Just in case an innocent reader stumbles into this thread unsuspectingly..... ....They should know that there is an easy test for all of these claims. Simply take Meridien's choice of best example of their remastered audio, play it on their best equipment, then loop the analog out through a...

Well there are more than one way to sell a service.

I don't have a problem with the concept. But then why doesn't Mr. Stewart just provide some solid technical information. It seems like we are all just left guessing.

  Reading between the lines of this non-statement statement you don't list your secondary or tertiary goals, or give any technical information.   So the average reasonably technically savvy reader of this long and winding thread might instead conclude that what is really going on is that...

I've written at length about quantization and jitter somewhere between pages 50 and 100 of this thread :-)  And so have others.  Search my posts.   The bottom line is you can run in circles on all the mathematics all you want there is not enough information available to prove mathematically...

Such a wonderful marketing answer that I would be proud of. So many paragraphs written without actually stating that their 24 bit files are actually recorded and mastered in 24 bit. Such complicated information to get from such busy studios.... ah me....

I'm happy with my Realtek HD audio built into my ultrabook.  Mac people seem happy with any Mac model.  You don't have to go far to find Realtek HD it's in most higher end ultrabook laptops from the last 2 years.  To make it into a line out just get a splitter 3.5-to-RCA cable for $3 from...

  I'm glad you solved your defective amp problem.   The answer to your question about damping factor is "no".  Damping is just a fancy term for resistor in this context.  If series resistance was advantageous they could just put it in the amplifier box.  The ideal voltage mode amplifier has...

I took at look at the Magni2 specs online (they don't post Magni1) and it's a conventional <0.2 ohm output impedance.  So it's a standard voltage mode amplifier with high gain loop.  I really doubt there can be high frequency instability that is so well understood and easy to stabilize by design...

Sorry I don't know what a magni is and I don't have a clear vision of your circuit. I believe a simple sine sweep will tell all. I feel like it is a simple problem to solve but need some data. Best of luck.

  Hmmm.   Interesting idea but seems unlikely to me.    First of all surely this would only happen at high frequency well outside the audio band, and THD+N measurement must be filtered to the audio band, or usually A weighted.  Narrow the bandwidth window to rule this out?  Try just a pure...

I'm clueless why you're doing this but there must be a reason :-)   Anyhoo - basic electrical engineering.  If I understand you correctly, the 33 ohm is on the split branch in series (IE inline between the inner "hot" connector of RCA to line-in with the outer "ground" shield of the RCA not...

Hello - anyone out there got anything to say about 24b vs 16b? Yes that is PCM, usually embodied as FLAC.

What's wrong with multichannel FLAC?  Why do we need anything else?
