SP/DIF Digital Out - How 'Good' Is It?
I have read many threads about the varying quality of the internal DAC circuitry in stand-alone CD/DVD players, but I have not seen anything addressing the variance, if any, of optical/coaxial digital output signals. Surely they must vary by manufacturer as well. Or is digital 'digital' and...- Jo6Pak

Upgrade my Entech to WHAT?
I have an Entech 203.2 that I picked up several months ago on evilbay for 100 bucks. It still works and sounds ok (better than the onboard DAC in the CDP, anyway), but I wouldn't mind upgrading if I can do it 'reasonably'. Mind you, I am not looking at spending $1000 or even $500. That being...- Jo6Pak

High $ Cables For Senns - What's The Deal?
I've read the usual pros and cons (worth it/not worth it) of upgrade cables for Senn 580/600/650 and am wondering if there is ONE cable most people agree is a TRUE upgrade. I mean, one that most people actually notice an audible improvement. I recently got what I believe was a pretty good deal...- Jo6Pak

Finally Got Off The Fence (Senn Inside)...
For the past few weeks I've been in some turmoil over deciding which cans to buy. Since I got my DarkVoice 336i a month or so ago, I have been wanting to upgrade my HD595s to either the 600 or 650. There are so many threads/opinions about both, positive and negative that I finally just decided...- Jo6Pak

Entech 203.2 DAC vs Internal CDP DAC (Marantz)
A short while ago I scored an Entech 203.2 on ebay. I was planning it use it with a somewhat elderly Sony CD Recorder/Changer that I figured was inferior to even a moderately priced, standalone DAC such as the Entech. However, while I was waiting to receive the Entech I came across a fair...- Jo6Pak

Y Cabled vs Left Side Cabled Cans
I currently own four pairs of Senns, ranging from HD515 to HD595. I believe I am ready to try the HD600 now that I have an amp that should easily drive them (DarkVoice 336i), but the Y cable is holding me back. I am so used to left-sided cans that the thought of a Y cable scares me. Seems like...- Jo6Pak

K701 w/Darkvoice 336i & Pop/Rock w/Chick Vocals?

Is It A Crime To Use EQ?
Intro: Let me preface this thread by stating that my audio gear is not high-end. In fact, its probably somewhere around mid/upper priced low end.

Do I Even NEED A DAC???
I recently picked up a Yamaha DVD-C750 with SACD and DVD-A capability. The specs say it has a 24 bit, 192 khz DAC in it. Does that negate the need for an outboard DAC or what? I just ordered myself a DarkVoice 336i and am trying to line up everything else I might need before it arrives. THANKS!- Jo6Pak
