    Mytek Brooklyn Thread

    I'll take a stab at this. Yes, the Brooklyn will be a huge upgrade from the Modi you have now. That is the only DAC I have heard so far that can get every smallest detail from the recording , yet even the harsh, bad, unlistenable recordings sound sweet and analog and warm. Those two things...

    Mytek Brooklyn Thread

    After a few years of enjoying my Brooklyn DAC+ I upgraded to a Manhattan II. I expected a very small difference if any (after all the Brooklyn is very, very good!). But the difference is ginormous.

    Where do I adjust the latency in Stereo Tool VST? Can you post a screenshot? Thanks

    Connecting Two Computers for DSD Playback

    Yes, FLAC files and such. I use the same VST plugin Stereo Tool, have used it for the past 5 years or so, cant live without it. Please explain the "exclusive mode", never heard of it. Thank you for suggesting VAC as well.

    Connecting Two Computers for DSD Playback

    Hey, gang. I have a problem. I can use either a VST plugin or a DSD conversion. I need both. I use JRiver MC v28, which is outstanding in all aspects. A few years ago I got hooked on a VST plugin that is very recourse-demanding. The PC where the JRiver+VST installation runs has enough RAM (16GB)...

    Please contact them first . They may not be doing any upgrades for a while. Or handling support tickets for that matter. I opened a ticket back in the beginning of April. All I heard was "transferring to Brooklyn office", that is it. I don't blame them one bit. In times like this many gear...

    It is not enough to have a good DAC like the Brooklyn, you also have to use a good power cable, digital and analog interconnects. But rarely audiophiles pay any attention to USB ports on their MediaServers or HTPC computers. That doesnt make sense: paying a grand or two for a USB cable that...

    Mytek Brooklyn Thread

    That sums it up perfectly, thanks. The entire errand is futile. I am sure this DSD thing is a fad that wont last out the year (and it is December the 31st!) I am sure I won't be able to tell a difference between a 48khz/24bit and a 41kHz/16bit version of the same LP rip, so there is no need to...

    Mytek Brooklyn Thread

    I recently read that a Brooklyn DAC+ can also be used as an ADC. I cant see how that would be possible. Besides, there is a Brooklyn ADC Mytek makes, why would they kill their cash cow by combining both functionalities in single device? The reason I am asking I got into digitizing my vinyl. The...

    Thank you, but that was not the answer to the question. May I have an answer please?

    So, either jack can be used and both will sound equally good? Or just one? Which and why?

    Mytek Brooklyn Thread

    I have never heard the Golden Atlantic, it may be as good as you say. But mind the price difference. The Brooklyn is $2,000, the Lampizator is $10,000. That is a five times price difference. I am sure a dCS Vivaldi stack will, in turn, smoke the Lampizator , but that DAC costs $108,496.00. You...

    It is one thing to enjoy a Brooklyn DAC+ in a modest desktop setup with monitors, but it is a completely different level of enjoyment to listen to it with a good, reference level tube power amp like Audio Research Reference 75. Only then you begin to comprehend what that excellent DAC can...
