It’s sad to see their new Studio software which is trying to rip people off with expensive yearly subscription fee that is equal to the lifetime price of the predecessor. I’m still using the old Audirvana Plus but won’t count on their software support for much longer. Any good paid and free Audirvana painfully slow. Hey guys. So far everything has been working fine and fluently, except Audirvana. Audirvana is a huge laggy mess, even on High Sierra it was but now it’s worse.

It lags on the album view It still does loud enough on DSD on non-classical music, but with classical, it gets a I’m interested in the D90 because of its measurements and Topping’s attention to detail and engineering, yet, they have kept the cost reasonable.

I liked the D90 because it was one of the best measuring DACs, affordable, actually performed up to its reported standard, and STILL had no noticeable performance glitches. If people want to really make a difference, think about speakers, room correction, and if you’re an HP aficianado, better headphones I know that’s a very old and tired chestnut. No faults with the D90 MQA yet and still very much enjoying it — why?

Joined May 14, Messages Likes Just got D90 yesterday, it gets warmer after couple of hours playing than my previous DX3 Pro, is it normal? I concur with Soundnews’ review especially on the airy, lively, multi-layer soundstage produced. Listening from Aries Mini with its Lightning DS apps no oversampling feature via USB then balanced output to integrated amplifier and studio monitor speaker.

Sorry for my bad English. Veri Master Contributor. Joined Feb 6, Messages 8, Likes 11, BTW, what platform are you using? If Mac, you can try to play some upsampling DSD Joined Aug 24, Messages 14 Likes 3.

It is not a realistic sound in my opinion but it may does what you are looking for. Joined Jan 20, Messages Likes View attachment I concur with Soundnews’ review especially on the airy, lively, multi-layer soundstage produced.

AndyLu said:. Yes it is normal that it gets warm, because there is a for a DAC quite large linear power supply with a toroidal transformer in it. Also the whole aluminium housing functions as a heatsink. Nothing to worry about.

Both have the same excellent audio quality. Audirvana is easier to use than Foobar, but is not free you can download a trial version. Foobar is free and has more options than Audirvana, but is a bit less user friendly.

On Foobar some plugins have to be installed to enable upsampling. There are also people on this forum who use HQ player, but I have not much experience with that program. The only thing I know is that HQ player is quite expensive and seems to offer a lot of algorithms for upsampling. Joined Sep 7, Messages Likes Didn’t know the d90 uses a lineral power supply.

When Slim Devices released the high-performance Transporter, I was sufficiently impressed that I purchased the review sample after measuring it for Wes Phillips’s review in the February issue. I used the Transporter for several years,but after Logitech, which had purchased Slim Devices at the end of , stopped supporting the Squeezebox devices, I put it aside. But every few months, I fire up the Transporter, feed it audio data over my network, and spend a nostalgic evening enjoying what it does.

To the screen’s right are the standby button, a volume control knob, and a 3. The power supply is linear rather than switch-mode and features a configuration said to minimize electrical noise. That screen is what makes the RS both noteworthy and useful. When the unit is turned on for the first time, it prompts you to enter your time zone, country, and preferred language. After that, a horizontal stream of icons is displayed. There are so many icons that you need to scroll left or right to see them all.

The RS doesn’t have a CD drive. Pressing the Settings icon allows you to adjust things like the display brightness, the format of the clock display, the appearance of the VU meters that appear when music is playing, and rearrange the order of the icons.

You can also check the operating system version and IP address, connect to a Wi-Fi network, and watch a tutorial video. An In-Out Setting icon allows you to choose an external input, digital or analog, set the input to Internal, where it defaults to the network input, and choose a digital or analog output. When you select the analog outputs, a gearwheel icon appears and allows you to choose one of seven FIR Interpolation reconstruction filters see the “Measurements” sidebar ; select variable output level or one of eight fixed output levels ranging from mV to 2.

Setup and use When I first turned on the RS and connected it to my network by Ethernet, it assigned itself an IP address then told me that it needed to update its operating system. This it did, and the front-panel display identified the system as “3. Mostly, however, I used the RoseConnect Premium app v3. This app requires iOS Some audio settings, I learned, are available only via the In-Out Setting icon on the front-panel display and then the gearwheel icon mentioned earlier. I don’t have any bit audio files, so I left “Lower 8-bit correction for 32 bit sound source” switched off.

The RS recognized the storage device and asked if I wanted to scan the contents and create a database. Once this was done, after a delay the albums appeared in the app’s and front panel’s Music window. Selecting RoseTube with the app or display brought up a selection of music videos on YouTube. Similarly, selecting Radio and in response to a prompt selecting “USA” as my country brought up a list of internet radio stations.

That’s probably the review of the QB-9 Twenty in its entirety. After all, the Twenty is an upgrade to a no longer manufactured product. And, yeah, you should get the upgrade. At the risk of sounding like a shill for Ayre, the upgrade is really worth the asking price, and probably a lot more.

Which I paid in full – if I’m a shill, I’m also a very bad negotiator. Definitely a worthwhile upgrade. I guess we’re both shills for Ayre. Of course, many, many people will tell you that this sort of thing is inaudible and that you are crazy. But, crazy people can be happy, too. This particular digital solution seems to perform not quite as well as some other products with regard to jitter sidebands.

Is this audible? By how much? Head to the bottom of this very web page and click on the button that says “hi-finews”. That’ll take you to a website for the magazine of the same name.

In the Lab Report, there is a plot of what is labeled Wow and flutter. This is a spectral display of a single tone from a vinyl disc played back through the turntable under review. Isn’t that pretty much the same concept as the jitter test, at least with regard to the central tone of the J-test at 11 KHz? It’s not obvious from either plot and associated labelling what the measurement parameters are for the spectrum analyzer. The resolution bandwidth, the video filtering, the averaging type and number of samples, the detector type, and so on are not shown for either.

To be fair, this might be explained in an article somewhere that I failed to find – my bad. Variations there would explain a lot.

But, maybe there’s much more to it. I don’t think there’s much confusion here. Jitter was never all that audible as an issue. No need for audiophiles to fear this “boogeyman” in general. I posted a demo for folks to listen to years ago – just Google “Archimago Jitter Demo”.

Yeah, the J-Test for a device like this is not good for modern digital especially for the bit ethernet input. I still don’t think it’s audible in real music anyways, it’s more of a reflection of the engineering that the time-domain wasn’t better despite the claims of using femtoclock parts and the ESS ESQ2M DAC chip!

No surprise as well that turntables are comparatively inaccurate vs. It’s very obvious if one listens to a pure tone like Hz as per HiFi News. Time-domain is poor with LP playback not just because of turntable rpm variations but also the imperfections of the vinyl itself. Again, with music we don’t notice these issues as much.

Nice article. Thanks for testing storage drives i. Articles like yours and the use of Roon help prepare us for if that plunge ever comes. If only HD music videos are needed what else??

Who needs to sweat fighting with those complex ‘hi-teck’ remotes??? This is exactly what yours truly have been doing since a couple years back. Please note any DACs deliver adequate output voltage to drive directly any power amps to their rated full output power. The sonic is sooo rewarding.. No kidding. Search form Search.

So, how is one to interpret all of this? One is obviously far different than the other.

I find this all confusing. Perhaps I am the only one who does, though. Perhaps I am overthinking all of this, too. Wouldn’t be the first time.
