Home Digital Drive

Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

Rich sound - hmmm

Did the older DACs have that rich sound for the sake of it? Or did they maybe have a touch of warmth added to offset the occaisional brightness of early digital recordings? Taking it a bit further... now that digital recording has somewhat come of age, compensation on playback is no longer necessary.

In the bedroom rig I have the first Resolution Audio product. I recall it was their Masters thesis while at MIT. It has the UltraAnalogue DAC chip in it. It provides excellent sound for a 20 something year old DAC.
