| Dac Technology Mature? Dac Technology Mature?I know this is blasphemy, but Is Dac technology reaching maturity. I think it’s coming back around again to R2R Multibit even if now it’s discrete as there are no chips being made because of cost. Vimak invented Delta Sigma... | |

| Have Passive Preamps Finally Come of Age? I don’t normally reply to your stalking.As I said " This is also why some get their nickers in a knot big time about passives, as they have amps that are very left field with next to zero gain, and they can’t use passives or even in some cases a 0... | |

| DECWARE.....ZTPRE anyone have any expeiriance with one ? almarg The cap will only "see" the input impedance of the power amp when the 100K output level control is at or near max. You sure Al, I see it like the cap seeing the "parallel" combination of what the volume control and poweramp impedance is c... | |
| DECWARE.....ZTPRE anyone have any expeiriance with one ? almarg I see that the output tubes are coupled to the output connectors via capacitors having what to me is a very surprisingly low value of 0.1 uf I just downloaded the latest I believe circuit. And what Al has pointed out is quite bad, as if t... | |
| Have Passive Preamps Finally Come of Age? mrdecibel Take care of the impedance issue, using buffers ( 0 gain ) and the source can drive most power amps quite well. This is also why some get their nickers in a knot big time about passives, as they have amps that are very left field with n... | |
| Have Passive Preamps Finally Come of Age? mrdecibel I have run 3 different dacs, 4 different tuners, a Samsung cable box, and a laptop from it’s headphone jack, through the passive, all with excellent results. I have also used 4 of my power amps, again, all with excellent results. If I a... | |
| CD player just tanked. n80 OP On the back of your Arcam CD92 there is a sticker, by any chance does it have a "T" after the CD92, http://www.hifido.co.jp/photo/10/627/62793/i.jpgIf it does it’s very sought after having the "Ring Dac" D/A converter in it and the best/la... | |
| Does dcs Vivaldi stack needs a pre amp Here also is Michael Fremer’s (Stereophile) sound impressions with the Vivaldi direct into his Dartzeel 458 monoblocks, and he loves his Dartzeel NHB18ns preamp which is no slouch, so for him to say this is quite understated, as he's a vinyl freak... | |
| Does dcs Vivaldi stack needs a pre amp info2rdw Does dcs Vivaldi stack needs a pre amp Hi all - I am considering buying a dSC Vivaldi Transport, DAC and clock, but can only do this if I can sell my Solution 520 pre. Any experience having your Vivaldi stack directly connected to your... | |
| Have Passive Preamps Finally Come of Age? it may explain why good active line stages can easily outperform passive devices in some cases. "In some cases" Very few.With 10k passives only if output to input impedance matching is below 1:10 ratio, which in most cases it’s not, unless the am... | |
| Have Passive Preamps Finally Come of Age? If sources with 2 V output go into some kind of distortion mode ( running out of steam, if you will ), how can a preamp help the distortion ? Enjoy ! MrD. Your right MrD, they can't.By reducing that 2v source with the volume control of an activ... | |
| Have Passive Preamps Finally Come of Age? almarg And Al, a source that gives out 2v is always going to give it out, even if you shunt half of it to ground because you don’t need it, because you have more gain to make it back up in the active preamp. So the distortion from the source "wha... | |
| Have Passive Preamps Finally Come of Age? migueca91 posts08-04-2018 7:30amTisbury Audio passive preamplifier. Very nicely thought out for the price, with -10db and -20db gain dip switch ability for high gain systems, and output dip switch for configuration. Just click on the photos. A... |
