Thanks sir streetsmart :) the polyglass line is the entry level set focal has after the access. it has focal's signature crispy highs but i find the midbass just ok. not really that impressive. some of my friends in kac describe the sound as aggressive. the highs can be contained though. i think as a standard, most polyglass seps have their passives set on a -3db setting for easier listening.

i heard from master raz, you are running utopias sir. yan sir ang tunay na gear :) thank you sir for visiting my page :)

Curious lang ako sa car audio. I just wonder how it sounds ... while stationary and while moving. I guess it's a huge challenge cuz of the small space and the background noise of the car and street. It would be nice to have a Focal and Alpine setup with Audyssey MultEQ XT: http://www.audyssey.com/solutions/auto.html

Any time you want to come over to the house, just send me a PM ... basta dalhin mo kotse mo para audition ko rin.  ;D ;D

Thank you sir BlurayHD. Regarding the dual sub, i think the only advantage is:
* Bass would sound louder so easier to fill a larger room

Disadvantages are:
* You need to use 2 identical subs
* Low end extension stays the same. No effect on it.
* More space wasted

For smaller rooms sir, I think a single good sub would do. :)

This is not exactly right. Multiple subs are needed to even out the bass frequency response. Please see the following: http://www.aes.org/tmpFiles/elib/20110426/13680.pdf

Post by: blurayhd on Apr 27, 2011 at 10:51 AM
If multiple Subs, Can I match a fabricated Sub with a branded Sub? What would be the concequences if subs are not identical? I was having the idea of a DIY sub for the 2nd sub setup

The subs don't have to be identical but they should be similar in specs.

Some minor updates in MyRoom Theater...

Added a curtain to control the lighting in my room. hahaha! :)
(http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f317/sientobente/update003.jpg)

Got an old and ignored La-Z-Boy from our den and had it re-upholstered in leatherette. Now I don't get those back-aching moments while doing movie marathons on my NMT. Plus, I added food upgrades to complete the experience  ;D
(http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f317/sientobente/update004.jpg)

I also got this ottoman where it can store my box of Pron  :o
(http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f317/sientobente/update005.jpg)

Replaced my subwoofer cables to Strandtz cables with Amphenol plugs
(http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f317/sientobente/update002.jpg)

Upgraded my speaker wiring to longer and thicker wires(gauge 12). Sorry for the uninspired pic---- It just came to me that taking pictures of messy wires are boring :D

@louie_18
thanks master louie :) regarding the sound, it's the same actually. I think mas reliable lang yung makapal na wires coz madaling maputol yung mga wires ko dati when i remove them from the terminals. but there are actually wires that can help you get the sound you are aiming for, for example ito na tinitignan ko kahapon sa watts hifi:
http://www.tcicables.com/sidewinder.asp
i heard this can add warmth to your speakers but it's freaking expensive. it cost nga lang P1,800 for 1.5m cable.

@beginner
idol raz, leatherette lang ginamit. it's softer than regular leather. yung importante sa akin madaling linisin.

@corpsegrinder
sir, dun sa speaker cable sa diy store ko lang siya binili. yung pinakamakapal na wire na available yung binili ko. parang P40/feet ata yung nasa right. mas mahal siya compared dun sa left pero pareho sila ng gauge. mas maganda lang itsura nung sa right. at hindi ko pa siya kinakabitan ng banana plugs kasi parang masakit ipasok yung banana sa sa butas ng mga female terminals. :)

sa subwoofer cable, the strandtz wire cost P70/meter then the amphenol plugs cost P150 each.

oo master louie, parang mabibiyak yung butas kapag pinilit ipasok yung banana kasi pasok na pasok siya. baka malaspag kaagad yung female este terminal.  ;) so regular frayed wires muna ako.

mali pala yung link ko kanina. audioquest sidewinder cables yun nakita ko kahapon.

Finally had the time to update my page and take pics due to the holidays  :D

Sadly, I sold my Mission M33i to a friend hoping I can upgrade it to an M35i. But as luck would have it, no stocks of the M35i anywhere. So it made me decide to get a different set.
(http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f317/sientobente/psb02.jpg)
I got an all PSB speaker setup. An Image T6 for the front, an Image C5 for my center and an Alpha B1 as my surrounds. Prior to purchasing these speakers, I have auditioned the older Image T65 from Watts Hifi last year. I loved it. It was the benchmark sound I have for an all-in-one speaker for music. Wide soundstage. Was very balanced. Highs are extended and smooth plus you will never run out of tight bass. When the opportunity came to change my speakers, I had to look at more mainstream brands first. I researched, auditioned and even sought advice from Master Idols like StageA. Coincidentally, based on my cheap-ass budget, things seem pointed to the Image T6 which was the newer version of the T65. It's slimmer than it's predecessor, more aesthetically pleasing to look at while retaining all the strengths of the T65. So that made me decide to get it. Thus, the updates in Page 1  :)

Panalo Master Paul yung Musiland 01 + NAD 326BEE combo. No regrets in getting it. Kagabi ko pa ito pinapakailaman and hanggang ngayong umaga naka ngiti pa rin ako by the difference it has vs just using an avr or using a regular dvdp + the integ. amp.

I like the equalizer controls of the Musiland software that was included. Champion! I'm hoping to post more detailed reviews about it  ;)

hehehe, tama master sad for the wallet budget meal  ;D must-try talaga yung musiland, before i wasn't really a believer in the capability of an external DAC, but the musiland really impressed me. If you want a darker/warmer sound, the 01 is for you.  ;)

Just wanted to share my impressions on the Musiland Monitor 01US I got from Watts Hifi
(http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f317/sientobente/musilandmonitor01.jpg)

I got to listen to a few DACs in action before, CA DacMagic, SuperPro DAC, NAD DAC 1 etc. but it never got into my wishlist. Until a month ago, I happen to chance upon the 3 Kings(Don Ivan, Don Paul, Don Nelson) demoing the Musiland 03 in Watts Hifi. That's where the I was able hear the difference of what an external DAC can really do.

Using a laptop, straight from the 3.5mm jack plugged into a NAD 326BEE, the sound was ok in terms of clarity. Using the Musiland 03 via USB on the same int. amp the sound immediately became a lot livelier. Night and day difference. The sound was thicker and expressed more details. Those instruments at the background of the music was more audible. It me realize how the 1st setup was too laid back. Master Ivan explained that it's natural for a 3.5mm jack to sound that way because it only has a low output.

The next test was to use an entry level CDP(NAD 515BEE) and the same amp. The details you would hear coming from Musiland 03 are still more pronounced than using the cdp. Master Ivan's advice was, the laptop can become a good cdp because it can produce less jitter and can read files much faster than a regular cdp. Plus another advantage was it can play various music formats. So this made me think about it--- getting an external dac will save me more money compared to getting an entry level cdp.

Why did I end up with the 01 instead of the 03? I find the 01 leaning more towards the warmer side which was my sound preference. Now at home, I tried the dvdp + int. amp vs Musiland 01 + int. amp. I guess you know which one won. It's a no contest.  ;D

So if you'd like to experience hifi sound at a bargain price, the Musiland Monitor DACs are highly recommended  :)

Salamat po for purchasing a Musiland, Master Gerard.

the laptop can become a good cdp because it can produce less jitter and can read files much faster than a regular cdp. Plus another advantage was it can play various music formats. So this made me think about it--- getting an external dac will save me more money compared to getting an entry level cdp.

It's not really lower jitter, but the negative effects of jitter can be minimized with proper clock recovery by using the right gear. Read errors can also be corrected in a PC setup, as the data is normally read ahead of playback (instead of being read from the media in real-time, as with most dedicated players). This tends to make PCs more forgiving of less than perfect media.

The greatest advantage of a PC-based playback system is format and storage flexibility, which of course comes at the expense of convenience. Kanya kanya lang yan. :)

Title: Re: My Happy Budget Meal Setup
Post by: sientobente on Apr 29, 2012 at 08:43 AM
Here are my findings. Disclaimer: This is a very subjective review.
(http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f317/sientobente/CA004.jpg)

Cambridge Audio Azur 550A

Let me start with the build and heft of the 550A. Dimension wise, it will take more space than the NAD. Lifting this amp would give you a good work out. It's really heavy and build quality wise, I like the materials used on the face because it's using an aluminum trim unlike in NAD where the face is kinda like plastic. Features-wise, the CAP5 is nice and helpful. These actually alerted me when my Onkyo AVR were still plugged into my T6. Plus this amp has an option to go Speaker A & B.

How does it sound?
I find the CA550A a bit laid back compared to the C326BEE. The first time I listened to these amps were in 5th Avenue paired with an MS Mezzo 2. They were very forward, agressive and dynamic. But this time around, paired with my T6, it was a bit relaxed. What remained imposing was it's midrange voice. It creates an image where it seems the background instruments are separated from the singer. Was this because the 550A  isn't powering my T6 enough juice? Or that forward sound I listened to from 5th Ave. was basically a trait of the Mezzo?

I tried my other set of speakers, a Mission M31i. These speakers of mine were notoriously known not to produce smooth highs using my Onkyo AVR. But I actually liked the Mission sound mainly because it produces a really warm sound which tickles my ears just fine. Now powered by the 550a, I'm surprised that those dome tweets has some capability. I listened to some familiar tunes, the sound definitely had strength which is very evident on the vocals but comparing these to my T6, it lacks the details of the latter. Can't blame my cheap-ass Mission M31i.

Title: Re: My Happy Budget Meal Setup
Post by: sientobente on Apr 29, 2012 at 08:52 AM
(http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f317/sientobente/C326BEE-1.jpg)
NAD C326BEE
I initially was eyeing the more expensive C356BEE DAC  because of the features it has. It was rated at 80wpc compared to the 326 which is only 50wpc and it has a built-in DAC. When I auditioned both amps using the T6, I was surprised to find that there's almost any difference between the 2 amps. Rex from Watt Hifi assured me that the 326BEE can really power the T6 because of its high sensitivity. Plus the 326BEE was the same amp I auditioned powering a KEF iQ70 and Monitor RS8. This was were I confirmed that my ears like the SS sound better than tubes. Plus the 326BEE is like 11k cheaper than the 356BEE. Maybe we can reserve that 356 on harder to drive speakers.

So how does it compare to the 550A? It sounds more composed and full. Details are presented better and sounds more balanced compared to the CA. The NAD also did produce more bass, where in CA, I had to adjust the equalizer settings to add more oomphh in my music. I also find the highs to sound a lot thicker than CA. I know this is a subjective preference, but I like my music that way.

Overall, even if NAD was rated 10w lower than CA, I feel NAD is more powerful. It has a lot more punch. I know this isn't a good comparison but on the same listening level that satisfies me, the volume knob on my NAD is only on the 8:45 position while in CA it's on 12 o'clock.

Sorry for the crappy pic. Anyway here were the list of gears I used to compare both amps:
Acer 4740G
Musiland Monitor 01US
Strandtz wires with Amphenol plugs for RCA
Generic Gauge 14 wires

Mission M31i Bookshelf speakers

Congrats sa superhakot, idol Gerard! Baka may amps ka pang balak bilhin. Just remember, handa kami sumalo ng mga ayaw mo. ;D

Btw, relative position of the volume knob doesn't make much sense in this comparison though, as the two amps don't have the same gain. NADs have sensitive inputs, but you probably already know that. Try setting both volume knobs to just before clipping, then compare. :)

supposedly. Play your reference tracks while set your volume/gain. Kapag may clipping, turn it one notch lower until walang clipping sa entire track. Do it sa both amps. Then compare.

Sa 550A, sindihan mo clipping detection ng CAP5. Uurong yan ng volume pag clipping na to a safe volume level. Kung san siya tumigil, yun ang max mo before clipping.

Sa C326BEE, sindihan mo soft clipping circuitry. Iilaw yung blue led sa harap pag inabot nya ang clipping point. Pag napapablink mo na yun, sobra ka na sa volume.

Sir,
Tanong lang po sana ako regarding your NAD & Cambridge Integrated amp about the difference nila sa sound using PSB T6. I also have the T6 and im planning to buy an integrated amp (NAD, Cambridge, rotel).  Your actual experience would be of great help for me on choosing for the right Int amp.

(No time to audition all the amps)

Thanks & regards!

Hello Sir, nakwento nga po ni Rex may T6 rin po kayo. Congrats :)

About the sound, Cambridge is a bit more transparent/revealing and has extended highs. While NAD sounds a bit thicker and has more weight in the bass area. Build-wise, CA is better with it's aluminum face plate and imposing heft. Feature-wise, Cambridge has speaker a-b, while NAD has the ability to bypass it's preamp and be used as a power amp. The latter is a feature which is more useful for me.

Hope that helps.

@ china-man - apart from it being personal preference or subjective, it will also depend on what speaker you will pair it with.  Both are very good receivers but both also have pro's and con's and it will depend on how you will use it and what your budget is.

I think neutral po sya maganda yung bass at kalansing nya medyo balanse yung high and low o lamang lang ng kaunti si bass...

Sir with all the speakers that you mentioned, I would suggest the Denon because its the most neutral of the 3 you mentioned.  Mix pala yung speakers mo eh, kala ko isang set sya.  Although surrounds dont matter much sa HT kasi effects lang maririnig mo, if in the future you want to use your surround speakers for music and your driver is your Denon, ok parin tunong non.

some speakers are brighter than others(makalansing, matinis/matalas) kaya kailangan ng warm na receiver.  yung iba naman, warm in nature ang speaker(smooth, maganda sa low notes) so kailangan mabalance by using a bright receiver.  so in your case, since iba iba gamit mo, use a neutral receiver para kahit anong ipair mo, yung natural characteristic nung speaker mo ang lalabas.  idaan mo na lang sa EQ para madjust sa preference mo yung sound.

AH ok maraming salamat mga gurus..

Balak ko kasi yung NAD 316BEE ang magda-DRIVE sa surround back  at yung Denon 2802 ang magda-DRive sa Surround using B&W 601 S2 speaker...kaya pinagiisipan ko na kung anong NEW AVR ang gagamitin ko para ma-experience ko ang HDMI...by the way di ko pa na-testing itong mga speaker ko sa movie puro sa AUDIO lang di na kasi ako nagkaroon ng time inabot na ng pag-alis ko bale ang ginamit ko na AUDIO source yung MArantz KI sognature so far ok naman....wala pa nga pala akong SUB...tsk tsk tsk magastos talaga HT at audio gears....

Salamat sa input mga gurus....

hello, sorry late login. was out of the country. regarding which avr to run on a psb set? i already tried different amps from denon, onkyo, pioneer and yamaha. all have similar or close to similar results. dominant ang influence ng speaker sa ht setup especially with high sensitivity speakers like these psb set. but in audio listening, the difference is noticeable when you use an integrated amp.

Post by: sientobente on May 31, 2014 at 03:50 AM
Don Master Nelson is a humble konsehal in a posh village in QC. He owns an anechoic chamber that can rival Canada's NRC. A few years ago, I was granted the pleasure to audition his extremely high end system.... and it was stupendously impressive! What I liked most was the room treatment. It was extremely silent and every sound can be heard with great detail(you could even hear the ipis around the corner breathe. )

Don Master Nelson truly mastered room acoustics! When he began to bombard me with technical jargons that made my nose bleed, I can't stop but feeling awed by the way he can control sound. It was like Magic!

A few years later, our beloved Konsi decided to share some of his divine sorcery in the form of acoustic panels. Now that it's available for everyone, I decided to get some.

Presenting the highend Nelson Acoustic foams:

Master, this is mostly an absorber with partly a design to diffuse sound. My left speakers first point of reflection is a large glass window where the result was an overemphasized top end on my setup. To tame it a bit, adding these absorbers on that point of reflection effectively absorbed around 20 to 40% of the mid and high frequencies producing a much cleaner and balance sound on my setup.
Title: Re: now upgraded with highend Nelson Acoustic Foams!
Post by: sovrain on May 31, 2014 at 07:38 AM
Maraming salamat sir.... ;)
Title: Re: now upgraded with highend Nelson Acoustic Foams!
Post by: Gino on May 31, 2014 at 07:57 AM
In a home system, you hear sound direct from speakers. You also hear sounds emitted by the speakers to hard reflective surfaces then reflected back to you. Walls, floor, ceiling, etc.

Such reflective areas behave like mirrors. If sound where visual, your ears will see a reflection of the speaker on these reflective surfaces.

Two things can happen to the sound. Reflections can reach your ear in-phase or our of phase. In-phase, boosts sound. Out-of phase reduces sound.

In a badly reflective room, you can get peaks and valleys in your sound response curve.

That's putting it simply. Other room effects are standing waves, echos, peakiness (boominess, shouting etc.), and resonance (vibrations.)

I'll take more pictures later sir Jen. Nakulam mo ako dun sa Line Magnetic. Tried it yesterday with Sonus Faber and the combination was awesome! I now can't take it off my mind. Currently researching if starting with EL34 and roll tubes later with KT88 will work or start with KT88 nalang.

The EL34 na tinutukso sa akin ni Sir Amiel at Rex:

ha ha ha, congrats na agad? Di ko nga alam kung kailan ko ito itutuloy e. Dati nakabili na ako ng materials, CHB, RSB, cement, etc., e, nakita ni kumander, she asked, para saan yan? I Told her, tapos sabi, wag muna yan, extension ko muna kusina...ayun, na hijack.....waaaaaa, hu hu hu

In a home system, you hear sound direct from speakers. You also hear sounds emitted by the speakers to hard reflective surfaces then reflected back to you. Walls, floor, ceiling, etc.

Such reflective areas behave like mirrors. If sound where visual, your ears will see a reflection of the speaker on these reflective surfaces.

Two things can happen to the sound. Reflections can reach your ear in-phase or our of phase. In-phase, boosts sound. Out-of phase reduces sound.

In a badly reflective room, you can get peaks and valleys in your sound response curve.

That's putting it simply. Other room effects are standing waves, echos, peakiness (boominess, shouting etc.), and resonance (vibrations.)

I'll take more pictures later sir Jen. Nakulam mo ako dun sa Line Magnetic. Tried it yesterday with Sonus Faber and the combination was awesome! I now can't take it off my mind. Currently researching if starting with EL34 and roll tubes later with KT88 will work or start with KT88 nalang.

The EL34 na tinutukso sa akin ni Sir Amiel at Rex:

Congrats, sir! The EL34 will give you more than enough power for your Sonus! :D Depends also on your music preference :D According to some peeps, KT88 daw mas brusko...Never had KT88s before, only 6550...Pag makakuha ka pa ng NOS EL34 na Telefunken or even new production Svetlana, solb na! :D
Thanks Sir Jen. How do you characterize the sound flavor of Telefunken and Svetlana against stock tubes?

My new project... back to car audio  :)

when I got my crv last month, the sound system was horrible. probably the worst set of stock audio system i ever heard. upon uninstalling the drivers, no wonder it sounds bad. the cone is made of some cheap plastic kinda like what your mangta-taho use for his cups.

And Holy Crapoli! Look at that magnet! As large as a P5 coin! You can hardly even see the voice coil which means it cannot handle enough power and that causes it to distort easily.

Title: Re: My sari-saring setup
Post by: sientobente on Oct 08, 2014 at 09:41 AM
This got me an itch to upgrade my car audio. Here are some gears installed.

Focal PS165 FX - Flax drivers are the newest thing for Focal. They have this on their latest Aria line. It seems that this is good enough for Focal to discontinue their Polyglass line.  The PS165FX should currently be the best Flax driver they have right now.
(http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f317/sientobente/Mobile%20Uploads/5275DB7F-1CCC-4261-A31D-0514AAB365C7_zpsyd7tnauw.jpg)

Some recognition for Focal

My deadening of choice - STP Aluminum.

Here's how it looks like:

Title: Re: My sari-saring setup

This is still a long way from done. Here are the next gears to be installed:

Audison 4-channel amp and Processor

Yup Master Timi, full-active ang gagawin namin. These new focal drivers sounds really different from the previous generation of Polyglass drivers. They are slightly warmer sounding.

nope it wont be void, yung warranty lang daw ang void if may masira, but the yojin 3 maintenance daw is not affected.  Palibhasa sanay ka magset up ng car audio kaya lakas ng loob mo mag full active, it took me countless hours to get it right, and it wasn't even me who did, yung installer ko din ang nakaayos lol.

Forgot to update this. Removed the Focal crossovers and will be running on full active.

The Audison Bit Ten processor compared to the enormous crossovers from the Focal Flax.
(http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f317/sientobente/Mobile%20Uploads/AC1878C9-1F40-4953-82F2-33099629CADF_zpsjs4swygb.jpg)

Temporarily will be doing an underseat installation of the Audison Amp.
(http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f317/sientobente/Mobile%20Uploads/196BD5D6-CA52-4CF0-97D4-130A7D3ADC79_zpsxqvsg0eg.jpg)

The processor installed underneath the gearbox
(http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f317/sientobente/815D5F1D-4D11-4408-9B0D-B250FE22AEBB_zpsibd5fsnd.jpg)

System is now running on full active! After some tuning, were able to able to achieve the following:
1. Moved the sweet spot to the driver's position
2. the localization of each speaker driver has been eliminated
3. external amp helped push out more details
4. Much stronger midbass presence
5. Better layering of the stage

Really happy with the outcome. Next up, instead of the mono amp or sub, will probably upgrade the A-pillars first to be able to mount the tweeters for a better stage. I suddenly didn't find the urge to get a sub right away because of the impressive midbass response done by the latest upgrades I did.

Just a minor update. Rearranged my Condo's living room by adding a BB3 Audio Rack, changed the speaker stands with a B&W STAV24 and replaced my Toshiba 40PU200 with a Samsung 58H5203. Really wanted to add a carpet for a classy effect but my kumander Misis is allergic to too much dust.

Title: Re: Reviewing the Rega DAC vs the NAD D1050 DAC and the Xindak Power Conditioner
Post by: sientobente on Jun 06, 2015 at 10:11 PM
Sir Rex of Watts Hifi generously lent me 2 5-star DACs reviewed (no pun intended!) in What Hifi  - The Rega DAC and the NAD D1050 DAC. He also lent me the Xindak XF500E Power Conditioner to see if it will fix the quality of electricity going into my gears(more of this later.) I bought a Trebutaries Optical Cable and an Audioquest Toslink adapter to test these DACs out. I also plan to use my Musiland USB cable to maximize the NAD DAC, this is because 24/192 only runs via USB on NAD while optical only runs at 24/96. The Rega though is quite the opposite where it runs 24/192 on optical then just 16/44 on USB.

Sorry for the pics, was excited to test these gears out.

Got home at around 4PM today, only got to test the Xindak Power Conditioner and partially gone through the Rega DAC. I'd probably post a reply for each reviewed gear since I intend to fully test all of them  :)

Gears used:
Rega DAC - 36k
NAD D1050 - 26k
Xindak XF500E - 6.5k
Trebutaries Optical Cable - 1.55k
Audioquest Toslink adapter - 435 pesos
Musiland USB cable - free from my other DAC

Review 1 - Xindak XF500E Power Conditioner
(http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f317/sientobente/Others/995006B8-3B87-40BB-B56D-FF92F32546B0_zpsq5gad2q2.jpg)

One of the problems in condo living is the quality of electricity you are getting. In my condo, voltage runs from 230 to 245v. My Luxgen AVR has already taken care of that. I also installed a Panther surge protector for additional peace of mind. Still, I am encountering a problem where my audio equipment is very sensitive to power fluctuations. For example, if I switch a light here, my freezer defrosts or as simple as me turning the fan on, a cracking sound can be heard from my speakers. It probably has clipped and it's a scary thought.

Since the usual combo of AVR/Surge Protector didn't work. I had to ask Sir Rex if he can recommend something to help me with this problem. He told me about the Xindak Power conditioner. I know, some might think that these types of accessories are some sort of snake oil but since it was offered as a home audition, I got nothing to lose.

The Xindak XF500E cost P6,500. Too expensive for a fancy surge protector I tought. It has 4 sockets where 2 were labeled for power amps, then another 2 for preamp/accessories. Since I got 2 integrated amps to use for the review and 2 DACs, I plugged them all into the Xindak for an easy A/B testing.

Upon turning my system on. I tried the usual suspects that causes that distortion on my speakers. Turned the AC on, nope, no noise, Turned those high-wattage bulbs on, none. Turned my fan on and cranked the speed up and down, nope, still no noise. Could this mean that the Xindak Power Conditioner was working? I can confidently say YES. After this test, I am now placing my order through Watts Hifi :)

Review 2 - Rega DAC(not the DAC-R)
(http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f317/sientobente/Others/BA08222C-CC66-46A6-A9FF-FA00154BFD06_zpsvwu7e1au.jpg)
(Again, sorry for the crappy pic. Low light + iPhone = disaster)

Probably putting this as a placeholder for the Rega DAC since I am not fully done reviewing it. The kit is pretty bare. It only contains a power cord. No other cables or a remote. A remote though would be nice to be able to switch sources easily plus to be able to browse through each filter effortlessly(The new Rega DAC-R now gets a remote though).

Setting the DAC is easy as it is just plug n' play. It was more difficult to setup my Macbook Pro to play my high-res music. At first I was just using VLC. The DAC seems to detect the right resolution, but then it does not seem to do so consistently because it locks up at a certain resolution. I now started to look for a software that can let me select the correct output for each file. Amarra and JRiver unfortunately are paid softwares. Foobar isn't available in Mac. Good thing JRiver offers a free sample that does not have a GUI but just a top bar menu. So I downloaded JRiver to play these music on my Mac.

Another problem that I just learned was all Macbooks released before 2013 have their optical out limited to 24/96. My Macbook is a 2011 model. Fortunately, my wife has a 2015 Macbook Pro which I was able to test my 24/192 files.

The sound? Let me talk about the filters first. The Rega DAC has 5 of them and they offer a bit of it's own character:
Filter 1 - Sharper highs but faster roll off in that area
Filter 2 - Slower sound. A review mentioned that this filter has more echo and reverb which I agree.
Filter 3 - Sounds more balanced than the previous 2, and is faster than Filter 2.
Filter 4 - This is actually my favorite. Midrange presence is very fluid and musical.
Filter 5 - Has the flattest sound.

I always associated the Rega house sound as laid back and very tube-like in dynamics. I find the same sonic character here. It sounds warm and lush, but what really stood out was the midrange. Matched with my Sonus Faber Toy Monitors(powered by my Cambridge Amp) the vocals were just fluid and engaging.

Aside from testing the DAC in Music I also tried it in Movies. Crazy? Actually let me explain. On my Macbook, I use a 3.5mm jack-to-RCA cable. This is because my integrated amp that I use does not have HDMI ports. For low quality movies(1 to 3GB) it works fine, but large movies where it was DD/DTS encoded(10GB up) there's distortion in the bass area and sometimes the upper frequency region. I am beginning to think it's the limitation of the cable I am using. Turns out I am correct. One of my reference movies was a remuxed Interstellar movie I got. At the very beginning of the movie while the ship was bursting through the sky or the galaxy(wherever it is), bass distortion was highly audible. Now, using the Rega DAC, this type of distortion has been completely eliminated. The movie sounds really well. Even when running a 2.1 system, layering of the sound has been great. The background effects were well separated from the foreground dialogue of the characters. What is noticeable too was the improvement in bass. I run a dimunitive REL T5 on this setup. Watching this movie made my sub more pronounced. Actually, really loud even. I got too embarassed to run this on normal listening levels because it is already late at night and I don't want to get the ire of the neighbors.

Will continue the review next time when I get more time...

Master P, initial listening sessions gave me an impression that both DACs are warm sounding. Only got through the first 3 filters of Rega, and each filter provided a slightly different flavor. I'll post my review of the NAD later, so far the stage width is narrower than the Rega, but it seems to have a slightly more refined sound. Partnered with my Cambridge amp, it lacks the slam Rega provided in the lower region but overall it seems to sound a bit cleaner. I'll listen to it more later kapag nakauwi na ako and post my findings.

Review 3 - NAD D1050 DAC

(http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f317/sientobente/Others/520F9DB0-E2CF-407B-8570-2DAC975C275B_zpspgulnc7l.jpg)

Will also make this as a placeholder and will be updating this too as soon as I get to review the DAC further.

The NAD DAC is 3/4th the size of Rega. It came with the power cord and an installation manual. It does not have a manual that explains the features, how to operate it and what not. Or maybe it does, since it is a demo unit, it probably wasn't included in the box. Anyway, it took me more time to setup this DAC. Upon starting it up, I had a difficult time switching sources. Not sure if the panel that lights up from 2 different sides were touch screen or it auto detects sources. Rex actually told me that to make this responsive, I have to lift the plastic thing covering the touchscreen buttons to make it work. I actually just knew about that when I had to return the DAC a week after  ;D

When I started using this DAC, I used the optical out. As mentioned earlier, optical out is limited to 24/96. I actually am ok with this mainly because of 2 things. 1. Most, if not all the songs I downloaded from HDTracks are in this resolution. 2. I don't need to borrow my wife's Macbook to play my sparsely limited 24/192 songs.

My song selection came from Smashing Pumpkins(Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness) and Toto. Also played 16/44 songs from Jennifer Warnes and Madonna. In comparison to Rega, NAD sounds louder. The stage is also more upfront, and it is a tad more aggressive than the Rega. Using my NAD amp parterned with my Sonus Faber Toy(along with the Rel T5) makes the bass a bit bloated. Switching to my Cambridge Audio Amp, bass had better control and grip. Across the frequency range, it does have more oomph while not showing any weakness. This is definitely more forward and lively than Rega. NAD sounds more Solidstate as to Rega's Tube-like sound.

Ive heard the Nad d1050 but was pitted against the MF M1 DAC instead, like you, I also found the bass to be bloated and uncontrolled.

They were both similar in sound, but the NAD was the more musical and detailed of the 2, albeit the bloated midbass, which could probably sound good on bass shy speakers :)

Setup was Nad 356bee, Nad C545bee, PSB Image X1T, Laptop with Flac files (98/24)

I highly agree on your impressions master. :)


Verdict
NAD shows more muscle and provides great value being both an external DAC and headphone amp. It also helps that it has an asynchronous USB feature. The 10k price difference too is hard to ignore. Unfortunately, Rega matches my Sonus Faber/Rel combo more. With Rega, my 2.1 setup was more musical and engaging. It is also fun having 5 different filters to play with, giving me 5 different options to use depending on the mood and genre I'm playing. Finally, I had my wife's ear listen to both DACs, she chooses the Rega by far. Now to get the most sought-after WAF, I told her the DAC only cost 5k (My white lie to survive the day) O0

So there it is, the Rega DAC now takes a permanent place in my system.

My new toys - Rega DAC and Xindak XF500E Power Conditioner.

Finally, I had my wife's ear listen to both DACs, she chooses the Rega by far. Now to get the most sought-after WAF, I told her the DAC only cost 5k (My white lie to survive the day) O0

So there it is, the Rega DAC now takes a permanent place in my system.

My new toys - Rega DAC and Xindak XF500E Power Conditioner.

A thread was looking for a mangkukulam, and I know exactly one, si Boss Rex ng Watts Hifi. Dropped by just to look for cables, pinauwi nya sa akin was the Cocktail Audio X10!! Good thing, it's a lazy rainy afternoon, perfect for slouching on a comfy sofa listening to good music.  :)

The Cocktail Audio X10

VS

My Macbook Pro 2011 and 2015 with JRiver Media Center 20 loaded

Shootout Part 2  :)
Cocktail Audio - P35k SRP
Cocktail Audio iOS remote - $2
JRiver Media Center 20 for Mac OS X - $50
JRemote(iOS Remote for JRiver Mac OS) -$10
Macbook Pro - I dunno how much it cost, si Misis bumili nun

Both sources will pass-through my Rega DAC going into my Cambridge Audio Amp powering my Sonus Faber Toy Monitors along with a REL T5.

It really does look nice. I need nga lang an optical out, or better yet, akin nalang yung Music Fidelity VLink mo so I can use a USB effectively on the Rega DAC. Hehehe. So far my options to do this without spending 5-digits on the Vlink is using my Macbook or these Music streamers.

Just FLAC files sir. All other files I got, like WAV, AIFF, M4A etc. are fine. If I select a FLAC file, it doesn't show any error messages, it just returns back into the GUI without playing the file. It actually has the same behavior like Amarra Hifi wherein both are like plug-ins for iTunes. Also tried the stand alone software from Audirvana, same thing.

I'll go check if I can change the setting under audio midi setup. Thanks.

I did an experiment on JRiver (MC20) with 3 different computers:

1. Mid 2010 MacBook Pro w/ hdd
2. Dell core2duo w/ hdd
3. DIY desktop PC i7 w/ sdd

JRiver sounds best in #3, followed by number 2 & last is the MBP. JRiver still sounds best using windows OS.

For MAC, I have tried Audirvana+, Amarra, Pure Music, Cog & Fidelia. Best sounding is Amarra Symphony but the GUI & structure is a decade behind compared to the other players. Next best is Audirvana+, with proper tweaking it can go toe to toe with Amarra.

I agree. Mac OS is still far from beating PC in terms of music. The first thing I noticed is how lower the noise floor is on a PC vs MAC. I'd still rate my PC/Musiland/PSB as more "hifi" sounding than my Mac/Rega/Sonus Faber setup. :)

Got it Sir. Probably, it is because I am just using the trial version. Kinda hesitant to pay for it because it might not work in the end. Audirvana is actually like 50% more expensive than JRiver.

Don't give up on your Mac just yet sir, once you get the hang of Audirvana+ ma-enjoy mo rin yan.  It's the most preferred audiophile player for macs. One good thing about Audirvana is it gets updated about twice or at least once a year & these updates are free. You just need to buy the license one time.

Btw, my suggestion is go for the Vlink to get the most out of your rega dac. Damien Plesson, the developer of Audirvana said that the optical out of an MBP is very prone to jitter, so his recommendation is Asynchronous USB or spdif.

If your MBP serves as your dedicated music player I suggest the following:

1. Wipe clean the hard drive & reinstall Yosemite. Install Audirvana+ and don't add any other apps or software.

2. Music files should not be on the same hd as your OS, they should be on a NAS or external hd, one with its own power supply is preferred.

3. Disable wifi connection & notification alerts entirely or at least when listening to music.

4. Upgrade your hdd to ssd.

That is true Sir. Ayaw lang po ipamigay ni Boss Jason/Courage yung Vlink niya sa akin. ;) Probably I need to find a way to import one from abroad.

Regarding the SPDIF/Coax on Rega, as per the designer, Terry Bateman, the Rega DAC has it's own reclocking mechanism to reduce jitter. It is kinda like it's own technology similar to an asynchronous usb but on a different interface. I guess, they had this DAC with Mac in mind.

I'll follow your advice sir in running Audirvana. I'll also do a comparo since JRiver does have this feature that closes all the background programs, allocate the necessary memory and what not to optimize the software.

By the way, do you use a tablet-based remote for it? The iOS native remote for iTunes does not seem to work on the standalone player.  :(

The Vlink is a good investment in your case since your Rega Dac will need it, so whether you stay with your MBP or move on to a PC, the spdif-USB converter is still essential to maximize the DAC.

For me mas comprehensive ang "hog mode" or "exclusive mode" ng Audirvana+ compared to Jriver on MAC. Mas marami rin tweaks ang A+. The upsampling on A+ is using IZOTOPE, a recording industry standard software. You can play with the settings under the Audio Filter tab, changing the values result in a change in sound  ;)


Re tablet/phone remote software, I don't use them anymore. I did before but I forgot the name. I like listening to an entire album so the need to stand up and to change music in my case is seldom.

iOS remote controller  - JRemote for JRiver

An alternative to vLink is iFi iLink.  It's available in stores selling iFi products such as Listening Room.  I am using iFi iLink with my older Dacs with no USB input. It's a good converter and it's better than the vLink as I have read in forums way back.

I am using JRiver for Windows platform and happy with it.  Combining the Jriver with Windows server 2012 and Audiophile Optimizer is a winning combo!

Was reading more into these converters. My first impression was adding another device into the signal chain might degrade the quality, but it looks like I was wrong. These converters like the Vlink adds asynchronous capability into the data clocking while adding galvanic isolation into spdif. Which surely explains why reviews are raving about these converters. Definitely, I agree, it's a good investment for Computer Audio!

I'll have more time to explore Audirvana tomorrow. Can't wait ;)

Thanks for the advice on iFi Sir Joey, will definitely consider that.

For Windows, unfortunately, I only bought the JRiver license for Mac, I currently use a free software for PC which is Foobar. It does not have the GUI savvy-ness of JRiver but it gets the job done. Plus it is for free.

Tried HQPlayer on my MBP last night. Here are some of my initial observations:

1. GUI is so-so, you need an add-on app to compensate.

2. The installation was pretty quick & syncing 400gb of music files took about 10mins only. Take time to read the .pdf manual, I had issues with playing songs the first time I tried but with some tinkering in the settings it was resolved right away.

3. The demo/trial version automatically shuts off after 30mins so you have to restart the app again. No worries as all settings from previous session are retained.

4. The program loads quickly when you click the icon, same with the songs when choosing from your library. No spinning wheel or whatever icon that indicates the files are loading.

5. Under the device settings you will see a lot of items you can tinker with, it's a feast for those who like to experiment to get the sound they want.

6. Without changing the default settings I played a very familiar track and right away I noticed clear separation in details & a wide sound stage. This player sounds really good.

7. Navigating through the various filters & drop down option in settings I can say that this app was designed & developed with DSD in mind.

Ok, update on hqplayer...

After 3 days of listening, switching between audirvana+, jriver & hqplayer listening to the same album; i can say that it is the best sounding among the three at least in my mac.

I tried upsampling as well, among all the audiophile music players i've tried with the same feature; hqplayer is the best at this job. Caveat is you really need a processor with enough grunt for dsd upsampling.

I'm using a device similar to iUSB made by our very own JojoD  ;)

Thanks Master, that is something to consider. I saw the backlog on the Uptone Regen. It is nice to see alternatives for the device.

Great feedback. Would try it out too this coming saturday because my weekend was spent auditioning the Cocktail Audio X12. It sounds "analog" and as per specs should be able to output 24/192 via optical output but then I like the X10's character more. They still have a long way to go beating our Mac/PC setup in terms of functionality, features and sound quality. It is just that, it is pretty convenient to have all these things in a small box :)

Sir Deist, would you have a picture of the iUSB by Master JojoD? You know having that highly sought-after WAF is kinda difficult. If it is too flashy, she will think it is too expensive. If it is ugly, she does not want it seen anywhere in her line-of-sight. Wala tayong panalo  :-[

This is a nice read boss Paeng. Parang halos lahat sa list, nasubukan ko na except for Vox, Swinsain, Tamahawk, HQPlayer, XXHighend. The last one sounded like an adult website.  O0

Haven't been active for a few months since I've taken up a new hobby and have been frequenting another forum(PhilippineWatchClub). Nevertheless, Pdvd is still my first love ;p

Today, my wife gave me a Beats Studio 2.0 Noise Cancelling Headphones to accompany me in work. In comparison to my Sennheiser Momentum and Grado SR80i, sound quality-wise, it isn't really that worse. It is actually known as the best sounding Beats set. Noise cancellation is pretty good, if you don't mind the low hiss attributed to NC headphones. Not sure if it is because it isn't broken in yet, but bass isn't that as heavy as a regular Beats Solo or something. It also sounds laid back. In comparison to my over-ear Momentum, the details isn't really at that level, but it sounds clear enough for you to appreciate the music. Here it is along with the standard PWC wristshot lol!
