Peter,

What also should be tested is a PCIe usb2 card. Or do you have such ordered.

Or would that not be?

I think someone ever mentioned about echo in this thread. But when I checked back, the text was removed.

I did mention about echo but replaced it in stereo because i thougt it was not the correct word for it. Not sure about my change also.  unhappy

After a couple of days listening to the USB3 cable I can confirm that it does seem to be an improvement on the USB2 cable connected to the USB3 port.
What kind of USB3 cabel did You use? Do You use an Adapter to connect to the NOS DAC USB? Can't find a Shop in the Netherlands for an adapter (USB3 A to USB2 B) ?

Hey Johan,

I bought this at www.allekabels.nl

Artikelnummer 926 | USB Verloopstekker

Artikelnummer 1084072 | USB 3.0 Kabel

Nick,

Not just a minor tweak but IMO a  big one. Indeed extra detail, much more bass and indeed very tight. In a way there is bit more stereo or that is caused by something else. The sound is warmer. I am very pleased with what you have discovered!!!

Thanx for trying this...


 thankyou

Hey Gerard - I guess that my speaker project is going to be a longer term thing so I will keep these details thanks. But really interesting is the Metrum DAC's - something I have been looking for, for a while. An inexpensive NOS DAC for my study system (I thought I was going to have to make one!!). I already have a very good USB/SPDIF converter and a reclocker for low jitter - so a NOS DAC and a GainClone will provide a very satisfactory study system driven by XXhigh.

Thanks

Paul

Yes that is his new project especially the Octave could be nice i think. That is the new one. But remember only 16/176.4 if i remember correctly.

Hey Gerard  - I love the look of your speakers very nice. At some point I could be interested to make a pair of speakers and I do hanker after some open baffle. The only problem for me is that in the past when I have experimented with open baffle I just could not get the bass right. Did you have any problems getting the bass to work? I would be really interested in that aspect and if you had to do anything to mitigate the effect of rear reflections.

The design I have been thinking about is Dick Olsher's BassZilla DIY project which is basically a big box for the bass driver and then a tweeter and super tweeter on open baffle. I would be really interested - does anyone have experience of this speaker? has anyone heard it?

Btw i heard from Metrum that 2 drivers each side is really necessary to optain a good bass.

Hey Paul,

Maybe self made was a bit enthusiastic  Wink

Fact is that the design is from the manufacturer of the drivers ed.

www.metrum-acoustics.nl

As said he is busy with something else but i am sure he can help you a bit. I think the bass is ok but i really have not listened enough to other speakers to say something about it. I am satisfied.

Good luck!!
