Caution: Do not remove the internal safety cover that encloses the AC power entry.
Note: The cover is designed to fit tightly against the side of the unit.
We would not recommend spending extra money to get the 192 kHz version if a 96 kHz version is available.
Our DAC2 D/A converter will provide exactly the same performance at either 96 kHz of 192 kHz. However, in most cases, many A/D converters (used to record the music in the studio) achieve better performance at 96 kHz than they do at 192 kHz. But, these differences will be very small.
Listening tests are very difficult to administer. Small errors in the setup can lead to erroneous results.
Vinyl places many restrictions on the mix and mastering engineers. High-frequency content must be limited due to the mechanical limitations of cutters and playback cartridges. Low-frequency energy must also be limited for similar reasons. Stereo content must be limited and stereo separation of the system is also limited. Vinyl cannot be aggressively mastered for increased loudness, the way CDs can.
