Robert Silverman Plays Mozart

First things first: this set is outrageously priced. I mean, $180 for only seven discs is more than a bit steep. When I first saw the price on the IsoMike website I was dumbstruck. The only recordings I buy at (or above) that price point are obscure Beethoven sonata cycles from Japan or Ring cycles conducted by men with the last name Keilberth.

Ayre DX-5 follow up

Submitted by quadlover on

Did the unit that Michael Fremer review go to anyone else? The reason I asked is Mr. Fremer's "cool" comments about the DX-5 as a SACD player. Ayre's response seemed to infer that it was not set up through the menu system correctly. Since Ayre products seldom get less than a stellar review in Stereophile and most other reviews I was curious if any follow up is necessary or is planned.

Transmitting Cleaner Ones & Zeros To A DAC

So from what I have gathered in past readings on the topic of Jitter it has been my understanding (or misunderstanding)that Jitter occurs during the D/A conversion process and not before. It has also been my understanding that this phenomena is mainly the result of differences in timing between the source signal and the DAC.

Assuming this is correct, is there anything that can be done prior to the D/A conversion process (ie..signal is still in the digital realm or just 1's & 0's) that can enhance sound quality besides the use of a Word Clock?
