and I do need to give Nick my WAD II power supply so he can finally finish the job on my phono preamp!
Probably coerce one of the offspring top come along too.

You could be right. I've a computing background (mainframe hardware in the 80's and software since) so 'bits are bits' is ingrained in me. I was thinking more about transcription errors in converting the bits from the PC in one format into bits of another format going into the DAC including clocking...

One reason I like the SB family is that there is a wireless break between the electrical gubbins gushing around the cheap as chips PC and the DAC, and that the network layer will rebuild the signal cleanly (or a little more cleanly). And fewer wires or positioning restrictio...

Getting the bits from the disk to the DAC
Good Morning All Advice please! Currently I use an SB3 to get play music wirelessly from my PC hard drive, sending the signal via the optical or coax (I can only detect the difference when I have had a glass or two) to my MF TriVsta DAC. :lol: Sounds OK to me - better (again after a glass or two) pl...

Amy Winehouse RIP

Another one bites the dust. At 27!

Thanks to all......
... for such a wonderful time. I can now say that I have seen some things that should be in the design museum (the 833 offspring) and some that are the stuff of nightmares - how anyone can keep the flow of the 6 foot by 2 foot 300 piece 3-stager in their heads, respect. Anyway, had enough of you lot...

Do dacs sound different?
Hi mind if I bring my Musical Fidelity TriVista and we compare the sound with yours? Both MF so both should have house sound, but are they really different?SteveTheShadow wrote:Hi Steve - both days
I'll have my Musical Fidelity M1 upsampling DAC to add to the mixture.
