    Replace HT processor with multiple DACS

    Has anyone replaced their HT receiver/processor with 3 or 4 DACs for 5.1/7.1? I have an Anthem pre/pro, which is OK but doesn't sound as good as my 2-channel DAC. I'd like to take out the Anthem altogether and run digital signals for 5.1 sound directly from my Oppo 203 player into 3 DACs for...

    MPD-5 play 4x DSD?

    Do the Playback Designs MPS-5 and MPD-5 support native 4x DSD when using the USB-XIII interface? On the PD web site, they say the 5-series supports only 2x DSD. But the USB-XIII manual is unclear but seams to suggest it can be used with the 5-series to play [native?] 4x DSD on the 5-series...

    Shipping LPs

    What's the best way to safely pack and ship a large number of records to buyers? I am thinking about selling ~350 LPs that may get divided into small or large groups of LPs with the sale. For example, the 100 Analogue Productions Fantasy jazz 45s will hopefully sell as a package. How many per...

    Asynchronous USB DAC "accessories"

    Looking for forum advice to avoid going down an audiophile rabbit hole. It is my understanding that asynchronous USB DACs, such as the Playback Designs DAC, are agnostic as to the type of signal they receive and to upstream equipment (such as cables, transport, USB clocking etc.) because they...

    JRiver now converting PCM to DSD

    The latest JRiver lets you convert your PCM files to DSD or 2xDSD. They have also talked about maybe doing this conversion on the fly during playback. Not certain whether this is a good thing, since PD already converts PCM to 2xDSD internally with what I assume is a better algorithm. But will...
