"LP, yes definitely the best for me."
"For me, playing LP is an art for music reproduction. "
Indeed, even though I may toy with the DAC, R2R, CD/Network and Cassette Tapes I am still mainly a vinyl man.
No question about that!!

Cat5e (ISO/ IEC 11801 standard) --> Notebook (AMD Ryzen 7) + external SSD --> USB --> Mutec (ASIO) --> AES --> DAC/ Preamp
OS: Windows 10, Audirvana + Qobuz
Windows setting does affect sonic performance, basic modification such as battery performance, sole user account setup..... For sure no antivirus/ VPN when playing.
LP, yes definitely the best for me. - #1382 [Springroll], 24-04-05 03:41#1372
Haha 兄,小弟用 micro PC 係因佢夠細,can hide anywhere to get rid of bad WAF effect... hahaha... thus I envy the private man cave of yours and fotheringay 兄 :P
其實而家 cpu processing power 已經非常 powerful. Computer size doesn't matter any more. 但最好用 desktop cpu model, 因為 laptop 用嘅 mobile cpu model 為遷就 low power consumption 係會 trade off processing performance, 對一啲 high cpu processing power demand 嘅 Music file playback app, 如 HQPlayer, 係會影響 sound modulation performance。而家新一代啲 cpu,should be more than enough for the job. Even less fan noise due to lower heat as well. - #1381 [hahayanyan], 24-04-05 03:23Spring hing
your so called limited and not so update knowledge , already having so much info for me to start
i do have choices... either having some sort of mesh wifi network to my playroom or hard wire CAT 6 cable network
i shall look into that Plex and HQplayer over the weeekend
thx thx thx
最後修改時間: 2024-04-05 03:24:29 - #1380 [Springroll], 24-04-05 03:10Indeed, for playing digital music , there are some ideas:
- gigabit network wired connection for streaming HiRes music
- get rid of wireless network connection among components because variable network transmission latency causing poor sound performance (variable data packet transmission intervals exist regardless what WiFi speed being used)
- play local music files always performs much better than streaming from internet currently
- if using USB DAC, the length of USB cable should be less than 1 meter, which is the industrial USB standard for ensuring error-free data transmission via USB.
- I don't believe those network components priced thousands dollars with HiFi terms. Just using qualified industrial standard products are error proof enough for data transmission
- Computing technology do have error checking/rectification protocol and mechanism in data transmission to ensure the received data files are exactly the same without bit error. There are DACs USB driver input allowed to adjust the buffer/cache to have received the audio file fully before starting decoding/modulation. This assures error free music data file recieved and minimized any data transmission issues caused by up-stream streaming application and network connection, and thus less performance influence caused by whatever steaming application used. This requires the DAC's own specific USB driver to configure i it appropriately. Whether you like the sound then only depends on the oversampling/filter/modulation and analog output from the DAC itself, but not from where/what application it send the music file. Though this real time audio streaming technical protocol is still not advanced enough to fully achieve perfect USB Audio streaming for best sound performance yet.... because the small HiFi market segment is never the digital music market focus.
For me, playing LP is an art for music reproduction. May be one day I'll come back to play vinyl again :) - #1379 [Springroll], 24-04-05 00:50Basically, 以我所知, Windows still provides the most capable and flexible HiRes sample rate for audio input and output interface, second by Linux, and then Mac OS. 雖然 Windows 本身一路都被批評有太多 built-in over-head process 會影響音質,但以而家嘅 latest super processing power 黎講,呢啲基本上已經 negligible, 但當然,有啲基本 Windows settings fine tuning 仍然可以做去 optimize application performance. 加上 Windows 嘅 user friendly interface, 基本上家用嘅都已經好輕易 setup 同非常唔錯效果。
Linux 相對大部份用家未必熟悉如何自己 setup, 且絕大部份 DAC 廠家都唔會特別為 Linux platform customize DAC driver, 故 can only use standard Linux built-in USB Audio drivers for most DAC, 未必能 fully utilize 部 DAC 嘅feature 同 performance,如 native DSD256/DSD512;但因開源免費,基本上現時所有廠製 Streamer 都係用 Linux 底裝 streaming application, 普遍用 volumio。
Mac 有用家話比 Windows 好聲 (其實 Mac user 甚少會用番 Windows),但 Mac OS sample rate 同播 native DSD stream 有 limitation, 在我而家擁有 both high sample rate HiRes file of PCM and DSD 黎講,並唔係首選。
在小弟現用 Windows 10 上,常用 Plex Media Player (PCM) 同 HQPlayer (DSD upsample) 播歌,試用過 foobar, jriver, audiorvana, library or sound performance or DSD support 總未如理想,權衡音質,features, 易 management and user-friendly, 及 DSD support 度, 暫時以 Plex 及 HQPlayer 已能滿足小弟現時要求。但玩 application 要留意 version changes 對音質影響,如發燒友覺得 Plex 音質一般,其實 Plex 舊 version 音質較好,尤以 Plex Media Player 最後幾個 version 最好。如單以音質計,我會推介 HQPlayer, 尤以 DSD256/DSD512 upsample 計。
以上皆 according to my limited and not quite updated knowledge, 有錯請指正。 - #1378 [Hifi-bowling], 24-04-04 22:23To me, the LP sounds better as compare to digital sounds, you got a fuller/solid body of the singer.
有肉地啲, same issue as film/digital pictures. - #1377 [hahayanyan], 24-04-04 21:48At this moment...
I am using foobar or squeezbox, files from a workstation notebook. And USB cable to either a topping d50s, or a China DAC with a 9038 chip
以上所有嘅配搭 冇覺得難聽, do feel the foobar may sound nicer, may be the squeezbox do not have the adequate plug in yet
My standard 1.5 meter molex usb cable seem better Than my diy USB 3.5.meters cable..., however.. 兩條線都冇覺得難聽
My old meridian 800 cd playing seem 好聽好多嘅, however 可能就係使用感及心理作用
尤其是缺乏control for comparison.. 所以任何嘢都不能作準, 最重要係
1) 完全冇覺得難聽 after setting up the foobar with some plug in
2) 好似有可以有好多嘅進步空間 ( 如果有日發燒起都幾好玩)
Especially the topping and China DAC 我都係幾百蚊港紙二手買返嚟嘅
我完全唔信自己喺唔同setting之下有認知地嘅比較... Haha
都研究咗過幾兩個禮拜.. 先至搞到覺得唔難聽
I can spend 20 mins to set up a table with a cheap MM.... 就覺得幾好聽
But so many interesting music out there which I will not buy LP for. Those music...
Better learn more from experience users...
Haha
可能又係心理作用

More from my cheap SACD/CD/Network Player.
Also, as I mentioned about Liz Story earlier for reference. - #1375 [Hifi-bowling], 24-04-04 18:58My cheap cheap cheap streaming setup
Wi-Fi to iPad Pro, Tidal Hifi Plus account, unknown USB C - USB-B cable to SMSL DO300, XLR to Burmester Rondo integrated, to clone 3/5A
I’d quit digital music since I bought my LP12 in the Millennium, my last DAC was a Wadia 12 which has the strongest character I’d ever came across.
I can only say the digital music reproduction goes a long way since then, the SMSL DO300 performance is almost top tier DAC in my dates with only a fraction of the cost, and a PRC made. You could never imagine. - #1374 [Hifi-bowling], 24-04-04 18:44Check this out, these guys are advance class in digital music streaming.

I am going the cheap way to get more into digital playing.
It was more than 20 years since I last bought a CD player so I fancy upgrading to a new one.
Not just a normal CDP but one can play SACD, USB and streaming and most of cheap!!!
Starting to play with USB and using FLAC files from a friend and I think this ARCAM is just doing OK, so far.

上星期,難得跟無見面幾年嘅大姊跟姊夫相聚大半日,很有“復活節”嘅意味。。。哈~~
一個六十開外嘅女人仔,伴隨大女一家三年前湊住個孫女移居英倫,英文都唔識多個,從無諗過要離開土生土長,一生最愛嘅故地。。。
我劈頭第一句就問:“習慣未?” 佢苦笑:“梗係唔慣啦。。。” 淡然一句,道盡了許多毫無心理準備忽地要移居他鄉嘅心聲。儘管如此,大姊話佢而家正在上緊英文班,希望可以同其他 local 可以簡單溝通,這我可是很感動同敬佩!
生活本就不易,但亦無想像中難,取決於你有無決心繼續向前行!
突然,想起 “英倫琵琶” 嘅 “邁步向前”,頗應景;戲,很喜歡,歌,更是 one of my most favorites!!
