| Software converting PCM to DSD using DoP @erik_squires Two different streamers. One is the Raspberry PI with the PI2AES hat that can output SPIDF, I2S and AES/EBU using Volumio Software. It converts everything even DSD files to PCM. Before installing the Album Player software it was... | |
| Software converting PCM to DSD using DoP @audphile1 Yeah you would think but it's not the case. I spend a lot of time listening, researching and comparing. It seems to me to be similar to HQPlayer in how it outputs data and DoP is a much blacker background and provides better separat... | |
| Re: streaming recommendations for newbie @elliottbnewcombjr Access, convenience terrific, but sound was not good. Eva, Ella, Sarah, Annie, Fontella, Barbra and Donna, .... none of the women’s voices sounded ’right’. I’ve experienced the same thing. Female voices sound almost mecha... | |

| Streamer only You can isolate your DAC from your computer quite easily. The majority of the the noise generated by the computer is in the power line that runs side by side with the data lines inside the cable. A simple $5 USB adapter that removes the power f... | |
| Importance of a DAC's elements From my perspective streamers are simply purpose built computers that provide a digital signal to your dac. That can be as simple a single board computer like the Raspberry PI to some of the ultra expensive highly modified computers that go as fa... | |
| Wool Blankets as Room treatment I use mine as cover for the flat screen. Damping the reflective surface changes the presentation. | |
| Excellent interview with Mark Levinson He does sell a software player "Master Class" for the Mac that processes digital files??? | |
| Preamp - what's the purpose? | |
| You don't lack bass, you have too much treble @curiousjim If you bypass the denifrips and use the BS dac does it have the same issue? | |
| You don't lack bass, you have too much treble @curiousjim A 10db to 15db jump in that frequency range is pretty drastic. What are you using as a source? |
