CES 46/T.H.E. Show 15: One Veteran’s Narrative

E d Meitner is a well-known name in audio circles all over the world. Incidentally, these happen to be both home audio as well as professional audio circles. His eight-channel converters both sides are used by many music companies and recording studios.

There is, moreover, another similarity between the two manufacturers — they have both invested a lot of money and effort to refine the Super Audio CD format.

That could not have been easy, given that the company that invented it — Sony — has been abandoning it for quite some time. Perhaps the issue was not so much the format itself, but rather high resolution recording.

It could be proved by the recent move of Ed Meitner, who in early July announced the availability of his new player that he called Meitner Integrated Playback System M That is important inasmuch as Ed Meitner currently owns two brands — the one above mentioned, and Meitner Audio his previous companies were Musatex and Melior; he is also known for his association with Sony and Philips in the development of the DSD standard; most of SACD masters are made with his converters.

Why does Meitner need it? Frankly, I do not know. Perhaps there is some truth to what can be found on English-speaking forums, namely that it is a result of a legal dispute between emm Labs Incorporated and Playback Design see HERE. Is it really so? The XDS1 SE is not a new device, as its basic version went into production in , but it is still in the company lineup.

In a separate category are players using multi-format ROM drives — for example Wadia. As we can read on the webpage of The Upgrade Company , the drive is manufactured by Pioneer to Esoteric specifications, and was originally designed for the SA and DV players.

The drive is new, manufactured in Japan and controlled by programmable DSP systems. The tray is very solid, made of cast aluminum. The role of the drive How important in a player is the drive?

You will get as many answers to that question as there are audiophiles and manufacturers. We can, however, roughly divide the answers into two categories — those for whom the drive mechanism is not important, only the accompanying electronic, and those for whom it is the most important part of the player.

The first group comprises mostly engineers, mostly theoreticians, the second groups together empiricists, again mostly engineers. The aspect related to the quality of sound is entirely dependent on mechanism control, error correction and digital data processing systems. A somewhat different manufacturer, although belonging to the same group, is Accuphase, using its own drive, based on Sony optics.

Myself, I am wholeheartedly in the second camp. Theoretically, Roy Gandy and other engineers belonging to the first group including also people from Wadia, Primare, Denon, McIntosh, etc. However, audiophilism is an area where such certainties are constantly tested, over and over again, and where book theories are approached with suspicion. Plastic junk and metal beauties sound different.

And even among the latter it is easy to point out differences between drives from Philips and Esoteric — they simply sound different! The slash sign was necessary because, although the platform from US-based Synergistic Research is on the one hand designed to minimize vibration, its main task is to minimize RF noise inside the device, where it originates.

It was originally designed to work with computers and hard drives, where RF noise is particularly problematic. It turned out, however, that it equally well affects audio devices sitting on it.

To further investigate the matter, I went with my questions to the source, that is, to Peter Hansen, the head of Synergistic Research. Hi Wojtek, Thank you for your prompt reply. Please click the link below for an explanation on how the Tranquility Base works. LINK Please make sure to let the Tranquility Base be turned on with the component on top for at least 72 hours before doing any critical listening and also make sure to start with the Silver Enigma Tuning bullet in place.

You can experiment with the Gray Enigma Tuning Bullet later on, as it allows you to make the sound warmer if desired. The other set goes between the component and the Tranquility BASE and you can play around with the 2 different ways, either Ambient or Pinpoint, please see the MIG manual that came with them for instructions.

Any questions regarding this please let me know. Again VERY important. Look forward to hearing from you. All the Best, Peter Hansen. Stereo Sound Reference Record. Live at The Half Note , Impulse! Ludwig van Beethoven, Overtures , dyr. Japanese editions are available from. Granted, they were much, much more expensive, but better nevertheless.

I spent a lot of time with it, spinning CDs almost all the time and it really was time very well spent. And then there was that platform… But we will come back to it at the end of the test. The first impression can be misleading. It is, at first glance, quite warm sound. It also seems that the treble is withdrawn and warmed up, and the whole is dominated by midrange.

Well — I would not be surprised if many experienced audiophiles confirmed that in a listening room of an audio salon. It took me a few days before I came to what I can say now. There is top and there is low end, although midrange still seems to be slightly dominant. So where does that initial impression come from? I think from a certain inertia of my our perception system, based on our habits. Hearing something new just like seeing , our brain tries to fit that into familiar patterns, to find something that we already know.

That is where the phenomenon of visual hallucinations, etc. The same is true in audio. If we hear warm sound, we automatically associate it with withdrawn treble.

The better the recording, the better it came out. It was absolutely brilliant on recordings from the 50s and on a large part of SACD discs, regardless of time of their recording.

Treble amount can be estimated by listening to well-known recordings for the presence of sibilants and master tape noise. These, of course, belong to testing methodology and do not have much in common with everyday listening to music, but they are very helpful.

A little on the warm side. The said album is complete opposite. I know these and other recordings from original Capitola LPs as well as vinyl reissues by other labels and the vocal never sounds like it does here. And now listen — if a player has rolled off treble, withdrawn, fuzzy, or whatever else is wrong with it, Cole sounds warm. You can hear it instantly. The instrument was recorded in such a way that it exposes some of its higher frequencies, you can hear the bow, the cello is quite up front, as if helped a little by both acoustical environment and mic positioning.

That results in smooth, liquid sound that conveys impression of being warm. That impression, however, is derived from our habit of listening at home environment, especially to digital players. Yet there is another part to that story. We could say that it slightly calms it down.

Sometimes that leaves us with the impression of a bit distant sound. Due to its excellent resolution nothing really slips by, there is no veiling. Still, various recordings show similar character, i. And even though it indicates SACDs as the main media it was designed for, however, experience shows that our home collections are mostly built around CDs. The device plays both types of discs in a very similar manner, at least in terms of color.

Naturally, that is not as much the triumph of Compact Disc technology as the weakness of DSD mastering, but the fact remains nevertheless.

Their tonality is very deep and differentiated; cymbals have beautiful color and weight. And, importantly, bass is tight and active. It is slightly softened, but not in the way it once was with devices from Meitner. The Synergistic Research Tranquility Base is nominally an anti-vibration platform. In fact, however, that is secondary, as its primary role is to minimize RF noise in the device sitting on it. That is achieved by a set of small modules based, I assume, on Tesla coil — so function Synergistic Research mains filters.

The modules are powered by a small, wall-wart power supply, and the output current can be adjusted by plugging in small cylinders with blue LEDs — the platform comes with two of them. I could not hear any difference between them. Under the modules is a screen plate, to which you connect a wire fitted with a mains plug on the other end. Obviously, ground is coupled with earth pin. It is fairly easy to understand how it works, and even easier to hear it — just remove the power supply and unplug the earth wire.

The change in sound is quite substantial. The player sounded much better with plugged in, powered platform. The changes mostly concerned midrange and treble. Treble was richer, better separated, more vivid with the powered up platform. So was, too, midrange. I was very curious to see how the U. The difference in price between the two is double, and if anyone said that the AR is expensive, you should think twice about it… The emm Labs player sitting on the RAF platform sounded more austere.

It was perfectly audible, as I wrote above, that the Synergistic gives the sound some golden glow, showing treble in a cleaner, but also more saturated way.

DCS vivaldi upsampler User Manual

Printed from: HiFiForum. DP pris Yen. The article says that the main reason why the PCM conversion method was used up to now was in order to reduce noise in the ultra high-frequency range. The old method used on the DC apparently used digital filtering in the DSD-to-PCM conversion, then another analog circuit filter afterwards to make things "smoother". The DC apparently uses a "moving average" filter for SACD conversion comprising of 8 DAC circuits which are each shifted 1 "clock" from each other "clock" is not defined but clearly means 1 unit of format frequency, so for DSD this would be 1 step out of 2. This both lowers high frequency noise substantially and makes a cleaner analog signal. The effect is that DSD is upsampled to 5.

High End 2014: dCS, D’Agostino, Wilson and Transparent and a Breguet watch

Forum Rules. OK, I found the solution. I ran the Clean Scan in the Conductor app and retrieved all of the artwork back. After the Aurender update, I lost most of the album artwork thumbnails in the Conductor app. I have the latest version of the Conductor app installed.

How Do You Listen-Grill Covers On Or Off

Hello everybody. Projects Handled My DCS World 2. Best forums. Like resource balancing, the influx of development for the military and the problems with the old spaghetti code. GroundCrew June 25, , am 1.

Well I guess it's time to get some pictures up of how things stand at the present in The Fridge :eyebrows: Seeing as I totally messed up my previous gallery thread I guess a new one is in order :doh: The Fridge for those that don't know it is the nickname that Marco came up with spontaneously for my rack, I kind of like it - hense the thread name :D I really ought to get some kind of signature sorted out as well, but as things are going to change pretty shortly I reckon I'll leave that for the time being. As it is everything will be pulled out of the rack pretty shortly as there are going to be a few changes. Going to take a bit of thought as well, as there will be quite a lot of new equipment going in there :scratch: On with the pics
