Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Beresford DAC ... Who uses one and how good is it really ?
Another happy Beresford user here. IME it offers a huge improvement over the SB. I originally used it with an SB3, but it was relegated to the bedroom system along with the SB3 after I upgraded to an SB+. I have recently had the dac upgraded by Stan to mark 6/4 and now prefer the SB+ with Beresford to the SB+'s own analogue outputs. I have also found that the Maplin PS improves things with 6/4. The new version looks interesting as the pre-outs are supposed to be much improved (the existing version direct to power amp sounds a bit dull/veiled in my system). -- john4456 john4456's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=23008 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=57619 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Advice on pro studio monitor vs consumer hifi amp + speakers
Dynaudio MC15 or most of the Dynaudio Pro gears are very good for the price, even better although more expensive ATC gears from SCM20A and above, Adams Speaker are very good too. -- bidule bidule's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15337 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=58179 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] 24/96 DVD Music
It depends a bit on specific dvds, by many have an uncompressed PCM stream, some at 24/48 many at 24/96. I use a program called dvdaudioextractor. It handles PCM, Dolby, DTS etc, and will rip to wav, or flac -- DCtoDaylight Audiophile wish list: Zero Distortion, Infinite Signal to Noise Ratio, and a Bandwidth from DC to Daylight DCtoDaylight's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7284 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=58209 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Advice on pro studio monitor vs consumer hifi amp + speakers
Studio gear can be fatiguing after a while but very impressive initially - you really have to try them in your own room. Great for near field listening (which is what they are designed for). Also depends what you listen to and your tastes in speakers. No question some active speakers are tremendous performers. The Adam Gamma in particular. Or the Harbeth M40.1 active's. Sorry just re read your target speaker group. Hmm try some Quad 12L active's - you might find them abit easier on the ear. Personally I don't care for uber revealing speakers (Pro Monitors). They just get tiring to my ears. -- tricka Transporter +/- Lavry DA 10 - LFD Zero - Harbeth C7 es3's Harbethed and lovin it tricka's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11614 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=58179 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles

Actually studio monitors are designed to be very revealing and suitable for very long extended listening - that's what they are used for! But - and it is a big but - the listening room needs to be properly acoustically treated as it would be in a studio/control room/mastering suite. In a typical domestic setting they CAN be fatiguing. -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...SB3+Stontronics PSU - Altmann JISCO/UPCI - TACT 2.2X (Linear PSU) + Good Vibrations S/W - MF Triplethreat(Audiocom full mods)- Linn 5103 - Aktiv 5.1 system (6x LK140's, ESPEK/TRIKAN/KATAN/SEIZMIK 10.5), Townsend Supertweeters, Kimber Chord cables Outdoors: Boombox+Creative Sub (If I remember to turn it on...)
