Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

RE: Help- Digital vs Analog (long)

I use the Oppo for CD/SACD/DVD/BluRay playback, and am quite happy with it. It might be a tad "polite" in its presentation, but overall it's pretty good.

I still use the HHB occasionally to make CD copies of now-unavailable or otherwise precious LPs. The CDs it makes are among the best I've heard. That could be, of course, due to the various colorations added by my analogue chain. It could also be partly due to the record levels I use: having used various digital meters that attempt to show real peak levels, I aim for an rms level of about -12 dBFS for all digital recording, including HHB and ProTools sessions.

I use a Metric Halo ULN-2 interface as my DAC/ADC and love it. It's a shame I'm not using the mic preamps in it, as they are pretty special as well. It will be good when MH come out with their long-delayed new architecture, replacing firewire with USB2, which will greatly increase the bandwidth to and from the ULN-2. ("Days of Future Passed" or something like that.)

And I agree: performance is everything.

Cheers,
WW
