Allen : how come DSD doesn't need a DAC? Doesn't that mean SACD is analog? - SnaggS 21:00:50 09/06/06 (29)

It's a matter of semantics... - Ted Smith 22:33:42 09/06/06 (28)

Yep, plus bypassing a DAC is not necessarily a good thing ... - Christine Tham 15:36:37 09/07/06 (27)

so that the slew rate limited circuit is doing most ...) - Allen Wright 03:12:33 09/08/06 (26)

My pre-amp will have 9db of gain. Do you think I'll be ok? - SnaggS 21:58:57 09/07/06 (5)

Inadequate data to solve the question. - Allen Wright 04:31:16 09/08/06 (4)
