People argue out there if a DAC need to do upsampling. I usually do not like the upsampling DAC and always prefer, or even insist to play in whatever format the source is. Some DACs do not ask you and upsample the incoming stream to 2x and higher ...

I think a lot of it had to do with Playback designs( there was a legal battle between them and the not so honourable Tinn man) and therefore to under cut on the price to take sales away from them. I found this accidentally while researching Playba...

My journey with computer audio offers me reason to be optimistic. I think it is like everything else in the audio chain. Everything counts. Keep it as simple as possible. The power for every consumer is important. Keep the number of parts and transfo...

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...

Interesting that problems Harley isolated in this case (pits and lands; turntable) were physical/mechanical, utimately "analog", in that sense. I'm glad someone has stayed after it, but not sure how to put this revelation to work to get better Music ...

I do not know why people are fighting, arguing and spend money and time in search and improving of for better sources for audio playbacks. I listen to edgy and mechanical digital, to amorphous and temporarily tapes, to the tacky and fastidious ...

Thanks for the wise advice Romy. I'm curious to know if you have ever recorded those broadcasted live events. I guess you've done for sure but I'd like to know if you've found open reel, cassette, CD-R or any other recording method most suitable...

It has been changed. Looking at the extend of my record collection, the efforts I went with my TT setup and my “End of the Life Phonostage” it would be hardly expected from me to be somebody else a die-hard vinyl dude but it is what it is. Those feel...

[quote user="Steradian"] One area where standards have failed is in HDTV. I have no sympathy for the morons who decided to have 2 standards, 720p and 1080i. It is clear they prostrated themselves to corporate bribery to allow such to be called ...

Do not acquire an audio elements for your playback before you are able to identify what exactly wrong with your current element and which specific property of your current element’ performance do not satisfy you. There is a huge army of Morons ™ out ...

Jessie was very right talking about therapeutic influence of audio projects.
I do not know why buy I feel very much attached and really feel personally the various micro events that I are going on with my current 6-channel Supper Milq project. ...

I was playing lately with the Single-stage Melq and the DHT amp driving MF channel. It turned out that the Sun Audio VT-2A3 was very simple kit and it 2-3 hours to make it working. There is a lot in this kit that I do not like and some revisions will...

I kind of disagree with Adrian. The wire, the coupling caps, the cathode resistors and many other things are superbly important but it is after the strategic topology is settled. In my view caps, resistor, wire and other things are responsible for th...

I think you will only be able to decide about this after listening to some operas or other video-audio through the big system. The analog output of the video player may be good enough for the purpose, or it may sound terrible through the Milqs/Macon...

This subject of prices in High-End Audio is obviously endless. We can complain for years blaming the $80.000 for a pair of amplifiers, $42.000 for DACs, $29.000 for phonocorrector, 125.000 for pair of loudspeakers, $17.000 for CD transpor...
