New features of v8 and DSD question - craigyoung - 16-May-2015 Also landing with firmware 8.0 is yet another acronym: the RAM (‘Record Active Matching’) phono stage brings remote controllable configuration of loading, gain and thirteen EQ curves. Alternatively, single-click presets for 130 of the world’s most popular cartridges can be applied – great news for novices. Does anyone know the 130 carts that are supported? as I'm thinking about getting into vinyl...I think.. Also I will be transferring a heap of test DSD files from a friends USB onto my NAS, what's the best way of playing them? I currently use a SBT to stream my flacs stored on my nas and I have noticed a DSD plugin for the SBT but I don't want to lose quality as I think it might do some converting on the fly. Edit: Actually playing DSD on a Squeezebox Touch won't do much good compared to the PCM version (24/96 or 24/192) . This is because LMS will transcode DSD to PCM anyway. You need to have a DSD DAC in order to hear the real benefit. RE: New features of v8 and DSD question - Eddye - 16-May-2015 Vinyl question: look at the online configurator, that lists all the cartridges. DSD: If you have a Mac, use Audirvana, connect your Mac via USB. If you have a PC I think Jriver supprts DSD, or perheps Foobar.

You can see all the cartridges supported in the configurator - no need to logon http://en.devialet.com/configurator/advanced Just click on Phono 2 and you will get pull down menus for brand and model RE: New features of v8 and DSD question - Mikeeo - 16-May-2015 (16-May-2015, 07:46)PhilP Wrote: Also landing with firmware 8.0 is yet another acronym: the RAM (‘Record Active Matching’) phono stage brings remote controllable configuration of loading, gain and thirteen EQ curves.

Please note, at least in my case that I do not use all the settings that are displayed on the list (Benz LPS: 0 capacitance, High impedance, 350 uV) so you may have better results by testing other parameters then what Devialet is suggesting (they have this info from the cartridge makers). /Mike RE: New features of v8 and DSD question - Mikeeo - 16-May-2015 (16-May-2015, 07:08)craigyoung Wrote: Does anyone know the 130 carts that are supported? as I'm thinking about getting into vinyl...I think.. I would say that they tried to cover the most popular but knowing what eclectic bunch of people we are I am sure there will be users looking for their specific cartridge. However there is still plenty of different riaa curves to chose from and at the same time I believe that you still would be able to manually config your specific cartridge. /M RE: New features of v8 and DSD question - amabrok - 16-May-2015 (16-May-2015, 08:05)Mikeeo Wrote:(16-May-2015, 07:08)craigyoung Wrote: Does anyone know the 130 carts that are supported? as I'm thinking about getting into vinyl...I think.. here is the list of brands supported Sure Ortofon Pro-ject Sumiko Grado Audio Technica Dynavector Denon Rega Goldring Nagaoka Wilson Benesch Roksan Clear Audio Air Tight Lyra Benz of course each brands as several carts supported you can see the details in the advanced configuration in Phono 2 And now i have a question to members with extensive experience with LPs. which brand/carts of these you consider to be of high end excellent performance?
