  1. Hi Peabrau Did you ever try the Teradak with the MMK installed in Mac Mini, if so did you notice difference between Teradak and its supplied internal convertor and the Teradak and UA MMK. Also have you got any pictures of inside of Qualia LPS. regards Barry
  2. Hi Did you get SQ 2 to work with Tidal ?? I tried all possible settings in Midi and general system prefs and gave up in the end.
  3. PaulF Could the Phono section be just an Audio Research PH5 which is just a phono without the line section part . Meaning the T/T is plugged into phono only and then from the phono to the korg 2000. or is a linestage needed to boost signal. ATB Barry
  4. Have you tried opening your Audio Midi and looking at the settings there ?? regards Barry
  5. I THINK that the Rotary Switch is only on the newer models :-(
  6. Hi......I just looked on Amazon for Neil Young Blu Ray Comp and apparently it is in 24/96 not 24/192 stereo. This should be relatively easy by recording onto DVD/R . regards Barry

    Amarra

    You have had the software Amarra for evaluation, how does it stack up against the other Players.And how does it sound being played through the Berkley dac and through Sonics own hardware. Anticipating your reply........Barry :-)
  8. What happened to the 100 plus capacity cd players that companies used to make ?? I think it would be nice to have a machine that could load 100 plus Blu-ray disks is that 5tb ?? that would be a nice back up machine for your music files in whatever resolution. Now if we had a HD that backed up to these multiple capacity BR machines this would be a way to go. Possibly DSD format then d/l to BR at whatever resolution and those to come !!
  9. Don't know if my phrasing came across wrong, but the interest was not in a UK forum but what equipment people use in the UK/Europe as opposed to the US lads. If people had gone down the mac/pc -lynx route what cable was being used to connect equipment. Could you hear a difference between Lynx cable and say Van den hul, Chord etc. Have people had the opportunity to hear different Dacs to compare, where in The UK can someone go to hear different equipment associated with computer fronted systems. Regards Barry
  10. Has anyone in the UK so far gone down the Lynx - DAC route with some of the mentioned equipment i.e Weiss Minerva/Dac 2 (Anyone heard a difference ?? ), Bel Canto, Wavelength, Berkeley,Sonic Studio or others of audiophile quality. What cable are you using in between Lynx - Dac......Did you source it/ have it made up in the UK ?? Do You use P/C's or Macs with tweaked systems for Audio only use, seems like there is more tweaking to be done with P/C's than MAC's ( http://www.moozek.com/2008/08/21/definite-guide-to-windows-xp-tweaking-for-audio/ ) As far as I know no equivalent site to equal Chris's fantastic site is available for UK Computer Audiophiles !! Very difficult to evaluate " state of the art equipment" that is not available over here !! Seems very difficult for one person such as Chris to take all this on, many things to evaluate and he has time to answer questions as well !! Your doing a Sterling job ! Maybe UK/ Euro members could comment on above questions when you have time, I am sure we could move the knowledge base on some. Regards Barry
  11. I think you could be correct about the redundant LYNX card, wish Daniel would step in and assure me of this, then can sell card and put it towards cables etc. and then no need for cable from lynx to A/D etc. I like the look of the pure vinyl I saw it a few weeks ago, was hoping to find out more about it. Seems as if there is good sites for Windows Archiving of Vinyl with nice bits of software relatively cheap, if anyone is interested in them i could track them down tomorrow and put them up Thanks again for your comments All the best Barry
  12. Looks like my e-mails are down at the minute , Thanks for the offer , that would be great, I appreciate the time you are spending in doing this, I hope i will be of help in the future...............Kind regards Barry My E-mail is [email protected]
  13. Hey Guys thanks for the input it is much appreciated, helps when you feel isolated to know that there are good guys to come to your aid !! AUDIZORRO.....I have read about the 1 bit stuff on the Korg site that sounds interesting, but have to watch my pennies now, but it sounds real tempting, DSD and all that !!, very interesting. Playing out a recording as a one bit 5.2 MHZ file must be interesting ?? DIS........I have an ARC phonostage going into ref 3, wished there was not so many boxes !! but maybe when some files are in place and digitizing is done, I will be able to slim things down a bit. I am under no illusion of how difficult digitizing the vinyl will be, It will be done in stages. Chris I must commend you on this great site you have put together, great ,clean looking site !! Please sort out this cable review for AES/EBU to lynx I need some now and I dont want to waste my money on octopuss leads. Did you think the idea of splitting the made up cable in two was a good idea ?? LOL All the best guys, thanks for everything!!
  14. Hi......I am on a digital journey so to speak, and not a tecnophile in pc's . I have lots of vinyl L.P's and 45's that never came out on cd's just because of their rarity. So the time has come to digitize my collection for prosperity and comfort of playing them like a jukebox but at a nice audiophile sound level. this is my equipment i have decided on for the moment :- Oracle V / graham tonearm/ lyra titan i or dynavector-xvis This then feeds a benchmark A/D convertor to a mac pro with lynx card and then to a Weiss Dac 2 out to my analogue rig/ stax headphones. Now what I want to know is what is the best software to rip my vinyl to 24/176 or 24/ 192 and what is the best software for removing any hiss or clicks pops on my older records. ?? From "The Benchmark a/dc" i will be running a cable from It's aes/ebu to hd26 connector on the Lynx card, then a hd26 to aes/ebu connector to the Weiss Dac2 although this has a firewire connector to the mac if needed. If anyone has any thought's on this please chip in, I am a really newbie at this. Seemingly the Weiss Dac2 has out puts for digital as well so is it possible to run the Benchmark through the DAC2 using it as a interface then back to computer via the firewire then when recorded send the files back to the DAC and then on to my analogue rig without using the LYNX card at all ?? I am total confused as where the Word clock comes in to all this, I see I have an output on the A/DC convertor and one of the pins of the hd26 on the lynx card can be attached, so is a clock need or what ?? Finally the AES/EBU cables, as can be seen I need two cables one from the A/D to the lynx card and one from the lynx card to the DAC Can this be solved by buying a 6 metre aes/ebu for i.e van dan hul 110 ohms cable with a male and female xlr connector on either end cutting it in two then putting HD26 connectors on either end ?? Just a few bits to mull over but, any advice will be gratefully received All the best Barry
