[SlimDevices: Touch] Suggestions for seakers and amp to work with touch

2012-10-20 Thread ptgrav

Hello all,
I have a touch working with an 18 year old denon amp and speakers which
even after this time sound reasonably good. But after 18 years I think
speakers and amps may have moved on a small bit :O) so I am looking at
upgrading. I have a budget of £600 for both. I was thinking Marantz
PM6004 and Dali Zensor 1's.

Any opinions and/or suggestions greatfully recieved.

Thanks

Pete

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Announce: Enhanced Digital Output app - USB Dac and 192k Digital Ouput

2012-10-20 Thread stedes

Hi guys,

Thank you Triode for all your work mate! Rumour has it that you live in
Sydney?

I've been testing the app with SBT into a Classe CP-800 preamp/DAC
(capable up to 96 with USB and 192 with SP/DIF):

- No issues with USB output. No hub needed and all frequencies/files
work fine. Sound quality definitely up from using USB from my PC or
MacBook with high res files

- When using Coaxial SP/DIF all good up to 96KHz. 192KHz files--> Classe
displays correct sampling rate but sound is distorted. I can hear the
song playing but it's accompanied by what can be described as high
frequency "Digital"noise.

If anyone has similar components or has any ideas regarding a fix it
would appreciated. 192 files are a bit scarse in my library but I have
some albums in both 192 and 96KHz and I'm really wanting to see whether
I can tell any difference in these at all...

Don't be so silly. "Burn in" is a term used for long term reliability
and failure analysis of components and component equipment. The sound
won't change, just your perception of it.

What is digital glare? Up there with colour and ambience?

Enable ssh (settings, advanced settings, remote access) then connect to
the device and cat /proc/asound/cards - is yours there?  If so what does
/proc/asound//stream0 says?

Looking around at what is available in your price range, I don't think I
can beat your original choices. I had considered the NAD 326 BEE, but I
suspect the highs may be a bit too strident and fatiguing (and the
aesthetics of the Nad don't appeal so much). I also thought about the
Peachtree Decco 65, but that blows your budget.  The stereophile review
and measurements of the Dali Zenzor 1s look encouraging.

Hello Dsdreamer,
I had considered the nad but the reviews on the Marantz all agree that
it's better. I was hoping that someone would have tried a few
combinations and may be able to suggest a better suited set up. If I
don't get any other suggestions I think I will buy the marantz/deli set
up and do my own little review on the performance when fed from the
Touch.

Cheers

Pete

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Async USB Dac Experiments - testers wanted...

2012-10-20 Thread dpaws

Like thousands of others I'd just like to say thank you for all the work
and tech support you do.

Logitech should be ashamed with their new "product roadmap", there's
obviously some idiots in key positions within the corporate structure
who simply do not understand the product they bought from Sean Adams.
They obviously saw it as a quick way into the AV streaming sector but
then screwed up because they didn't understand the AV market either!

I wish they'd go back to making mice and webcams and leave us
audiophiles in peace! Thanks Triode, thanks Sean, fingers crossed for
the future
