Audio-Gd Master 7 - Discrete Fully Balanced DAC (PCM1704)
Quote: This is not true. As Kingwa experimented and said several times, the PCM1704 can receive over 768K. I think he tested double that, but 768Khz is a safe bet, and that would imply 2x oversampling from the usb32 via chipset. 1Mhz, which I believe is the practical limit of the...- Telstar

ATH-W1000X Thread!
Quote: I have and I dont like the Hifiman at all. I share a bit your opinion on grados. You wont be disappointed by the W1000X. LCD-2 and higher offering from Audez'e gives a different presentation, you need to audition by yourself. Senns (the two models you cited) are good but really...- Telstar

Audio-Gd Master 7 - Discrete Fully Balanced DAC (PCM1704)
Quote: Yes, but not in direct comparison to the ref7 or similar dac. It's very good, one of the best NOS dacs I ever heard (and I heard many). But it's not extremely linear and I'm sensitive to distortions, so I prefer a good implementation of the pcm1704 or a custom r2r dac (MSB for...- Telstar

Fostex TH900 Impressions & Discussion Thread
Quote: There is one problem with declaring lower value - if the shipment gets damaged/lost the courier would respond only for that value+shipping cost, so it's all responsibility of the seller. With high volumes, chinese sellers usually do take this cost, refunding or resending the item...- Telstar

Quote: Violin is one of the hardest instruments to reproduce well. I also love it. Both the source and the transducer are equally important for the job.- Telstar

Audio-Gd Master 7 - Discrete Fully Balanced DAC (PCM1704)
Quote: In terms of detail they should be the same, multibit DACs dont highlight details like S-D ones do. But up/oversampling if done well, improves transparency, because prevents the HF noise to contaminate the audio bandwith. Speed, cant say for sure, probably it is slightly improved...- Telstar
