I use to have IDAT-44 and IDAT-M (automobile version). I did not found them interesting, though they were not stock versions. Admittedly all Museatex stuff kind of “need work”, and even the stock Bidat was quite dead DAC.
It is still not know why t...

It is always surprised me why audio people never did what FM people did. FM people crated a site: http://www.FmTunerInfo.com where they enumerated in very consistent format all available FM tuners (with exemption of some pro tuners and som...

Thank you. This is something that I can look into locally, so that's great. Romy, does your Bidat have the upgrades that John Wright speaks of above, or is it virgin, so to speak? If the latter, do you find such claims - with upgrades, "the best DAC ...

I do suggest to re-read my post above where I stated that Pacific has remarkably similar sound to Bidat. In Bidat there is one quality that sets it apart from any other converters out there – the Bidat’s dynamic bursts are orders of magnitude less an...

Well, I finally found and implemented a digital front end that I can live with. I have been so cynical about digital up to now that I have kept and used an old, cheap Sony player (albeit one actually made in Japan...) because up to now it seeme...

[quote user="miab"]Yes the Bidat does lock 48khz very well and so does the Idat-m. Something even more suprising and coming from someone that knows these dacs very well is that on a few samples of Bidat they even lock at 96khz! Alas I am not so l...

Interesting discussion. I am now thinking of John Wright, the guy who mods the (old...) Museatex DACs to get the best sound overall that I've heard from digital sources. Sure, he has his patent approach to deciphering digital, but John has always sa...

John Wright told me early on that he used Moray James cable while developing his DACs. If you check back to the start of this thread you will see that it's taken me quite a while to finally put Moray James SPDIF cable (RCA/RCA) between my Accustic Ar...

It has been 1 year since I started working with the ML2s with all new tubes installed. The ML2s have been, by far, the biggest step I have taken in hi-fi in 45 years, and the "upgrades" I have done since the ML2s have necessarily been in a...

[quote user="Paul S"] a maxed/modded Museatex iDAT-44+ DAC (adapted for battery power; no AC!)[/quote]
Yes, Paul it is good that you remind me it as I have been thinking about it for a few years and never put my hands on it. I am not a bit fun of ba...

I do not know. People say a lot of words about jitter and speculate a lot about the topic. I never heard from anyone any real definition how a high level of jitter sounds in realty. I heard 4 (!!!!) complete contradictory descriptions how high level ...

The fact that it's taken me this long to notice shows how little I care, but I did find it "of interest" to (finally) note that the iDAT has "8X oversampling, intelligent filter":

Believe me, however, I never ...

Recently I tested the waters of computer audio. I've been using a Sony SCD-1 transport / Museatex Bidat DAC combo for digital playback. It has been a source of enjoyment for years. My goals for trying network-based music files were:- reduce physic...

Hi,[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I heard 4 (!!!!) complete contradictory descriptions how high level of jitter manifest itself subjectively – interesting that they all derived from the engineers whose credibility is very high (not juts the audio-tweaker...

The "Super
Mod"
The Bidat was originally designed with 3 separate crystal-based voltage controlled
oscillators. This was unique because we had the crystals specially made to be
'pull-able' ...
