Hi there,
Time for a change I'm going back to ATC 150's actives with Anniversary
amplifiers fitted so I thought I'd go for the Audiant D32 Pre-Amp
because the thought the Transporter may benefit from one of the latest
DAC's but a question can I connect the Transporter to the Pre-Amp is it
I actually use a BNC to AES/EBU 75ohm To 110ohm impedance transformer to
connect the hardwired 75ohm cable from my Touch to the AES/EBU input of
my DAC. It sounds better than going from the 75ohm cable to the 50ohm
RCA input. Maybe it's because of the impendance transformer instead of
the abrupt

You can't actually switch off the TP's DAC, but of course you can ignore
it - just connect a digital output on the

Quick question:
My outboard DAC accepts 24/192 via AES or Coax digital inputs. The
Transporter downconverts (right word?) 24/192 to 24/96 as I understand
it in order to play 24/192, but will it pass native 24/192 to an
outboard DAC via digital outs?
Much appreciated!
^ Tell me more!! Please. I have never heard of such an xfmr before, but
I should have known they existed...
The AES/EBU sounds better here too. Has an open-ness and a sense of the
music coming out of infinite blackness; very noticeable when other
DACs/inputs *don't* have it. I have not opened
Hi there,
Many thanks gentlemen, I think one of my thoughts was making use of the
D32 DAC and the feeling of safety in using a Pre Amp, I guess it will be
play time again next week, yippee, nut then not liking the thought of
unpacking from their crates the ATCs again.
CliveB please can I ask
Hi there,
Thanks Clive we have had the conversation before when I last bought my
ATC Anniversaries.
I remember then thinking no I dont want to do that hence the Rothwell
attenuators, I knew they would come in useful sometime.
Will report back on my trials and tribulations sometime in the
As a European music lover, I mostly object to the so-called
convenience of iTunes or any other service: it's almost impossible for
me to get good music legally + lossless. Quite a lot of the stuff on
hdtracks for instance is interesting to me, but strictly speaking I'm
forbidden to buy it, as I'm

The prevailing wisdom asserts that no RCA termination will give a true
75 ohm result. Then again if the source and DAC were designed to be
impedance optimized with the RCA jacks then this wouldn't really matter.
Unfortunately impedance was not a design characteristic of the RCA
Depends.
For studio albums I couldn't care less about lossless since they are all
mixed for mp3 these days anyway, so there's no difference.
Live recordings, however, are a different issue.

So far as I know, decent music stores do not exist here either. Even
back when stock was deep, employees were shallow.

I recently installed Fidelizer on my Win7 server PC (LMS installed) and
I hear a definite improvement in SQ. I am thinking that this should not
be the case as the SBT buffers incoming data. One assumes that the data
itself is not affected by Fidelizer. So what's going on?
