Hey All,
Does anyone know of a way to determine the native sample rate of media in Windows?
I would like to avoid the Windows mixing engine's re-sampling of the audio stream. Without application specific support for WASAPI Exclusive/ASIO mode the only way I am aware to avoid re-sampling is...
I believe I was one of the first to purchase the new line of isolators prior to their public launch, I originally had S/N 2. I had a problem with 'blurps' when it was in the chain. Intona was able to respond quickly, identify a firmware issue, patch it and send an advanced replacement. I...
Oh man, this is news to me. I didn't even know about the Samsung acquisition. Now it makes sense about the new Mark Levinson gear going plastic... no more bead blasted aluminum buttons on new gear. Sad times indeed.
Currently travelling and my laptop has only a 1080p display, I am not aware of how to capture 0-20kHz in REW without zooming out (thus the 50dB scale). I have attached bass response 0-200Hz with 10dB increments. In the zone that matters for 'boomy' bass [50-80Hz] I am only running 10-13dB hot...
I was in a similar situation deciding between the Salon 2 and 800D3. I never got to audition either prior to purchase. The reason I went with the B&W was out of fear that the Salon 3 was on the horizon, a refresh has to be imminent at this point.
I recently had the opportunity to listen to a...
Classe at least includes bandwidth in their specification THD+N measurements (both 500kHz and 90kHz). They also include a SMPTE 4:1 IMD spec.

I am biased though, I just bought mine yesterday ;)
I never insinuated you questioned the consumer's right to buy what they want. You clearly stated that "Nobody needs a DAC like this" and went on to list various manufacturers that are cheaper who can't match the measured performance of the Tambaqui. My point was that there is clearly a market...
You know the best thing about a free market? The consumer can decide whether they want to purchase it or not. Judging the tenure of Mola Mola, I would say they are meeting their revenue goals and appropriately priced their gear for the target market they want.
I like the premium build and...
I asked Benchmark if they had plans for a successor for a more powerful AHB2. They said there wasn't even anything on the drawing board for a new amp. I can't blame them, the AHB2 is selling like hotcakes (3 week lead time if you order today).
Maybe in my dreams a 1kW Benchmark amp :)
Am I missing something here? AHB2 in mono [500W 4ohm <0.0003 THD+N] wipe the floor with the referenced the Nord NC1200 implementation [480W <.008 THD+N].
Even in the actual measurements I posted of the NC1200 Mola mono implementation, the AHB2 affords magnitude better distortion at the same...
I drank the Mola koolaid after seeing this review and am in the process of constructing an extremely low distortion system. I have plans to trade in my AURALiC gear that are currently with Amir for measurement for the Tambaqui (unless the AURALiC stack turns out to have god-like performance...
That is my conundrum right now. I currently have a pair of Simaudio Moon Rocks 1/2/4kW @ 8/4/2ohm (who knows if it can actually hit 4kW at 2ohm without melting):

But I want the low distortion of the...
Thanks Amir! For your reference this is the response I got from their support group for latency via USB:
The latency depends of the sample rate. These are the average latency values:
44.1k: 55ms
48k: 48ms
88.2k: 28ms
96k: 26ms
176.4k: 14ms
192k: 13ms
Kind regards,

@amirm could we please get a measurement of input latency? I think this would be beneficial to add to the suite of standard tests for those of us who watch videos so we know which DACs will cause lip sync issues.
