[quote user="coops"] … spent a week listening to the AMR, cd77 really wanted to like it, built solidly, but sound wise it is lackluster [/quote]I never hear word “Lackluster” and I looked it up in dictionary. Can you tell more about it? You are...

[quote user="Telstar"] About the number of hard disks you dont really need 6 just for audio. 2x1 TB drives would be more than adequate. [/quote]
One Die Walküre in 24/88 is 12G space on HD… An average concert is about 1.5-2G. I also have a tendency ...

Romy,I don't understand all hype around the Tidal service, like a saint graal or something, since it's not new at all (high resolution audio streaming). There are Qobuz (also a store) doing that for a few years. Most of the titles from them seems to ...

I am in the process of setting up a DAW to record fm broadcast. Recently I installed a M-Audio 2496 DAC in a computer to do the recording. I am using a Yamaha T-85 tuner. Prior to routing the i.c. cables through the DAC I had no background noise f...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]The question that I would ask what do not pile everything to PP2000? Why do you want to leave anything out of it. Do you have any problems with sound with some specific components?[/quote]My initial idea was to run just sen...

[quote user="Telstar"] If you are not using the Lynx DAC, how good it is really does not matter. Isolation from computer noise matters most IMO. While the Lynx is very good, I still believe you can get slightly better using a firewire interface as di...

A few months back a local audio guy advised me to use cPlay to pay files from my DAW. I installed it and was not too thrilled with it sound. Recently I updated to the new version:

I did today my first recording with Model 2. The configuration-wise it was very cool. The Pacific now in single-wire mode while it does A/B to 88/24 and the clock also outputs 88K. The single-wire mode is the reason why I moved from the Model One...

To my big surprise the Pacific tuned out to be an absolutely wonderful 16-bit DAC - the only one that migh compete with by Bidat. It does not go into max weigh of lowest end as some other best converters do but it has such an interesting and reach “e...

Yep, I was trying to evaluate the opportunities – it is not that I what to have a lot of space but I would like to add the space in random order. The external network drives wanted me to buy the identical drives in today prices, too expansive of I go...

I ran a series of the test for L – the listening distance and L+ a few and L- a few feet from two positions of right channel LF source. One position is the best location of the woofer from room décor stand point and another is “bay” location, where t...

I am not so wild about Stravinsky as piano composer. His is OK, but no Liszt and no Rachmaninoff. His sonatas and etudes are not so exiting in my view, Concerto for Piano and Wind Instruments is boring and his piano version of Petrushka is “not ...

The initials post was the body of email that Kostas sent to me and considering it’s format he presumed that I will me post it on my site. So, I did it (with his permission). I ran all those tracks once (some of them just a few seconds) and below is v...

There of course is a ton of garbage on the net about the sound quality of a DAW with WLAN vs gigabit ethernet, analog or digital power supplies, memory, manufacturer of hard drive, active ports.I have primarily only really invested in lowest noise an...

[quote user="drdna"] I hate to respond to this kind of comment, which is a simple logical failure, but, okay I will, since there is some news. Just to clear this up, simply because you have not had an issue, does not mean that an issue does not exist...

The last two weeks I have no preamp in house. I have great vintage EVS attenuators but I can’t use them with Melquiades as they talk with Milq’s input filters absolutely killing sound. The only way I can play music those days is only from my DAW,...

[quote user="tuga"] Do you have an idea about what could cause "ripped" CDs to sound bad and is there any way that these problems you mention could be solved or minimized? Did you also reach the same conclusions by "ripping" CDs with your DAW and pla...

This weekend I made an interesting experiment. I had a visitor yesterday. The gay is not what I call overly critical and overly demanding listener but he is not a typical Audio Moron and has from my point of view a proper and sane react...

I was perhaps a textbook even but it was what it was. Charles Dutoit lead today BSO with all-Russian program. It was Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto No. 1 featuring Kirill Gerstein. Ron della Cheisa announced the Dutoit on his podium, the orchestra take...

I bought a few Linn Records own recordings of Duisburg Philharmonic Orchestra, Scottish Chamber Orchestra and Dunedin Consort. They pushed them as “Studio Master” but they are WMA files – means the re-rendered compressed files – very sad.

[quote user="decoud"]Romy, have you ever considered trying with your three dacs the following experiment. You take a digital file and runit through each of the dacs. You then take the output and feed it back to your adc. You then take the resultant r...

Well, the issue you are talking about is very complex. You have many components in your signal chain, that contribute to the noise and signal quality,not only in power supply,but also in the signal chain ckts. The USB A/D converters have their own po...

The HD Radio for a first time in my own room. Hm…. I do not know what to say. I was listening my “far and ugly” WCRB station and it was “cleaner” in term of noise but it was very different sound. Something is not right with HD Radio and I canno...

Reading today about Mani’s Star Ground idea I was thinking that in context of playback we do not truly know the extent of “Star-ness”. If we do not know how each particular component use ground and we can’t not be 100% sure that our primaries and fro...

Last couple days I was playing with my new tape looped Placette, riming Pacific from Tape Rec output. How little a Moron need to be happy!!! Even I still have some technical issuers that I need to resolve using Pacific in and out of the tape loop but...

As I told before I picked recently a new interesting DAC and I got for it some AES/EBU cables. That made me to make the same Bidat vs. Lavry experiments only to use the AES/EBU interface with Lavry Gold. During those experiments I did not use S...
