| Changing audio beliefs While I'm not anti-separate hardware preamp per se, I just haven't used one for years in my setup(s). My DAC's and setup specifics have been so that I could live without one, not to say that a separate couldn't have elevated the sound even further... | |
| DACs, external clocks, and what's what @ericrhodes1 wrote: Meh, good dacs don’t "improve" just because you hear a difference with an external clock. It’s different because the distance added noise which changes the sound. And most people say, "it’s different so it must me better." Ju... | |
| DACs, external clocks, and what's what @ericrhodes1 wrote: distance matters Even so; if an external clock makes a difference for the better in a specific setup context - distance, cables and connectors be damned - isn’t that an improvement to be embraced like in other areas of the ... | |
| DACs, external clocks, and what's what @ericrhodes1 wrote: My point exactly. It’s not likely that Grimm MU2 is the only product or brand to do this. So? There’s a market for external clocks because they make a difference for the better in existing setups. Buy all the DAC’s and sour... | |
| DACs, external clocks, and what's what @ericrhodes1 wrote: Also, while Grimm makes great products, I wonder why they didn't add a clock input to their MU2 if, as someone said, they thought external clocks were so necessary. That's because the MU2 already has a built-in clock secti... | |
| DACs, external clocks, and what's what @kerrybh wrote: I don’t doubt for a minute that your external clock has resulted in improvement-its foolish to question what someone else hears. That’s not really the question that is at the crux of the debate that interests me. I think the desi... | |
| DACs, external clocks, and what's what @kerrybh wrote: I’m certainly not a DAC designer. I think no one knows more about this stuff than Meitner, or the MSB folks, but this is quite confusing, at least to me. Lots of stuff in our hobby comes down to subjective preference, but this se... | |
| LFE vs High-level subwoofer connection, for FIDELITY @jbuddha882 wrote: Grok Ai states it [i.e.: high-level connection] matches your speakers tonal balance, timing cues, and sonic signature, because it shares the same signal path through the amplifier that your speakers sound travels through. It’s... | |
| LaScala speakers @rankaudio wrote: I sat down with a tri-amped pair of AL6's with SS for the low end and tubes for the mids and highs and they sounded very sterile, dull, flat and lifeless, lacking warmth and depth. Fairly recently listening to the actively co... | |
| Things you did not know about what is inside your speakers and the Huge markups @panzrwagn wrote: @phusis re: 'The Joseph Audio Perspective 2, which retails for something around $14k or so today, is almost identical to the SEAS Thor kit," I believe you’re addressing poster @russbutton here. | |
