Question
All
I have one of Peter's premium dac kits which is up and running after some minor trouble shooting( Thanks, Peter!). Is there any breaking in time for such gear-or does it perform 100% right away?
It's working fine- just wondered. I have read about devices needing many hours of breaking in before the listener reaches "Audio Nirvana"!
TIA
George

Got Acourate?
Give that PC a workout in the interest of audio!
Savvy DIY enthusiasts with a PC or an Intel Mac should check out Acourate.com and try the software with the 30 day free trial. This is an unbelievably powerful program.
Perhaps run a room correction scenario first, the go to a digital xover and multi-amp with PD GainClones!
I've been gradually learning from Uli, the designer of Acourate, on a private forum. Brilliant.
Replace your xovers with perfect, phase coherent versions, make your speakers truly time and phase coherent, and correct your room all with one powerful program.
(Warning, rather DIY, and perhaps not for the software timid, but clearly well worth the learning curve. I'm just finally digging in deeper.)
http://www.acourate.com/
Will blow your mind. Acourate is just now leaving Beta for human consumption.
Watch this tutorial first:
Acourate LogSweep Generation and Convolution

This technology will soon change everything.

Noisy my but this machine is silent. The fans have there own cpu to witch controls each zone per fan It's a fast and nice. Altho a mac mini with a converted and altered os to turn on sharing and stuff would be nice. My old g3 was like that only a ethernet cord and power cord was used.

Hi Peter et al,
Does the AS NOS DAC accept 16 bits/48Khz data or just strictly a 16/44.1 DAC? I've got an Edirol R-09 with several 16/48 demo tracks. After uploading them to my hard drive I attempted to play them through the squeeze box transporting to the DAC. All I hear is white noise. A search in Slim Device indicates that the SB can do 16/48 (well up to 24/96).
Someone please shed some light on this.

White noise very often means total mismatch of digital formats - not only sample rates. The AS NOS-DAC can handle stereo 32 - 48kHz/16bit files.
Did you check your file format? The R-09 can handle mp3 (compressed) and wav(uncompressed), 16 or 24bit, 44.1 and 48kHz. How did you upload the files to your PC?
