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...

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.

Thanks, got it.

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

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.

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...

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...

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

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?

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...

I would really urge you to stop powering the Mytek with that SBooster. It may damage the unit if the power it supplies is deficient. Just get a replacement from Upscale. Kevin is a nice person, he will help out. I am sorry you are going through this ordeal, Freesole. There is nothing worse than...

That is why I like Keces P-8 external power supply. Not only it has three power outputs, two of them are also switchable between different voltages, it also shows how many volts and amperes it outputs for each zone (device):

Like everyone else stated, that is an unusual problem. Most likely the SBooster either provides the wrong power to the Mytek or is set to an incorrect voltage intake. I think there is a switch inside it , see the "main intake voltage switch" in the pic here. As far as the wrong power output...

Congrats. Looks good. Happy that you are happy, but please dont repeat my mistake. Don't put anything on top of the Keces P8. Mine ran almost cold-to-warm for a while. So, I kept a Mytek Brooklyn and an SoTM tx-USBultra on top of the Keces. Then after a few months the Keces began running hot...

If you are implying that network has no digital jitter or even has lower jitter than any other route (USB, SPDIF, COAX, etc.) you are sadly mistaken. A lot of people make the same mistake. To quote from the link above: Even if you add a $12,000 atomic clock to the Mytek (I am not sure if the...

There are three major reclocker/conditioner makers: iFi Audio Uptone SoTM I use the last one . It is 3 or 4 times more expensive than the first two, but it takes the Brooklyn to a whole another level. This review explains why that happens. It is not about a Mytek, but an Ayre, but the principle...

No, the Uptone Regen will make things worse. That is why I wrote "not a cheap one". The Regen is designed to improve signal from DACs that are so inherently bad, they have not been even invented yet.

One more thing, if you are looking for a better bang for the buck, consider a good USB reclocker/conditioner (not a cheap one, those will only make things worse). That improvement is much more profound than an external power supply. Mytek would not acknowledge that because it would imply that...

First off, you can't estimate an improvement in percentages. That is a flawed methodology. Secondly, even if there was a way to subjectively calculate that somehow, the number would have been largely dependent of many factors: 1) Your other gear. What preamp do you have? What power amp? What...
