    Question about RME ADI 2 and possibility of user error

    If you’re referring to the ADI-2 Pro or ADI-2 DAC rather than the ADI-2 then they are highly configurable and probably fine for your use case. I’ve had the Pro fs acting as a pre directly into a power amp without issue, although I had the headphone out configured to drive a sub with basic high...

    ADC

    No, you need to apply correct loading to the cart using resistors. RIAA correction can be applied via software.

    ADC

    Early days with it but so far I'm very happy with the UH7k. I've got the cartridge plugged directly into the mic pres - got to find the soldering iron to make some plugs to load it correctly.

    Is it heresey to put a TT through an ADC?

    I've run my 'table through various digital interfaces for years now - absolutely a non-issue

    Klipsch collective thread

    Yep - Ran the Heresy with: Rega Cursa & Maia combo - bit rough - crossover distortion I guess? Manley Stingray - excellent. Luxman integrated (mid 80's vintage?) - surprisingly good, worked very well.

    How many pairs?

    4.1 pairs - rationalization imminent: * Tannoy DMT 15 mk2 (probably to be sold) * Devialet Phantom silvers (keep for main system) * Klipsch Heresy II (to be sold) * Tannoy Eyris DC1 (?) (Sell or keep for 2nd system - not sure yet) * Velodyne DD15 (to be sold)

    Advice needed moving from Naim to Devialet

    Hi, Yep that's it. Dialogue needs to be on the same network as your iMac and any other devices running Spark. The Dialogue and Phantoms will establish their own network - using both wireless and powerline comms, the Dialogue acts as a bridge between the different networks. Regards, Stuart.

    Advice needed moving from Naim to Devialet

    Hi Dave, AIFF v ALAC - ALAC uses lossless compression to reduce the file size compared to AIFF. Sonically transparent and allows you to store metadata/tags inside the ALAC container (track name, band name album name etc) Getting music from the iMac to the Dialogue is simple so long as...

    Transcribing vinyl to digital

    I suspect the preamps in the UH-7000 are responsible for much of the improvement you're hearing rather than the ADC/DAC.

    Transcribing vinyl to digital

    Good to hear about your upgrade as I've been eyeing off the UH-7000

    Currently playing with Roon outputting via HQPlayer - pretty impressive combination but not cheap.

    Transcribing vinyl to digital

    I'm sure you've explained this before but I don't recall - did you record the output from your phono stage or are you doing RIAA adjustment digitally?
