  1. Can you comment further on the Rossini? I am really curious to hear how this compares to the Debussy, or even the Paganini stack.
  2. Did the Sound Galleries room have the Lampi and Zodiac Platinum DACs in the same setup? Can you comment on how the two sounded in that configuration? Would love to hear from someone who has heard both to compare.
  3. Does anyone have any information on the new dCS Rossini that was launched in Munich? Sounds like a Vivaldi-based one box replacing Puccini with upsampler hardware and interesting streaming/networking capabilities. Excited to see more information on that....
  4. I would love to hear impressions of folks that are in the room comparing the Antelope Zodiac Platinum to the Lampi DAC, and also any new information on the latest Chord piece. It should be exciting!
  5. Has anyone else had their unit shipped? I got a tracking number from Larry yesterday, but it shows that the number still doesn't exist in the FedEx system as of tonight....wondering if anyone else has confirmed theirs is actually enroute. Can't wait!
  6. Basically, just wondering if I should have my OS on its own hard drive. I am debating going with a single drive to house my OS and music files (partitions to separate), or go with two hard drives-one small one for my OS, and a second larger one for my Music. I am not going to separate unless I get feedback that there are SQ benefits from the OS being on a physically separate drive. If it matters, I will be using SSDs for one or both drives. Thanks!
  7. I have been searching around for this answer and have come up with no good info. Can anyone here comment with their experiences of running their CAPS with a separate hard drive for their OS and Music files? I am debating between breaking off the OS into a separate SSD, but do not want to do so if there isn't notable improvement over running both music files and OS off this single SSD. Does anyone have any comments to help guide this decision?
  8. Thank you so much Michael!! Really appreciate it.
  9. Thanks! Once I generate the filters in Acourate, can I remove the TASCAM from my system and just go back to USB out from PC direct to Zodiac without messing up the Acourate magic?
  10. Actually, as I read my own last response, I realize I am embarrassingly confused. A simpler way to ask the question....if you would be willing-can you tell me how I should configure the ins/outs assuming I am using my MP-1r kit mic/preamp (preamp needed for calibration), a TASCAM 366, my Zuma PC server with USB output card and my Zodiac dac?
  11. Ok, I think I am getting closer. The TASCAM looks like it may be for me. So if I understand correctly, I will bring the mic into one of the XLR inputs, and then feed my PC output into another input? I plan on using a USB card for the system output, which I don't see a way to feed into the Tascam. In this case, would I take either the toslink optical out from my MOBO and feed that into the TASCAM for the PC based signal? The finally, feed the USB out from the Tascam into the Zodiac?
  12. Hi Michael, Thanks for weighing in on this, talks with you on another forum and your posts there got me decding to jump into a PC system and Acourate. I guess my Zodiac has analog inputs, but to your point, they may not be converting to digital, I have never used them and info from Antelope generally has no detail. Do you have some recommended ADC sync setups you would recommend? I believe you are using the Lynx? I am not sure how the synchronous mic and source tones feeding through really work together...I guess I am fundamentally missing the basic understanding of this series of in/outs.
  13. I guess I would say I don't have one...which is source of confusion. My mic has a preamp with an analog out, not sure if that helps. My Antelope Zodiac DAC has an ADC built in, but I am really trying to figure out exactly how I am to be playing source tones through my signal chain will simultaneously bringing the analog mic input through the same box..... I was thinking of using the PC MOBO analog mic in, and going with that...but I am not sure where to feed the source of signal tones through then. Bascially confused about this entire aspect (ADC box tied into feedback/source loop).
  14. Need a little help with getting rolling with Acourate. I looked through a bunch of info, but am a bit confused on setting up the microphone for optimal measurement. I have a CAPS Zuma with onboard USB audio card, which feeds an Antelope Zodiac DAC via USB, which then feeds my amplifiers. I just picked up an Isemcon MP-1r microphone/preamp kit to take measurements with. In the system diagrams I found, I see that the microphone is supposed to feed an ADC/DAC card, with the PC file also feeding in. Can someone help me figure out how to optimally hook everything up to take measurements in my system? I am thinking I put the mic into the motherboard mic input on backplate, but not sure where to take the output from to keep everything in-sync. I understand that you can use a USB mic and make adjustments for having the signal routed through "the system", but would like to avoid doing anything less than optimal for this measurement phase. Any suggestions/tips would be appreciated. Thanks!
  15. Bought a case from Larry...case is absolutely awesome, and Larry is the man as far as customer service goes...
