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

Thank you Jeff! I wonder if they are available in 240V/50Hz form or if they all use a wall-wart PSU?

I am getting on so I think maybe 24/96 might be adequate, with my hearing.

But this will be through QUAD 63s, recently serviced, with updated protection, and smaller bypassed input caps.

They will be PLL filtered at 1st order from 150Hz.

What do you think?

Note that this is all down the track stuff, so I will be doing research and learning as I go. Click below for the next few - non ADC / no DSP - stages for the new system.

It's a post to a thread at General about EQ/room treatments and subs. It might be useful.

The room is our L-shaped Lounge/Dining room, with its long diagonal ~ 35ft. The plans, filter slopes and f3 points, five stereo power amps, etc reflect advice from Duke (Audio Kynesis/ Swarm subs), TomServo, ...

and Mike Samra .....

on how to adapt my modified LEAK Stereo 20 (valve) power amps (amps 4 and 5 and strapped to mono in parallel) as cold weather amps into the QUADs.

As back up speakers for when the 63 fo in for service I will be building a pair of Manger WR drivers into smallish sealed spheres for use 150 Hz up, with the LEAKs. So Winter will be servicing time for the QUADs.

The benefit will be that I will still have as good as possible impulse response, just as with the QUADs.

One step at a time, eh?!
