    Music Server Computer transport - Hop On!

    OK an on-the-ground tech report: "I had an unmodified Musiland for use as simple SPDIF generator and found my receiver had problems locking consistently (I was debugging the software control for this receiver). Putting a 'scope on the signal out of the musiland showed this, left picture...

    Music Server Computer transport - Hop On!

    Musiland USB to DAC: We left off last time with the resistors in place of the pulse transformer to the SPDIF. Getting rid of the transformer and adjusting the output to 75ohms really opened up the sound. The new transformer parts arrive and we install one in place of the resistors. The...

    Music Server Computer transport - Hop On!

    So we finish the previously described modifications to the Musiland and install the Magic Black Box. The system boots up and recognizes all hardware. After a ten minute warmup we play music. Playing 'Dreams of Likembe' we hear bass notes that weren't noticeable before. Soundstage is more...

    Music Server Computer transport - Hop On!

    OK the Magic Black Box. Much has been written about the Musiland computer-to-external DAC enabler. Just plug in the USB data stream from the computer and out the provided SPDIF comes our DAC friendly perfect bits, even up to 192khz/24bits. That's pretty good news. However there are 'issues'...

    Music Server Computer transport - Hop On!

    I first saw one of these demo'd about 5 or 6 years ago at CES. It was a big brute floor standing computer, loaded with rips of CDs and driving some really nice high end gear. Since then they've become a common sight at high end shows everywhere but I've always found the performance spotty and...

    You saw the bottom. The top side: The tubes are mounted on an iso- suspended mounting plate, 3mm aluminum. Chassis is the 240mm wide x 360mm x 70mm Projekt style. Very rigid. Sockets are teflon, except for the 310a. The RCA input is at the back where you like it. Although the output...

    LD91 Mono Max with P:USH Power - Preview

    Our universe became a little disordered last year when we introduced the single chassis LD dual mono. Due to escalating costs the 8 year old LD monoblock was not sustainable as a product on two counts: 1. cost of materials and manufacturing had almost tripled since the original Billie was...

    Make Friends With Head-Fi Special

    Chazz 2 Headphone Amplifier You may remember the Chazz. It used EL34/KT88 and 6SN7 (earlier versions 6SL7) and output transformers. The Chazz 2 makes it own statement. You be the judge: -OTL through film caps. MUCH much better clarity, finesse and speed as compared to electrolytics. Front...
