    Mica pad query

    Quick question, is it ok to use two mica pads for extra insulation insurance? The reason I ask is because I'm still getting shorts for my intended application, probably due to a little over tightening. So would heat transfer be an issue if 2 pads were used?

    itunes digital output and Equalizer?

    I discovered by accident that the equalizer in itunes still works with direct digital output. How can this be? It’s binary data that has not been through a DAC, I cannot fathom as to why this would be possible. Any ideas?

    does a DAC need a fancy transport?

    this is a bit of a spin off from the thread: http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f21/do...-cable-461445/ I fail to see what a transport does for the signal, being binary data how would a fancy transport have any effect over a computer feed directly into a DAC. I don’t get the need for a high end...

    Cable and pre-conception, placebo at work?

    Does the type of cable send instant cues of pre-conception, for instance... Silver: Fast, bright and transparent. Copper: Great tone, smooth and relaxed. Gold: Warm and rich. Cables also share uncanny similarities with jewellery, in terms of descriptions of sound. Where was this...

    Finding what component is holding your system back is no easy task, it can be anything from an interconnect to a complete source replacement.
