Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] DAC Upgrade. Weiss DAC202 (Minerva) or Berkeley Alpha?

2010-03-08 Thread pipetman
Initially, everywhere I looked the Berkeley was heralded as the latest and greatest. But more recently, I read comments on various forums to the effect that it's lacking a bit of warmth (compared to the Bryston in particular). While all that is highly subjective, of course, the initial hype seems

[SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Bit perfect SqueezePlay and WASAPI support?

Hi Not sure if this is the correct place to post this, but I figured ppl on here would know! ;-) I really like having SqueezePlay as a soft SB player for my PC, however bit-perfect playback support via WASAPI in Vista, Windows 7 etc. seems to be getting common in other s/w players e.g.

I think the latest version of portaudio supports WASAPI - I've not tried though. Another reason to look at this though... -- Triode Triode's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17 View this thread:

downloaded test files and ran all but the 24 bit/ 96000 files worked, now I thought that the 88.2 Khz files would not work but that the 24/96 Khz would, this seems strange since the stero review Mag review on the transporter said that it was the other way around. thanks gimell.com for the test

I use a musical fidelity A3-24 DAC with the duet. The squeezebox sounds much better with the DAC. Imaging and detail are very good and the combo sounds better than my entry level NAD cd player. The bass is very tight and much more defined with the DAC. I do not consider myself to be an
