My Ultra tests

What’s the overall measured SNR over coax?

What do you mean by that?

 

[canard]

Is an lfd similar to an lpf?

sorry lpf...to fast

 

[canard]

clearly you are not equipped to understand and only wave ideas that are a little simplistic... always practice this kind of shortcut... wonder why a sinad is -110.7 when announced at -115 -116 celon the sources, by wiim (value consistent with dacs of the same type chip) and which becomes consistent with the use by onlyoneme of an lpf... (which is of course totally anormal).... the ostrich policy

 

[pbr]

So the coax out sucks then? Kinda the whole reason I ordered it

Dude take it easy

Who said so? Coax output turns out to be super clean compared to the Pro... Pretty much perfect. But not that it matters. Most of these measurements don't with modern DAC's.

 

[pbr]

Don't with modern dacs?

Depends on the DAC. Lower noise on a bitstream is always desirable.

Lower is always better, not going to argue about that. It's just that we're way below a certain threshold to cause any problems for most modern DAC's really

I use a older modified nos DAC. The first Gen Sonos connect was epic with this. I just got the ultra so some stuff remains to be seen

Cool which model?

Gr research DAC 60 ultra mod. Would be willing to try some new dacs if you think they are better. I tried all the usual suspects up to 4k about ten years ago but none I would justify paying the price at time

 

[Smartplug]

For those who has pro plus and ultra using their internal dac, is ultra superior than pro plus?

If you trust Mike Moffat try any of Schiit Audio’s multibit dacs. They are R/2R and need to be on 24/7 for temperature stability. Start wit Modi Multibit 2 and go to the top Yggdrasil+.

I have modi regular and modi multibit. Their aren’t my cup of tee both are in garage collecting cob web.

I never heard anything that sounds like live music as the multibit sound. And the Absolute Sound agrees, considering Yggdrasil Product of the Year.

The higher end maybe delivering the performance but their entry multibit to my ear left so much to desire depending music genre. Rock, rap multibit will excite in sound but in clarinet where sharp and fast transient fall short. It just lack the sparkle.

Interesting. I can see the top of the line being it but would be perplexed if any of the others do. Who knows it's been a long time

That’s a good review of the original MMB. But… the Modi Multibit 2 is even better. In any case… use what you like. I do.

Digital in via coax, measured output from RCAs.
