[quote user="miab"]Romy, You have mentioned somewhere in the Bidat-Lavry thread about the Bidat being a 20 bit dac but throws out 4 bits (quote below). But, you have also stated that you play 20/44.1 files from your pc set-up into the Bidat and ...

Though my new updated Bidat is too fresh but considering that I know very well how the Nichicon KZ progress with sound I think I can make some preliminary observations about the revised sound of my Bidat.
The change was not a large, less than I expe...

[quote user="Telstar"] Out of curiosity, how much does a Bidat costs nowadays and the Wright mods?[/quote]
This is very interesting question and I had a conversation with John Wright about it a few days ago. He asked me the same question: what the B...

[quote user="miab"] Do you think the Bidat will be back before the move for impressions on the mods? It might be hard to tell what/if the mods make a difference in a positive directions if you throw a whole new room into it. Your experimental control...

While I was moving in to my new home John Wight undertook my Bidat for his new update. Up to now I did not have playback properly performing but the last 2-3 weeks I feel that my playback is back. Again, whatever I lien now has only upperbass horn a...

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...

I wonder if you're doing your listening with the Bidat using its volume pot or you're using only vinyl with your phono correctors or maybe the ET-T-834 EAR using its volume pot. Maybe the Melquiades has its own attenuators. I'll be glad to know how y...

I use now a voltage divider sitting at the Melquiades’s inputs (The older, ‘better” version of EVS attenuators). As the sources I use whatever: CD, LP, Tuner…. it does not mater. Currently I’m working (or tying to force myself working) on an interest...

I need to add another output to my BiDat and I was wondering if there is anything special that I have to do. I really don't want to send it to John for three months just to be able to add another output for headphone amplifier.Thank you....

Hi Romy,How about expanding the D-War and comparing the CEC transport and a PC feeding the Bidat? It should not be that difficult to rip a few CD's onto a PC. I would LOVE to hear the comparison. Using a PC would have a few advantages if the sound is...

[quote user="TonyB"]Re: Pity[/quote]
I was not looking for the card to do any buffering; quite opposite I was looking for ONLY I/O interface with no logic aboard. To use PC as the music CD server? What for? It might be a WAV files server, but only t...

Before announcing Lavry complete failure against Bidat when Lavry was driven by a CD transport I have to make a very important comment: in my case the transport was not a regular transport but the CEC-TL0, a know son of a digital bitch.
I know quit...

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...

I admit I have too much fun lately with DACs. Whatever it is, my beloved 16bit DAC is back from the John Wright’s face lift. It is a third time when John does this specific Bidat. Interestingly that even John admits that for whatever reasons this uni...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]2) Very smartly rolled off HF. Bidat is not the most advanced HF performer but any other DAC that I heard (you can put here a long list of the best DACs you know off) are too bright for my taste. I do feel ...

I do not know, Paul. I had iDAT 44 and iDAT-M and both of them did not impress me. I think they are all different units. They all use the same iDAT adoptive algorithm (?) but how it is implemented and what are in the rest of those units I do not know...

Yep, Telstar. The 1547 was use in Sony and Teac CD players and believe the first CD-SACD machines used that chip. I know very little about those chips and have none of my personal experience to deal with all of it. The reasons why I brought it up bec...
