[quote user="oxric"]However, a new UK venture seems to have taken on board most of the criteria that I had set myself and come up with an off-the-shelf solution. Please see below:http://www.itemaudio.co.uk/windows_audio_transport.htmlI am however dau...

With my FM recordings and with my few other sources to get digital uncompressed files I come to the situation that I need to rearrange the data stoppage for my Digital Audio Workstation (hate the word DAW but it is what they use). I have currently ar...

Romy,You say that the digital read from your transport is better than the multiple reads of CD-Rom with EAC software?Thats interesting!!! It means that it is better to read once in a 'good' way than ten times to read garbage and average it.So, all th...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] Whoever follows the Pacific Microsonics threads, or whoever use Pacific know that both Models one and two have an interesting idiosyncrasy: at maximum sampling rate, when Pacific runs in dual-wire mode, the clock runs at ...

Well, it happened with me, one of my HH of my DAW, or as they call it “music server”, went down. It does not recognize by BIOS anymore, suck, it would be costly to recover data from there. Partially the most important f...

No, I do not use external clock as I have only one digital devise
in case of recording. When I record I use Pacific or Lavry internal clock as
master and I always slave Lynx to my A/D. I use to run it independent and it
was fine but then last ye...

OK, no one argue that FM is good BUT the cost and complexity to record doe FM is quite high. It look like that it might not be more simple – to turn your tuner, to turn your A/D, to tune your DAW and to record whatever you wish. Well, l it is surpris...

I see, I did not understood what you said as I was under impression that ANY I/O clocks must be conventionally 75Ohm terminated. Sure, Lynx id 75R terminated. The page 24 …

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 (...

It looks like you're looking at the right brands for ADC. It seems
likely to me that getting proper A/D conversion is as hard as or harder
than getting proper D/A conversion. I'm currently shopping for a good
A/D converter for a number of purposes...

Hi Romy[quote user="Romy the Cat"]
... I decided to listen my native feline instincts and go with them. So, decided to buy a Lavry’s Gold AD122. ....Now, the biggest problem remains what digital I/O PC interface to use after the Lavry’s digital...

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 thos...

[quote user="manisandher"] The latest firmware 'fixes' this issue. The AFI1 can now work in dual-wire mode at half or full audiorate clock frequencies. [/quote]
Very good. I am impressed with Daniel’s responsiveness. I wonder how many people ...

Last couple month when I rebooted my DAW it has difficult time to start up; it looks like motherboard is going and bias sometime during boot does not see hardware. Usually with 30 min and 10-60 automatic recursive attempts the machine boots and t...

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:

Regarding the Lynx post above, I thought you'd be doing the A/D to rip
your FM broadcasts. My bad. I should have read more
carefully.
Nevertheless, if you have the Lavry DAC, what I'd do (and what I've
done) is get yourself a mother...

As a new concert season is coming up with BSO opening night next week I was sprucing up my recording studio. The machine is 3MHz with 2G memory – plenty run SoundLab5. The SoundLab just record and play, I do absolutely nothing else in this software, ...

In continuation to the "A new round of Pacific’s DAC listening" post.... I have a number of revisions of this little contest between two DACs in this thread and in other threads. In all of them the Lavry 924 has a little edge over Pacific Microso...

[quote user="Telstar"] Because those 20 bit were true 20 bits No, it won't do true 24 bit ladder, according to the specs on their website. Nonetheless it can be good. At least it is sure that it will accept 24/174.6 format. But I I'm pretty sure that...

I have some “issues” with the 176.4kHz idea, particularly knowing the most of the RR recordings were not recorded in 176.4kHz. I am glad that they did not go for X48K format but stuck with X44 (I more like the Linn’s 88.2KHz “Studio Masters” idea). S...

I would be interested to hear your reaction to the same CD ripped
properly on a CD-ROM drive rather than recorded from SPDIF stream. If
your transport is VERY good, they should be equivalent... but on
damaged discs, or with bad transports, the err...

Looking what we do with our players, transports, A/D processors, D/D processors , D/A processors, externals clocks, cables, mass storages I find that it is all so bogus and so irrational. To my surprise I do not see anybody does what I wo...

I wonder how myth in all those digital gismos and how little what we considering in digital is obvious and self-explanatory in reality has not relation to Sound. Also, how much those people with who just learned how to solder and let their blind (and...
