![]() which is already higher than most tweeters. Mmmm, your understanding of 'things' seems to be vastly different to mine, D.ĪIUI, 192kHz sampling has a Nyquist frequency of 96kHz - vastly higher than my Maggie ribbons, which are specced to 40kHz . I could use analogue active XOs - and no subs (which is what I used to have) - but the move to subs & digital has delivered a significant improvement in my listening. Given implementing subs properly requires delay to be applied to the Maggies (the subs are about 1.5m further away from my ears than the Maggie bass panels). Then I have a D2A transfer to feed my amplifier channels. My CDP and DAB+ tuner are already in digital format - so no transfer is required. The A2D converter on my phono stage is a single transfer to digital (at a higher quality than that provided by the chips that miniDSP use). Given I need to input a digital signal into my miniDSP - which provides me with HP/LP filters for my active spkrs ( and provides the delay required to integrate subs) plusvery helpful room EQ: Adding a turntable to the mix makes very little difference.ĭon't see where ' triple processing my signal ' comes from? OK - I can see the point, but in that case you are already triple processing your signal anyway. I also have no real idea, other than 'quality reflected in price', of how to judge the quality of ADC once you get into the 24bit 192kHz etal resolution outputs. The Uwe Beis kit ADC that uses - also a competent solution if you have the skills and appetite to build. Mytek Brooklyn ADC (I think still available) - but now we are up into the $3k plus arena of top end IMHO Replaced by Stellar Phono that does not have ADC PA Audio NuWave Phono (discontinued) - highly regarded but scarce in second hand market. It is expecting a PC on the other end for recording and won't drive a USB to TOSLINK/SPDIF converter for easy integration into a digital pre-amp.Īlpha Design Labs GT40 alpha Phono stage and ADC (around $850) - phono stage got some poor reviews but ADC seems solid Schiit Jil (discontinued) - competent at mid level but limited to USB out. ![]() The Rega Phono mini A2D, and its NAD (and Pro-Ject I think) counterparts - competent in entry level systems The $50 to $80 48kHz/96kHz consumer electronics store style - I bought one for testing and not impressed Mid level for me is solid Phono preamp around Rega Fono MM/MC level.įrom what I can tell the landscape looks something like: And I am thinking integration for day-to-day playing of vinyl, not just for connection to computer for digitising. Have been working through an issue that has come up in a number of threads recently - analogue to digital converters for integrating vinyl into digitally based, mid level systems.
