Okto Research DAC8 DSP

Mar 24, 20195830 VIEWS

I would like to see a drop of the Okto Research DAC8 DSP. I think that it would be a product that most in the community could benefit from; I certainly would. Edit: Now you would have to get two products I guess like the https://www.minidsp.com/products/dirac-series/ddrc-88d and the https://www.oktoresearch.com/dac8pro.htm Otherwise you would have to go with a different solution, like the "dbx DriveRack Venu360": https://dbxpro.com/en/products/driverack-venu360 Or you could go with the Danville Signal dspMusik 2/8 Multichannel DAC but I haven't seen any reviews of it and I can't find the price: https://www.danvillesignal.com/high-performance-audio/dspmusik-2-8-multichannel-dac#:~:text=The%20dspMusik%E2%84%A2%202%2F8,and%20access%20to%20special%20features. (I would like to know of alternatives to get DSP, digital crossover, and DAC functionality.)

This is a strong contender for being the best quality DAC in the world right now.

I'd also like this, but the one with raspberry pi in it... dac8 stereo.

Yep. I'd back that. (Only one of the three versions is no longer available.)

nick_tAround $1000 I believe. It would allow you to DSP correct and digitally crossover all before converting to analog (also no preamp needed). And it's analog output measures very clean. So you would have your digital source > this > amplifiers (don't need volume control or anything else) > speaker drivers (no passive crossovers needed)

I love how they say the "future of crossovers is digital" or you know the current state of pro audio... personally I would rather purchase a quality DAC and active crossover separately but I am a big fan of dedicated components.

What's the usual retail price? FYI they are no longer taking orders because one of the main chip/modules is no longer available. Sorry, but unlikely to see a drop.

Finding your groove: getting into vinyl with Audio-Technica

I’d like to think that I could’ve been friends with the late Hideo Matsushita, founder of Japanese Hi-Fi powerhouse Audio-Technica. If I could, I’d travel back in time to 1960’s Tokyo, where a young Matsushita curated “vinyl listening sessions” at the Bridgestone Museum of Arts, exposing visitors to the sounds and possibilities of high end audio and the warmth of vinyl records. I imagine sitting with him in a mod coffee shop, listening to the stories of what he witnessed in those sessions, the conversations he had with visitors, and what ultimately motivated him to head back to his small apartment above a ramen restaurant and start an audio company of his own. In the histories I’ve read regarding AT’s humble beginnings, Matsushita’s motives seem clear. Produce high end audio at affordable prices, bringing audio excellence into spaces and to customers that simply didn’t have access to it before. His first two products, the AT-1 and AT-3 phono cartridges did exactly that, and...

Big changes coming to my tiny little music room, I've recently purchased a new stack. Currently figuring out where to locate it all and ordering up the necessary cables, it won't be too long before I'm up and running. I am now the proud owner of a brand new stack. It's a European brand called Earmen. Amp, DAC, Streamer & Linear Power Supply. It won't be long!

Sennheiser PC37X randomly goes bad after disconnecting the cable ?

Greetings, Yesterday I was using my headset like normal with my macbook, just listening to music and on a call with people like usual, and the headset was perfectly fine. The stock wire that came with the headset is extremely long and yesterday it annoyed me very much that it kept getting tangled with itself, so I decided to see if the cable is replaceable. I pulled out the cable from the headset and saw the adapter, and looked online for a replacement. Upon plugging it back in, the audio sounded extremely muffled and washed out. Im not sure what I did wrong to make it mess up like that as I've always taken good care of it, ive had it for about 2 years and its always just been chilling on my desk, but anywho I thought the cable just went bad and ordered a replacement. The replacement came, and the issue is still persistant, so I am not sure what the issue is I've tried multiple different headsets and the issue is not with the port, and I also tried it with my windows laptop and...

Recommendation for my next headphone set? I have Koss 95x

Hey all, What would you recommend I get next and why? I have Koss ESP-95x electrostatic massdrop headphones. These are my first and only audiophile set. I love them. I think my only real requirements is $500 or less for the headphones and that they have a little more low end. I don’t need thump but these are really light on lows…but the experience is still awesome. Also any recommendations on an amp? I only have my electrostatic thingy. I am using the Topping D50 DAC. thx!!

Should I exchange the PC38X for better headphones?

I bought the PC38X headphones FOR GAMING and they are great, but I have NO use for a Microphone since I don't do competitive gaming and I was wondering if there were better headphone options at a similar price without a headphone, where (presumably) more of the cost was put into making it sound better. I also find that my PC38X don't get quite as loud as I would like and I was wondering if a cheap amp like the iFi Go link would draw a little more volume out of my phones. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BN6MM822?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details I went with the PC38X since it was considered the best bang for buck headphones. I care most about using spatial apps like DOlby Atmos and DTS Headphone:X. Suggestions are welcome.
