Join Computer Audiophile At Century Stereo

Hi Jon - I'd love to see you come out for the event. Hope you can make it.

This is where I bought my stuff, including Nova.

Wonderful :~)

So when you coming to England? :-)

I actually had a tentative plan to be there in for an event August, but the chances are looking slim right now.

I'm planning to attend, mainly to meet you, Chris.<br />

Fantastic :~)

Hi Chris. Any chance you could do an event on the east coast, preferably in NC? <br />

You need to come to Miami or at least Fort Lauderdale and give your presentation. Beaches, warm weather, sand, basketball players.<br />

Hi Guys - I'd love to visit NYC and Miami to spend time talking computer audio in neat cities. Let me see what I can do. I have something in mind.

Thanks for the presentation. I had to leave before the ending (45 minute drive home through the Santa Cruz mountains) so I didn't get a chance to say hello. I was thinking about the Amarra/iDecco glitch. I don't have Amarra, and I have a Nova (which I think has the same DAC). I can only output 48kHz from my computer. If I try to set it to 96kHz, no sound comes out. I assumed this was because the Nova can sample up to 96kHz, so the input can only be 1/2 that (Nyquist). Otherwise I just get silence. I wonder if you were running into a similar sort of limitation?

It was nice meeting you last night, Chris. I enjoyed both presentations immensely. I do live recording in the San Francisco/San Jose Bay Area, and am very interested in all aspects of digital audio. Obviously, my interests are more geared toward the A to D side of the equation than to the D to A or music "server" side.<br />

<br />

Presently, I have forsaken my laptop computer as my digital "recorder" in favor of a Korg MR-1. This cigar-case sized digital recorder takes balanced inputs, and records in DSD (Direct Stream Digital or SACD format) at 2.8 MHz sampling rate and single bit. The software that comes with the recorder, which is called "AudioGate" allows the DSD file to be output in ANY digital format from 24-bit, 192 KHz all the way down to 16-Bit Redbook. When I transfer the files from the Korg to my computer, I archive the file to DVD-R as an AIFF for safety (the Korg uses an HDD) and output it to 24/192 DVD-A for my own listening use using DiscWelder Bronze software. The results are spectacular.

Sorry I didn't make it, but something important came up at the last minute. I do look forward to meeting you someday, Chris.<br />

Thanks for coming to San Jose. I rely enjoyed meeting you and hearing some of the new tech in the computer audio world. <br />
