    Esoteric to Bricasti?

    I can't comment on Esoteric or your Linux compatibility question. Bricasti products are top notch, sound really good and come with exemplary customer service. I have owned the M1 DAC for a number of years and recently upgraded to the M1S2 and purchased the M20 Preamp and I couldn't be happier...

    Buying Advice Melco Vs Antipodes

    I have a Pink Faun modified Melco S100 powered by Farad power supplies. The Melco S10 is probably the same as the S100 but with a beefier power supply to match. Power Supplies make a difference. I have a Melco server in conjunction with the S100. You can see why, my vote would be for the Melco.

    EMI/RFI/Noise Testing of Power Conditioners and Power Cables

    A few months ago, I took on the task of trying to get my EMI noise down to the low teens or single digits. I discovered that my PS Audio P10 was "noisy", and my P5 was even "nosier". The Torus AVR was "noisy" and the Torus MAX and BIT-15 even "noisier". ..... BUT... when I powered a PS Audio...

    Delivery of Rosso Fiorentino Siena 2 - Exceptional System!

    A purposefully designed room is quite a treat. I spotted a ASR Emitter II and a Bricasti DAC in there as well. Top notch stuff. Thanks for sharing.

    Melco S100 audiophile switch

    I have also used the 100MbE port without any issues. But i did experience the dreaded "audio files loading slowly" message when i tried to go exclusively on 100MB connections. Though the message only appears when i play files 352k and DSD 128 and up. Putting the NUC and Melco Server back to...

    Deqx

    I actually sold the DEQX and my system has evolved quite a bit to say the least. Almost everything is new except for my ASR Emitter II. The DEQX is a very powerful tool and can do wonders. My advise to you.....if you can, take your speakers outside to take measurements it will be an eye opener...

    Totaldac Reference D1

    I have been trying out the MUTEC USB Smart clock and it provided some improvement on what was already very good sound. Vincent has also located a Totaldac Reclocker for me and i can't wait to try it out. Over the next month or so I will be experimenting on three scenerios:- 1)...

    Totaldac Reference D1

    I overlooked the fact that my digital cable is AES and the U-clock only has SPIDF :( I have since set my sites on the Lamipzator USB transport. It seems interesting. Does anyone here have any experience with it?

    Totaldac Reference D1

    Has anyone ever tried using the dCS Puccini U-Clock as a USB to SPDIF converter on a Totaldac? I'm engulfed by the idea that, I haven't unlocked the true potential of the D1-Six until I separate my PC from the D1-Six. If anybody has a lead on a used Totaldac reclocker I would be interested...

    Thanks for the advise. I will look to add the reclocker to the D1-Six.

    Totaldac Reference D1

    Just wondering if anyone is using a USB converter with their Totaldac. I don't have the Totaldac server or Totaldac reclocker, but wondering if a USB converter or a Totaldac reclocker will bring significant improvements. I will probably be on the hunt for a used Totaldac reclocker since the...

    Totaldac Reference D1

    So far I have only tinkered with PCM, & it sounds glorious! I tried DSD just to make sure it works. One glitch that occurre more than twice while playing DSD was 1-2 second dropouts. I mentioned this to Vincent, & he mentioned that the problem could lie on my computers end and not the Totaldac...

    Totaldac Reference D1

    The sound now has more presence with a very black/quiet background, greater pinpoint accuracy and tons of ambient details, that were hard to hear before (but there) with my previous DAC. The one thing that really gets me giggling with joy is the very precise and natural presentation without...

    Totaldac Reference D1

    Guess what came in yesterday........ The D1- Six is unbelievably good! I must admit that I had my reservations but any fears have been put to rest. It's only been one day and it clearly meets and exceeds my expectations. I'm sure it only gets better with time. Thanks to everyone here for the...

    Totaldac Reference D1

    how does the import tax/duty work? FedEx called and asked for my "importer id#" which ended up being my social. I'm assuming they needed that to prepare sending me a tax bill. Can somebody enlighten me as to how the taxes/duty fee's work with FedEx when purchasing items from overseas?

    Totaldac Reference D1

    Unfortunately i cannot go with a Totaldac Server. I use a CAPS ZUMA with Windows7, because i use Acourate DSP. I know this is not the thread to talk about DSP but if you haven't tried Acourate, you owe it to yourself to contact Uli and try it for free.

    I got the DSD option and was wondering if PCM or DSD is preferred or what others are enjoying better than the other.
