Here's a computer playback approach that I though people might be interested in. In many ways, it's pretty much the leading edge of computer playback as far as I know.The idea here is to isolate the DAC as much as possible from the PC. All the audio ...

... to pass data unchanged.I've been ripping my CDs (using EAC and a Plextor CD-ROM drive) for about 4 years now. I use Foobar with ASIO (and now with WASAPI also) as the software player, loaded onto a Sony laptop. The soundcard is an RME FF800.Now t...

[quote user="ulf"] If you have no experience of HornResp I suggest that you download a copy and try it out. It is a very neat software that is useful when designing horn speakers. You can easily make simulations and get a decent result concerning fre...

[quote user="xandcg"]Amir,If you are looking for a transparent DAC and it could have a built-in preamp, you may want to take a look on:Merging + NadacNadac Player, same but a built-in music server (or something).I did not listened to them, but at lea...

[quote user="Amir"]do you use microrendu?[/quote]Hi Amir, yes I use a microRendu in my office system - it replaced the NAA I spoke about in the old post that you quoted. I think I'm one of the very few owners who hasn't been drawn in by the hyperbole...

[quote user="el`Ol"]Meanwhile I did the Steinberg Waveleb test myself and the difference between it and the most common players is immense.[/quote]
The pro editing software are lights miles ways in terms of sound quality from all any Foolbars that I...

Romy,
I've been storing all my digital music on a computer located fairly far
from the audio system for quite some time now. You've brought up a few
issues that are worth discussing.
1) Storing the digital stream - I assume you mean either (...

I downloaded your file and burned a DVD-A which includes 176/24 Reference Recordings HrX demo files they once made available.
I listened to these on my OPPO SE which has an info display that verifies the recording sample rate, and also...

in aiff format and listening to it in my very modest secondary rig. It's a PC with a two modules soundcard 24/96 capable, using Windows XP. For playback I'm using Foobar (I lost a copy of other more adequate software that I was sent on a computer cra...

Not the same thing at all, but the New Amarra software allows for auto sampling rate switching on itunes, I heard a dem last week in Munich , itunes and then switching in Amarra and the Amarra sounded way more interesting, Jonathan from Sonic studio...

Thank you mats for taking the time to post your experiences of the RBRX1.Please let me know if you ever need any assistance configuring the reciever for optimum reception. If you signup to our FM reciever user list you will get email notifications o...

Romy: BTW, I juts converted the Verdi from 24.88 to 16/44 and lost a huge amount of “sound”…Hmm... I've heard good conversions, and I've heard bad. I expect the digital gear/software has not been properly assessed for sonic quality.clark...

Very helpful primer. This might be a good place to elaborate a bit on approaching the task of crossover selection and testing for each driver, especially with respect to points, filter selection, steepness and other parameters one should consider. Fr...

Amir,You can try to connect Toslink cable to your MacBook headphone jack, if your model supports this. In my case, it made a huge difference vs the USB interface. And then you can compare it to Toslink output from your CEC. Unfortunately, different s...

I have been able to produce video files longer than 4Gb 7,5 Gb if I don't recall wrongly. Wav files shouldn't be any different. Are you using the All sound recorder XP? Maybe using other software it can be overcome or just changing some setting in it...

I heard a demonstration of the software ,versus standard itunes in Munich, I thought it a significant improvement, more texture to the sound, more space around individual components, and the auto sample rate sensing is useful....

Rakesh,I have purchased books and software over the years from a Japanese company called White Rabbit Press; delivery to the US was prompt and painless. They publish some Japanese language books and sell a wide variety of books from other publishers....

Sonic Studios 'soundblade ' is the most transparent software I have 'heard' Wavelab is also very good and much cheaper. If you use Macs you might try Sonic's 'Amarra'it is the first of a plethora of similarly based players, improves on standard itune...

Romy Quit being so diplomatic and tell us what you really think..... Incidentally, I tried the Meitner Ma-1 . It is a great dac in many ways but I think it still needs more software development as it sound quite different depending on what inp...

Romy Your file was burned in wave format you provided as-is. It was never processed by the Korg. I conducted my test to evaluate the sound of 176/24 files on my system. These files came from you, Reference Recording and my Korg and all can coexist un...

One of my favorite sections here has been down for a while. Did it get Covid19, is the interface broken or have the sources incorporated link breaking software?...
|
So I just need to click "open files" I add all the ones into a given work and the program plays them in a row. Probably sound quality is not near of what you get from your software, but considering how handicapped is the system I use, I really don't ...

[quote user="manisandher"] This is very interesting and something that I have not noticed. Because I cannot double the clock frequency going into the Weiss AFI1, I have tended to ignore playing/recording 4fs files. But, I've kept the second AES/E...

Sorry wrong attachment but as your software does not allow for editting, I can't be bothered to link to the correct one. Suffice to say - plenty of second harmonic and nasty break up modes. ...

I only heard such a quadrophonic system with a special recording, no idea what the conversion software can do for stereo basis broadening of conventional stereo recordings, but might be worth a try (with the Tannoys as rears).http://www.andreavonsali...

[quote user="anthony"]Have a look at this.[/quote]Interesting product! I've just bought Arta Box for impedance measurement, but this has more features!I'll check with my friend who is helping me with modeling if this will be enough to get all paramet...

Allo Romy,Do you not think it is time to discuss your "evaluation criteria"? Have we not approached the entire subject backwards for too long? I have to say, on the mechanical side at least (and, particularly, on every piece of s...

[quote user="morricab"] Now my biggest problem with tone from horns comes from the "cupped hands" horn effect, which is really nothing more than the resonances fromt he horn itself. [/quote]The "cupped hands" is not the characteristics of horn a topo...
