What I've done for now is feed the Node 2 into one of the spdif inputs on the DAC-3 -come out the balanced out into the balanced in on a MSB PAD-1-that goes into the Meridian DSP-5000 - the unbalnced outputs on the DAC-3 feed into the crossovers for my friend's Linkweitz 521.4 that he's loaned...

Looks like for my use the WiiM pro would do it. Am I right that I'd have to use my phone to control it or can that be done from my laptop on the wired LAN ?

I noticed the price difference -even used Mutec pieces are a bit more than I want to spend - probably well worth it for pro/studio use -but the Wiim stuff seems to be the solution. Thank you

Great -these are worth looking at -likely the solution to my problem .

My speakers (Meridian DSP-5000 )will accept up to a 24/96 input. In the past my Bluesound Node 2 worked fine run SPDIF out into a DAC-3 hgc Benchmark (MQA selections were only fed out digitally at 24/96). I used the digital pass thru feature and fed this onto my speakers. This worked fine but...

Advantage ? Not sure? The standard for describing phono input overload is to list at what level in mV at 1 kHz you reach 1% distortion. The specs for the ADept give overload specs in mV with this description "maximum analog input before digital gain /RIAA EQ........". Excuse my ignorance -but...

Have read the instructions for the ADept . Personally -have no interest in running a PC into my stereo rig -but my speakers (Meridian DSP-5000 24/96) have a upper limit of accepting 24/96 digital information.). I actually own and use a number of ADC s and a couple of Parks Audio Puffins which...

Very interested in the ADept -but one question : My speakers are limited to 24/96 inputs -having read the manual -I think if I hook up my computer thru the ADept USB input and then tell the ADept to expect 24/96 input -can I then expect the digi outputs of the ADept to output a 24/96 signal to...

Any further news about Parasound ? They seem to be fading away ?

Own three MSB- PAD1's (two working) - this thread got me looking for a modern alternative and like everyone else -can't find one ?? Weird question -a buddy runs one on his service bench as a DC blocker -does this make any sense or is he confident in something that won't work ? Really -these are...

Own and use a couple of Parks Audio Puffins with digi outputs but also have a bunch of other phono preamps. So jonesing for ADCs has been added to my obsessive purchasing habit. Now I'll have to look at the Ultra ?

I am wondering if the Wiim Pro Plus can accept a analog input and it's ADC will output a 24/96 Spdif signal into my old Meridian DSP speakers ? I listen to about 98% LP as a source so I 'm the rare/odd potential buyer who really cares about ADC functionality.

Attended Axpona week ago -definitely worth the time and min effort (Only live 90miles away from the venue.). For some reason I noticed that a lot of system descriptions included whoso cabling they were using. Obviously THRILLING :-) to hear a system with $5K IEC powercables and even more...

I am wondering if Ortofon ever made a cartridge/stylus with a sapphire cantilever and a fine line tip? Right offhand I don't think so ? but maybe I'm wrong. They used fine line tip for decades -but I think sapphire cantilevers always had shibata tips ?

Been using the DAC-3HGC for a few years -musta missed the plugs in headphone jacks issue ? Why would you do this ?

There is a UK source for a modified/improved power supply which they will make in whatever AC input voltage you want.

I listen thru Meridian DSP-5000 speakers -which means they only accept 24/96 SPDIF inputs. 90% of my listening is off of LP's -so ADC's are necesary I own and use the Park's audio Puffins and actually -you could set one of those up as a ADC's with some interesting features, I've used the Mytec...

Trouble is we listen -unfortunately closer to taste than a measuable phenomon . Still-you don't want a glass of vinegar instead of wine -we can certainly measure that difference . .

While I've had strange humm issues in the past from other equipment's transformers-have owned a Benchmark DAC-3HGC for 5? years or so and use it-dead silent on or off. Not sayin you couldn't figure out someplace or something (AC majic box of some sort?) to plug it into that causes this issue-but...

tried something the other day : MM input on ART Precision Preamp -Sony Plug in MC transformer used with the Sony XL-MC3 LOMC cartridge (.25 mV ) -adjusted for this combo (IOW-no red flash) -then switched to Denon DL-301-II (.4 mV) -interesting how far I had to turn down the gain control on the...
