Well, the GW Labs unit has about 80 hours on it and I have to temper my earlier rave on this product. Right out of the box, it sounded great and I anticipated...
I received the DIO yesterday and connected it up. Wonderful sound but in the 48kHz and 96 kHz settings, there is substantial crackle in the left channel only....
Your DIO is just fine. CD players send out 44.1kHz digital signal so your DIO can only sync with 44.1kHz (1*), 88.2kHz (2*), or ext sync mode. 48kHz or 96kHz ...
My DI/O's sat long enough without any additional mods being done, I've been busy playing with my new (gulp) turntable :-) I'm going to add the transformer...
I tried 48kHz and 96kHz modes on my system and also got crackles only in the left channel. Precisely, I could hear crackles in the right channel too but they ...
Hi Bill, Good to know I can get more at PC if I ever need any more, it's hard to find. I don't have lots of it here, but I could certainly send you a foot of...
Thanks, Craig Actually I'll need more than a foot cause I'm gonna do BOTH my DI/O's and their transports. The transformer on the transport sounds like a good...
I wonder if this has to do with your preamp being overloaded by DIO output. May be the left channel of your preamp is more susceptible to overloading than the...
I have tried the DIO with both my amps - a Musical Fidelity X-A1 integrated and a Quad 405-2 (the quad has a potentiometer in the input) and the effect is the...
What mods have you done to your DIO? There were discussion about crackle sound before, maybe you want to do a search on the subject in the archive? Michael ...
Hi Debopriyo, It is never going to work with a redbook source, it won't work with any other DAC, it's not supposed to work. It is a technical fact of life,...
I just bought a DIO and installed 500:500 UTC transformers into the output. I used the instructions for the Jenson's with the negative output lead grounded to...
A proper upsampler is a different matter, such as one of the 192kHz ones. There is more to upsampling than just sampling at a higher frequency. The DI/O is not...
I have not done any mods to the DIO as yet. Its in the stock form and sounds great. I have just ordered a 3 Amp toroidal transformer to uprate the supply. ...
Thanks for the info. The DIO in stock form sounds great especially in the 88.1 kHz mode. I have ordered a larger transformer (3 Amp) for building a better PS....
Since there are still a few people around, I'll try to put up on the web site some pics and schematics of the stand-alone digital board with transformer...
I've done many of the basic mods, but because I'm an electronics neophyte, I haven't understood how to do some things which might seem very basic to many of...
Can't help directly because I can't indicate the solder pads, but there's only two pads for each connector that you really need to jump together, the ground...
I tried the transformer for the stand-alone digital board with the newly-adjusted-for-it DI/O and...the tranny hums. A problem for me as I intend the PS to sit...
The phoneplug jacks on the DI/O are stereo units used in a mono configuration...this means only the "tip" (lug "e") of the phono plug and the sleeve (lug are...
Before people figured out the better electrolytics to use in amplifiers and gain stages, the standard thing to do was to bypass with good quality film units....
As the adapter plug connecting 9V AC into the DI/O is commonly available and inexpensive, I find it strange that some of the cabling used to replace power...
it has, commercially... dunno if it's worth it... go to boldercables.com to see a 5.6a power-supply w/audiophile-approved cable. either $125 or $205 if...
Hi Peak, My opinion is to wire "around" the adapter plug socket in the DI/O...it's a real crappy one (but lots better than some I've seen). Note how small...
The odd thing is there's more members than ever, up about 10% in the last month, traffic is down about 90%, until very recently... I guess most people have...
Hey Craig, To court more DIYer's on this page would require adding in some real world features on the DI/O. For me I lost control of my volume control on my...
All, I'm using a Monolithic P3, designed for Perpetual Technologies after- market PS upgrade. It has a 9VAC out. I have hardwired directly from the PS...
