mbain Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Does anyone know if the PK90 will operate with the Audio Research DAC 8? mbain Link to comment
Audio_ELF Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Any DAC that requires a driver generally is NOT compatible with Linux players such as Aurality. Having said that you could use PK90 plus a Wavelength Wavelink (or similar) or the PK100. Eloise Eloise --- ...in my opinion / experience... While I agree "Everything may matter" working out what actually affects the sound is a trickier thing. And I agree "Trust your ears" but equally don't allow them to fool you - trust them with a bit of skepticism. keep your mind open... But mind your brain doesn't fall out. Link to comment
mbain Posted November 29, 2011 Author Share Posted November 29, 2011 Eloise, Thank you very much for your response. I thought that was the case but needed confirmation. I have been following the posts on CA for one year and have noticed that your comments on most matters raised on this forum are well thought out, well expressed and generally on the mark. Thanks again Mark mbain Link to comment
mbain Posted December 4, 2011 Author Share Posted December 4, 2011 So who cares to venture a guess as to the best SQ...Mach2music Mac mini using USB to DAC 8 or Auralitl PK 100 using SPDIF to DAC 8? mbain Link to comment

mbain Posted December 4, 2011 Author Share Posted December 4, 2011 Priaptor, I believe from reading several of your past postings that you have a DAC 8. Feel free to correct me if I am incorrect. I am faced with the question of how to significantly upgrade my digital front end while employing the DAC 8 at the same time. Your thoughts as well as those of others would be greatly appreciated. I have considered the C.A.P.S. Server 2.0 however I have an iMac in another room and do not wish to run into operating system incompatibilities. mbain Link to comment
Priaptor Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 I am with you and will be trying a Wavelink and Alpha USB tethered to my Mini hooked to SPDIF to see if there is any improvement versus the DAC 8's own USB direct. Link to comment
mbain Posted December 4, 2011 Author Share Posted December 4, 2011 Keep me posted on your findings. Mark mbain Link to comment
