skullguise Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 Wow, how cool! I have been off and on recently a site called Remember The Eighties, they have some interesting info and updates on that decade. Oddly, I didn't remember seeing the Feelies album news, though I knew they reformed...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusty Chalk Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 Hiatus between actual albums. I chose my word carefully, it implies being bookended by actual things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voltron Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 It sounds awesome, if a little less frenetic than the old days. Similar sound and feel otherwise. Very happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chalk Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 Or you could just go straight to the high res version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Monkey Posted April 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 Thanks to Dusty I saved 20% on The Feelies with the first code at this link HD Tracks code Larry, I just noticed something odd when listening to the Feelies tracks. I am using my iMac/iTunes and the optical out to my PWD. Midi setting is 96/24. PWD sees 96. So I set the PWD sample rate to "Native" and I get a weird noise floor when I play the tracks. Sort of like white noise. It gets better (and maybe goes away completely) when I set the sample rate to 96. Can you replicate this issue?

Ok, I'll try this tomorrow after I convert the files to 24/96 ALAC with MAX and put them in iTunes. I left them as FLAC and put them on my NAS server to listen with the Bridge later. So far the few songs I tried sound fine with VLC into my DACmini via 24/96 USB, but I'll try optical from Macbook > PWD. Are you using Amara Mini or anything, or just plain iTunes? Is there a particular track that is the worst offender? Also, I thought when you set the PWD to 96K you're really just turning on up-sampling, so the noise you're getting gets better with the ASRC active.

Sort of like white noise. It gets better (and maybe goes away completely) when I set the sample rate to 96. Can you replicate this issue? Sorry, but I can't replicate your problem. I just could not get a weird noise floor, like white noise, or any other artifacts. Once when we did a meet at my home and compared 6 DACs we could all hear a faint clicking noise in the background of Naamanf's Bufallo 32 DAC, although it was hard for me to hear it until I knew what to look for. However, at RMAF 2009 we heard exactly what you are describing when we fed an Apple TV 1G into a Digital Link III, and we assumed it was possibly jitter or something, since the ATV is reported to have very high levels as a transport. The ATV however sounds fine with the PWD via optical. I'm using a late 2008 Macbook Pro with a recently installed 10.6.7 install and iTunes 10.2.2. I converted The Feelies from FLAC to 24/96 ALAC files for iTunes. Audio Midi Setup is at 24/96 optical. Hardware used - I used an Emotiva TOSlink with good quality mini adapter to feed the PWD from the Macbook Pro. I had the PWD set for Native, showing 96Khz. I also found the 96K setting sounded the same. I auditioned it with my WES > O2 Mk1, plus Marantz 2240 and Nuforce HDP/Sigma 11 > Grado HF-2 and AKG K240M.
