New active crossover boards always sound like hell to me, and get better over about a minute. -- mazurek mazurek's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1455 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29025 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
[SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Re: Transporter V Lavry10
Please, if anyone is actually considering investing in a power cable, look at the actual commercial line filters at mouser.com. For example, I use a schurter power entry line filter in my new amps, it has an LRC filter to attenuate high frequencies. All the schurter filters have frequency response plots in their data sheets. Seems like a much better use of money than shooting in the dark buying a fancy cable that has either an unknown complex impedence as its mechanism, or no mechanism for working at all. -- mazurek mazurek's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1455 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28369 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles

Parts express sells line level attenuators, look at them if you are in the US -- mazurek ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
[SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Re: digital output format?
Thanks for the info everyone. Looks like I can be sure that no resolution is being lost relative to the original when I equalize it. (My calculator says for a 24 bit signal, I've got 48dB of headroom before I lose resolution). I agree with quadguy, there is such a noticable improvement in bass response that the equalizer is definetely worth it. The expensive Tact room correction gear has been raved about by audiophiles, but even its 1500 dollar model doesn't have phase correction. I spent all my money on the dac so I'll have to trust the behringer. I don't know if the benchmark is any different than any high quality dac, but its jitter immunity insulates me from high end transport voodoo, and its one component I know I don't need to upgrade. Thanks for the explanation of the dither. I agree with you pfarrell after the dac I try to keep it as simple as possible. I use the preamp in bypass mode, and have super short interconnects. -- mazurek ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
[SlimDevices: Audiophiles] digital output format?
I am sending the output of the squeezebox to a behringer digital equalizer to a benchmark dac. I'd like to make sure I am getting the best possible quality. Is the digital output of the squeezebox always 24 bit resolution, or does it depend on the source file? I think the behringer uses the input format as the output format, so it would make sense that starting with 24 bits would be better before equalization. Also the equalizer has a dithering setting, should this be on or off with the squeezebox output? -- mazurek ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
