Yes, I also do beleive you that a Lumin or Aries as streamer is VERY viable and is probably more convenient/user friendly. Apparently ate the extreme, core mode only has like 2 to 3 of the most essential processing running and so the parasitic effect become negligible.or so I am told. #WINDOWS 8 USB AUDIO DRIVER COMPUTERAUDIOPHILE.COM WINDOWS#Well the server version of Windows is more no frills that ome/office stuff and start with the advantage of having just about 150 such parasitic processes and its much easier to shut them down. #WINDOWS 8 USB AUDIO DRIVER COMPUTERAUDIOPHILE.COM DRIVER#The Mac guys are saying that if one gets HQ Player and a Dac that can run the Decibel promoted Asio Driver for Mac, you are also getting outrageous DSD performance.Īs a computer guy you know that the background processes are a killer for SQ and that consumer/business OpSys are running like a 1,000 "useless for audio" things in the background. Such a setup will be in NYC for the show.my pal is loaning his setup (running into a Big7). #WINDOWS 8 USB AUDIO DRIVER COMPUTERAUDIOPHILE.COM PC#I am hearing that a modded PC (or Caps) running Windows 2012 Server R2 with Audiophile Optimiser with Jriver/Jplay playback in CORE mode is da bomb and will take on all comers. My DSD brother, permit me to disagree on just one point. Companies like Lumin, Linn, Bryston, etc. Yes, and I've even owned modified MAC's, CAPS 3.0, etc. Computers do no belong in high end audio systems. All of these front end items negatively affect the sound. Why? Because there is no constant!! Everyone has different USB cables, different computers, different software, different everything. It just seems that every month there is a new DAC, then, people try it and become disappointed. I've owned 20 DAC's like the DAC2X, MA-1 and demoed many more. Since buying a Lumin, I've stopped reading about DAC's.they are inferior in every way to a network streamer IMO. I'm not married to anything except my wife. And if it beats the Lumin S1, I will be happy to say so. And if Jerry is getting one (he is the undeniable king of DACS), then I may get a chance since he is local to me. I've been promoting DSD for years.Īs I said, I would love to hear the Berkely DAC and it's accompanying USB gizmo combo in my system and be convinced. #WINDOWS 8 USB AUDIO DRIVER COMPUTERAUDIOPHILE.COM PLUS#The number is north of 10,000 (from more than 1000 SACD's plus downloads). But buying a DAC, USB cable, windows or Mac computer, JRiver, no thanks.Īs for DSD files, I'm the wrong guy to be asking that question in hopes of a low number. NOW, the exception to this for me would be to use the Lumin as the player/controller and run BNC out into a separate TUBE DAC to experiment. Mike, tell the truth, what percentage of the files on your S1 are DSD?Since buying a Lumin, I've stopped reading about DAC's.they are inferior in every way to a network streamer IMO. Since this DAC was announced last year, Berkeley said it wouldn't do DSD(see the first post in this thread).Īs JDaudio points out the units are back ordered, so I guess there are lots of people who buy into Berkeley's point of view on DSD. #WINDOWS 8 USB AUDIO DRIVER COMPUTERAUDIOPHILE.COM ISO#Let your ears be your guide."ĭealer for: Aqua Hi-Fi, Aurender, AudioQuest Cables & Power Products, Avantgarde Acoustics, Avid HiFi, Berkeley Audio Design, Block Audio, Boulder Amplifiers, Bowers & Wilkins (B&W), Bryston, Chord, Classe’ Audio, Degritter Record Cleaning Machines, Enleum (Bakoon), Esoteric, Finite Elemente, FirstWatt, Focal Loudspeakers and Headphones, Franco Serblin Loudspeakers, Furutech, Fyne Audio Loudspeakers, GigaFoil, Harbeth Loudspeakers, Hegel, HiFi Man, HiFi Rose, Innuos, ISO Acoustics, Keces Power Supplies, Kharma Loudspeakers and Electronics, Koetsu Cartridges, Kuzma Turntables, Lumin, Luxman, Magico Loudspeakers, MBL Speakers & Electronics, MSB Technologies, MySonicLabs Phono Cartridges, Naim Audio, Nordost Cables, Ortofon, Pass Labs, Quadraspire, Rega Turntables and Electronics, Shunyata Research, SimAudio, Stein Music Products, Stillpoints, VAC, Vicoustics, Viva Audio, Vivid Audio Loudspeakers, VPI Industries, WireWorld Cables.
