Pretty much. Since I wouldn't use the built-in DAC's in a DVD player
or CD player.


why not??



'cos he's as bad as the Kimber cable crew. Nath thinks that just cos
he's got a Lexicon MC processor the DACS in it must be better than
anything built into a CD or DVD player. Of course he doesn't take into
bad clock synchronisation or jitter, both of which can be massively
enhanced by using an offboard DAC.

Nathan talks the talk, but at the end of the day what he knows about
audio you could write on the back of a fag packet. Just ask him to
recommend any item for a max budget of £250 and watch him come back
suggesting something with a price of £550 because his 'dealer' heard one
once and decided it's the dogs ********.

At then end of the day don't listen to the audio opinions of someone who
listens to Madonna.

Oh did you know Nathan has an SVS subwoofer? I know he keeps quiet about
it so thought I better tell you.

Nope. Where have I said the DAC's in the MC-1 are better than those in a
good quality CD player? I haven't. MORE BULL****. I do not use the MC-1 for
"Hi-Fi"

So what? Do you own one? Have you heard one?

TROLL.



Nath March 20th 04 09:25 PM

Oh yeah anyone with a brain will realize using a CD player's DAC's and
sending analogue audio is not ideal, as the MC-1 digitizes all analogue
inputs prior to bass management.

You've already said you use an off board DAC, you've already said you
wouldn't use the DACS in a CD or DVD player (you made no mention of
'quality') thereby implying that you considered any of your offboard
DACS (including the preamp you mentioned) as superior. Most hifi buffs
accept that offboard DACS add as little to overall sound as fancy cables
or the like. Snake oil Nathan.

Oh, and yes I have heard an SVS sub, about three weeks ago in NYC and I
was very impressed with it - however I've heard better subs for the
same money (the SVS is not musicak in the least - great for HC but I
wouldn't let it near real music).

Of course, real music is not something you would know about - with your
Madonna, overcompressed for FM radio tripe. Sheesh you are a worm.

Old age setting in? I said "are better than those in a good quality CD
player?" I have compared the sound quality from the analogue outputs from
the CD player and DVD player. Pretty poor overall. My external DAC and those
in the MC-1 offer far superior to the crappy sound from the CD & DVD Player.

Read my thread regarding the Lexicon digitizing analogue inputs.. really the
MC-1 is best for digital sources (digital out from CD, DVD, DAB etc)

Oh, and yes I have heard an SVS sub, about three weeks ago in NYC and I
was very impressed with it - however I've heard better subs for the
same money (the SVS is not musicak in the least - great for HC but I

That's great, since I now use the SVS only for films- I did use the SVS for
music for a bit, but removed the cable from the integrated to the SVS (will
use the Rel for music)

Which SVS model did you hear?


Of course, real music is not something you would know about - with your
Madonna, overcompressed for FM radio tripe. Sheesh you are a worm.

I have a pretty wide variety of music taste... Madonna is just one I listen
to. You trying to be a elitest ?(oooh you listen to Beethoven, so must put
down other people)

Not ideal? It's what it is designed for. I would far prefer analogue out
from the CD direct into my Naims rather than using an inferior
multi-purpose DAC in amy AV amp.


Agreed. That's why I said I don't use the MC-1 for Hifi.

Ah there goes that fascination with bass again. It's a shame you
wouldn't know what bass is supposed to sound like even if it came up to
you and stapled itself to your SVS (though of course due to the regular
close proximity there could of course be collateral damage to your
dick).


Clueless.

This coming from a man with a mid-woofer who stuffed the single port with a
towel..and before you even try to think of a way of snapping back (SVS's
allow port tuned) - they CAN because they have several ports (PC Plus).
Strange how the PCi cannot be plugged, as it has a single port. Something
should click in your miniscule brain. I guess loosing the loss of feeling in
your legs has moved into your brain.

Is your real name Arnold Judas Rimmer?

(which currently is only reinforcing my main speakers below 40hz).

PDR-10 = 42-115Hz +/-3.3dB.

PDR-10 is good to 42hz, and that's at 10% THD...anything below that will be
at a higher THD

Would
that be the midwoofer I've regularly pilloried with regard to its
quality?


Oh you mean the quote where you said "boomy bass" that Max found the link to
a while back?
