  1. i know the difference between rudness eloise. what a waste of time this was no other forum have i been on that children like clay can just say abuse as they have. well no loss to me he can abuse someone else i will not lower myself to his level
  2. i seriously think you have issuse and quite frankly its a shame its a forum in real life you would be dealt with. if this is how you people hold a forum then god help you in the real world. oh maybe you keep your comments to yourself instead of being BATTERED!
  3. Dj_AmTrax Has anyone compared the sound quality of those three outputs? I've dines Firewire vs. Optical to Apogee DAC. Optical won in every test. I now wonder if the HiFace USB converter is any better than the built in optical out. 20hertz I am going thru exactly the same process, and have asked a couple of question here http://www.audioasylum.com/forums/pcaudio/bbs.html it seems implementation is the key. I hope more info on the Legato comes out also. http://www.analogresearch-technology.net/LEGATO.html Possibly reclocking is the improvement whatever the input. ferenc I like HiFace much more than the optical output of the MacBook, running to Lavry DA10, Mytek, Altmann Attraction, Weiss DAC2 and now Naim DAC. I like Hiface more than using a TC Konnekt as Firewire - SPDIF converter too. However using Weiss DAC2 as a Firewire - SPDIF converter seems to me a bit better than the HiFace, using the same DACs. YMMV . I think it is not about the format but implementation. You can live with any of the different connection methods easily for the rest of your life, the difference is not night and day. this was on this ite another part? interesting
  4. 4est tell me, they say that a usb output does only 16bit 44,1 as its been set that way. i read the latest reviews by hifi news on a few dacs and one was by musical fidelity the vdac. now this unit has no usb but apparently beats all the others hands down. i actually would have considered listening to that but i have balanced speakers. so that is why i wanted xlr. now you say that the other dacs do hi res but is it not upsampling rather than a direct carrier of the origional signal. tell me what you know what yourfeelings are? see at present i need a dac as cheap as i can get away with. but in the future we are going whole hog as they say in texas. iam open to lots of suggestions so say what you feel but bare in mind whats going on my end money wise and what i have heard. wow the first one is unreal simply beautiful. the secound one is so cute its tiny man but i am gonna read on it . keep em comeing, if you have any favourites high end as well tell me even cables wise let me know your ideas. and thank you so much. respects raju
  5. what you wrote was great and very helpful if we can talk like this I would love to share your views. you told me something I was told that could not be done so you see you do know your stuff it just was not productive the way you spoke before, any let us move on. but now we are having a good chat do tell me usb in high res. what have you experienced my friend tell me . see what I am trying to do is master in 24bit /192 kHz. now reading so much from top people like moon audio they say firewire and xlr and spdif digital is the only cable to carry that res which at the moment is the highest res they said. so when they were asked why are you doing better resolution dacs as 32bit which I think he said 768khz capable freq upsample, he said 24bit 192 is the highest to receive but then we work on that its better. but he said not via usb. respects raju lets keep it going
  6. I am going to a guy just up the road from me , I can give you a link for you to chat with them if you like. they really are lovely guys and regardless of what opinion one has it can be talked out and is lovely. they really are great. if I may help with prices links or anything I will for you . I believe that some of the top people on here are wonderful but others spoil it but making silly comments. I am the type of person who loves to talk and see why things are the way they are not be put down or talked down to. this to me is bad upbringing. I can also be argumentative and vile but this is a Childs way. if more were like you what a joy this site would be. but I will say it is a fantastic site when it works one of the best on the net bar none I believe. you see what I am trying to achieve is hi res without any adapters or extra links . I know people on here have more experience than me and are very technical which I love. but just lets talk with being Seville to one another when expressing its what we believe. one thing I know about audio is we are all maybe right . why because we all have different tastes . so what one may say yes to another will say no way. then let us agree to disagree. I really am open to talk I love to its a great pleasure but don't make comments like peril and train wreck this is not helpful to the whole emotion that this forum stands for. please tell me any prices your wanting and anything else I will be happy to help you kind sir. on the subject of usb to dac or spdif the guys here are correct only i would be downsampling then reupsampling which was not an option but toall thankyouforthe thought. the naim is priced at http://www.hificorner.co.uk/naim-dac.html hope that helps. as for the weiss is done by 7 dealers but i cant get a price yet. let me know if you want one i will enquire for you respects always raju
  7. if you can read the link previous to mine the gentleman has asked for options on cables so he has a few choices. if you wish to help him you may. i do hope whilst argueing with people you dont end up in the train wreck you so kindly have refered to. if you read the first link i am looking at hi rez only hence firewire. no broad assumptions have been made by me so if your not of the mind to help DONT POST!
  8. hi hitari just saw your post and remembered when i joined it was a lot of information as to why my setup would not go high def and was there a difference. myself i changed the format to wav on logic 8. but as the guys say whats there is still the same only the file was bigger. what i did do was something most people wont which is mp3s i had i remastered them. otherwise again as these guys say once ripped at 16bit you could then upsample to a higher resolution while outputeing through a dac they could advice you on. but i see you got the benchmark good unit i say that was my little story for you. respects raju
  9. Do you folks know where I could find a quality cable that would meet my needs so I can give the Rosetta a fair shake in my search for a dac, This is a search I hoe to end in a week or so as I have been without music for well over two months as I sold cdp and have taken that time to learn from this forum all I can on a computer driven solution
  10. i had a look for you and i have 5 choices price wise. you will need to cotact them and ask for prices. http://stores.shop.ebay.co.uk/SoundStable__W0QQ_armrsZ1 http://stores.shop.ebay.co.uk/achtung-audio__W0QQ_armrsZ1 http://www.tm3connections.com/displayproduct.php?product_id=52&category_id=24 http://www.tm3connections.com/displayproduct.php?product_id=95&category_id=24 http://www.artisansilvercables.com/?gclid=CK-7l6684KACFRM_lAodlSu2FQ hope it helps
  11. advice i dont mind arguments i dont like . to me its a case of pick another thread! thank you for your words i agree that the testing can be hard but i am in london and found good sellers who are willing to show me the products . its just a case of emailing till you get a yes. also anything you want to add as in ask a question on this thread go ahead my friend.
  12. There are various solutions for you as far as high quality firewire converters / interfaces.. but few with XLR outputs and not 1/4" TRS. Therein holds the irony that most firewire interfaces are in the pro market, and the pro market uses /mostly/ balanced TRS outputs. So the options are severely limited given your criteria but here are 2 channel D/A converters to meet your exact needs: Weiss DAC2 $2500 Apogee Rosetta 200 with X-Firewire card add-on $2,100 Also praer, I'm not trying to start any poop throwing just asking out of pure curiosity; did you and some friends do a comparison of interconnects with a 1/4" balanced male TRS connector on one side and a male XLR on the other side vs. an interconnect with a female XLR connector and male XLR on the other? I've wanted to do this very comparison and wanted to know if this is what you are speaking of? Thanks.__________________ thanks david makes a lot os sense and its something i noticed chatting to a few guys who have come from studio backgrounds. they said the same thing as well in regards to the 1/4 inch unit. i have actually tried a system set up by myself with 1 side 1/4 inch and the other xlr and there were refinments. when i tried the xlr side with the silver cable. leaving what is used by all on the right side 1/4 inch the guys said rog your right there are differences and now huge ones. i asked around for high quality 1/4 inch connections and cabling guess whatdavid no one does em. i called loads of places and not one. yet soon as i asked in regards to a high quality cable xlr they all said yep what price. tell me why? i say to everyone its not me if everyone is doing it maybe theyre all doing it at there own peril as somone put it.??? david i checked out a adac another guy told me about on here apogee mini dac but the new one with firewire interface as i want to carry the 24 bit/ 192khz all the way. do you have any experience with this my friend
  13. at last some advice that someone feels is going to work short and simple no arguments thank you so much I will look into this now. if you have any other ideas please feel free to tell me so I can make sure I do the right thing. I have to say its a starting point the speakers I really want are the genelics 3040a but mine were a present. the cables I did not spend a lot on I just surfed and spoke to many people not connected with the companies. the interconnect are a heavy silver purity with neutrik silver for a very cheap price. the usb was not to expensive and they cryoed it for free..although I am not sold on cryo yet. but its silver again and to be honest to me I felt ones and zeros were just that but have heard differences in certain cables and was shocked. not many but few. so eventually I would consider a dac like Weiss. or even my fav dcs. but right now I am trying to just do the best I can but thank you all for your positive help.
