Hopstretch Posted March 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 What the fuck is 384kHz? It involves Danish bacon and makes your music taste good, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusty Chalk Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 I've just added a 4th one to my list that I want to hear: DAD AX24 I found a price list: http://www.transaudiogroup.com/uploads/images/products/DAD/DAD_US090107_Pricelist.pdf Telarc just replaced all their Meitner gear with DAD and raved heavily about the improvement. Even selected them using a blind A/B. 384/24 vinyl drops DXD or DSD too.Hopefully they're better at getting product to their customers than Pyramix/Merging.

Dreadhead Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 Telarc International Adds Digital Audio Denmark's AX24 Converter to Its Recording Arsenal :: :: Musicians, Engineers and Producers Recording with the Mac Ever critical, Bishop repeated the blind A/B test when he returned to Telarc's home studios in Cleveland. Three producers and four engineers evaluated the DAD AX24 and all seven independently selected it as the best converter from among Telarc's cream-of-the-crop converters. "Ten sets of ears, five of which have earned Grammys and the remaining five of which have Grammys in their futures, all independently selected the DAD AX24 as the absolute state-of-the-art," Bishop summarized. "The AX24 is a truly exceptional piece of electronics." Although the new converter won't see its first "front line" action until later in September for a Live In-Session recording of Puccini's La Boh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dreadhead Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 Awesome -- you could do Telarc-quality needledrops. nope. I'll only by the DA not the AD. I won't even be the first: HRX playback using DAD AX24 | Computer Audiophile I'll only be using 24/96 so I'm not so concerned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grawk Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 The MR1 is a cool little box, but then you have to convert it to pcm (96/24, 192/24, or whatever). And the adc abd dac aren't gonna be on a par with what dotu is shopping for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chalk Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 Well, no, you don't have to convert it to PCM, but what you do have to do, if you want to hear it in native DSD, is play it back on the Korg itself, but that's about it. It's a good solution if you want to do nothing but record and playback, and nothing else. I sure hope you can offload the files, somehow, though.

grawk Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 It comes with software to offload the files. But you're still stuck with nearly useless files. DSD is awfully niche. The conversion software is apparently ok. But I'd still think what dotu is shooting for is higher end than this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopstretch Posted March 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 But I'd still think what dotu is shooting for is higher end than this. You could say that about absolutely anything under the sun and it'd still be true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deepak Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 It's true he'd have to convert it to PCM, but apparently the SQ recording to DSD is really good. I think he authors the high res PCM to DVD-A format for playback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voltron Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 You could say that about absolutely anything under the sun and it'd still be true. Sad. True, but sad. Is the link on Hoffman about the Korg MR-1000 or the MR-1? The MR-1000 has intrigued me for a year or so, and Sennheiser/Kimber had a couple of them at CanJam that they were using as sources. Is it really problematic from a format standpoint if it was simply used for A/D of high-rez needledrops? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grawk Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 Al, for anyone else, I'd say it's a good economical choice. But I know you have really high standards. I wouldn't be willing to bet the korg is better than the duet, for example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chalk Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 The article is about the MR-1, but there's also the MR-1000 and now the MR-2000S. But I agree with grawk -- look elsewhere. It's probably pretty high-end for its pricepoint, but otherwise limited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voltron Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 The Duet probably is good enough but it tops out at 96kHz and the 192kHz needledrop idea seems quite interesting. I know JP has recorded ours at 96 but I have heard them to compare with the 16/44 versions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreadhead Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 Well if you want AX24 goodness. I just got a quote for a DAC only with the highest end cards in it for $5990. Figure another 2k or so for 2 channels of DSD/DXD/384/192/etc... AD. Damn you Telarc... that review makes this look pretty attractive considering the "savings" compared to the Lavry Gold or even the Weiss.

aardvark baguette Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 I'm going to start a new thread about building a music server... Whatever you end up doing, back it up, back it up, back it up. data storage is quantum mechanics with a twist; it exists in 2 places simultaneously or it doesn't exist at all.

Dusty Chalk Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 ...the 192kHz needledrop idea seems quite interesting...I would start looking in the professional forums. M-Audio is just the entry level device for that. Apogee Rosetta would be a good choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
