Product Information

This provides valuable information about the quality of the audio being processed, allowing you to ensure the DAC is handling the audio at the correct sample rate.

Capacitors such as Panasonic FC/FM or Nichicon FG have their own unique character, so in some extent it can influence the sound of the device. My first conclusion was that the replacement from impulse power supply to stabilized power supply, is not such a clear and unambiguous jump into a better world.

Substantially the DAC itself has one 1000uF capacitor on its input (Panasonic FC), and 3000uF on the output of the power supply is only an enlargement of this capacity, because both capacities are connected by a wire/path, and are only found in other housings.

Not from today I know that the quality and repeatability of the production of integrated components leaves much to be desired and once again I became convinced ,when one of my colleagues decided to modify his device and sent me his specimen of the DAC.I hadn’t yet experienced the toxicity of the hobby and those who argue endlessly about this stuff that, in the grand scheme of things, means absolutely nothing. The comparison of MUSE ES and FineGold seems to me a good idea, because they are capacitors of the same class and the same company, so we can reject discrepancies resulting from technological differences. The midrange and the top gained more precision, which added more depth to the stage and better separation of sources.

Balanced audio can offer enhanced sound quality (depending on who you ask), and the K7 is designed to deliver just that. In the sockets that I use, the signal pin, it enters a brass or copper sleeve, which certainly provides a better connection quality than the “fork” shown in the picture below, which I took out from the factory set socket.With the Fujicon capacitors I already had contact during the modification of the AZUR 651A amplifier. Stu is determined to help you make sound decisions, and strives to deliver the best and most in depth content on the internet! I did give both of the Cambridge DACs a listen in my second system where they gave a creditable performance with the Lym Audio 1. Follow-up question for everyone: what was the piece of music you listened to that convinced you of the Cambridge's charms? The 200, with dual DAC chips, is almost certainly going to sound better than the 100, with better instrument seperation, image width etc, regardless of whether they share the same filters or not.
