a factory reset. I've listened to the Chord DACs and find them...

    Suggestions for a new DAC

    I currently have a RME ADI-2 DAC FS in my system and would like to upgrade. The RME plays high quality recordings very well however some recordings are not up to par. It has a built in equalizer with 20 presets and I find myself continuously adjusting the EQ. I'd like to hear about what people...
