Thanks Sir for the info
-
Hi Paul. Thanks for the video. What do you think about HDMI cable instead of Toslink?
-
Is the PS Audio Air Lens product for sale yet? I did not see it on the PS audio web site.
-
I do remember those old times audiophiles asked why some CD players sound better if it’s digital. In the 90’s I’ve read somewhere in Stereophile magazine digital is all the same ‘till you trying to convert it to analogue. The question ‘why it’s so’ is kinda complicated for audiophiles without deep fundamental knowledges in that area. Just take it as it is))
-
So where is the AirLens streamer these days? Could find no such product on your site, not even much mention, except when speaking of a discontinued Octave Records streamer .....

I still have a vintage enlightened audio designs dsp-9000 pro series 3 that uses at&t fibre. I think bel canto that lets you go from usb to at&t into a dac. Not many interfaces like that out there .
-
I use TIDAL because it compensates the artist at a much higher rate than any other steamer.
-
AES 67 Ravena is an existing standard that will move 32 ch. of 11.2 mhz DSD today via Cat 6 Gigabit ethernet, either copper or fiber. It would be cool to see that as a standard for moving Audio around home equipment instead of just pro equipment.
-
I have the HiFI Rose RS150 and the Airlens. The Airlens sound quality bests it by quite a bit.
-
Can’t you add tubes to your DACs like your pre-amp?
-
PS audio using Innuos on their music room 2. It’s on all their videos.
-
Galvanic isolation is one. The other one is reclocking the data so the dac has to make less effort to do witch reduces the noise off the dac
-
If galvanic is so important, why can't we connect an iPhone to a DAC via FiberOptic ? There are simple device that connect and convert from iPhone lighting to TosLink or Coax. No noisy 110V power involvement at all. Jusy my battery operated cell phone , right ?
-
I like Tidal, it's CD quality. I wonder if the DAC on my phone is any good? Maybe ill buy an external one and find out 😁
-
i have connected my daily pc to my AV system this way i can enjoy good sound in different scenarios all day long. From all connections available in my set up /HDMI,RCA and optical/ i choose optical SPDIF from PC to receiver for best quality
-
Finally someone not trying to convince me that a TCP package is different depending on how you transmit it. There are so many snake oil sellers out there that try to explain how jitter on an ethernet network can end up in your DAC, which is just stupid. Thanks a lot for not making your streamer any miracle box!
-
Why don't you just continue to use AT&T glass? It's still a thing, and is still used today for audio by companies like Playback Designs, and Ed Meitner at EMM Labs.
-
My house is connected by a fiber optic line. The optical interface is connected with Cat 6e cable to a modem/router. Then Cat 6e to streamer/TV. Streamer outputs to my preamp by Toslink, as does the TV. We hear nothing we're not supposed to.
-
Isn't this the same episode from last night?
-
But, I don't have to 'toss' my 'TosLink' . . . can still be used with an adapter to record directly from CD's . . .
