  1. I currently own a BADA, and am quite pleased with it's peformance. Im my opinion, the Berkeley USB converter is a product that few will be interested in. There are numerous other products that do the same task, at a significantly lower cost. Indeed, at Berkeley's price point for this converter, one could obtain a very capable USB DAC. <br /> <br /> Note to Berkeley....You're only about two years late with this. Rather than developing an outdated product, you should have put your efforts into an Alpha DAC upgrade that could take on the Weiss 202.
  2. Elp, Thank you for the suggestion. Unfortunately, I am using ASIO, rather than WASAPI. Regards, Frank
  3. Thank you for the suggestion Rod. I just posted the question on the J. River site. I came here first, since I know that Chris uses the same software and DAC. Thanks again, Frank
  4. Hello all, if I may impose, I need a little help... After finding this wonderful site, I gained the courage to assemble my own music server (thank you Chris, without your excellent W7/MC14 configuration article, I would have never tried). Amazingly enough, I was able to get everything up and operating, with my Alpha DAC indicating high resolution sampling rates (Yeah!). Even so, I have ran into a significant issue; Occassionally, when MC15 switches between tracks, or from one music file to another, I get a loud "crack" out of my speakers. This happens between tracks of the same file type and resolution, and between files of different resolutions. Conversly, I get no such "cracks" when playing CD's through my Oppo BDP-83. I have hunted through MC15 looking for solutions, and have already tried the following settings: Tools > Options > Track Change > "Switch Tracks : Standard (gapped) - 0.1s" Tools > Options > Settings > "Play silence at startup for hardware synchronization: 1/4 second" It does not appear that these settings have had any effect. Due to the severity of the "crack", and the potential for damage to my speakers, I am extremely hesitant to use my new server. Thank you for whatever help you may be able to offer, Frank p.s. Although MC15 appears to be a nice piece of software, the lack of a readily accessible manual makes it a nightmare to use for the newbie. The J. River Wiki is nice, but the help instructions assume that the user is already well versed in MC15's use and termonologies. Very frustrating. OS: Windows 7 Pro/64 Processor: Intel i5 650 RAM: 8GB Ram Sound Card: Lynx AES16 (PCI) DAC: Berkeley Alpha DAC
  5. After reading the comments and impressions of many individuals, I have decided to purchase a Lynx AES16 sound card for a music server I am building (my first). What I have not been able to determine, is which version to go with (i.e. PCI or PCIe). My motherboard can support either, so sound quality is the primary factor. Which would you recommend? Also, what are the best driver versions to use with each card. I see references to "legacy drivers", yet the Lynx site offers only current drivers. Thank you, Frank
  6. I am in the process of building my first music server, and plan on utilizing J. River Media Server. Are there any disadvantages to using the 64 bit version of Win7 Professional, rather than the 32 bit version? I ask, because doing so would allow me to utilize more RAM.
