    Tascam Porta One u510

    Hey y'all, It's my first time posting on this forum, so I'll try to be as concise as possible. I bought a Tascam Porta One Ministudio cassette recorder a while back, and it can do basically anything except record, which is bad for obvious reasons. The tapes play, the VU meters work, everything...

    Most noticeable DAC upgrade over a Chromecast Audio

    Nope. I don't need it. But might want it. Lots of DAC vs. Chroemast DAC threads out there. Not trying to rehash the insanity. Just want to know what DAC's y'all think truly sound better to the naked (nude, dare I say) human ear. Graphs and charts are fine- but I'm more looking for, "yeah...

    What are the best Type II cassettes?

    As many may know, I love the warm analog sound of cassette tapes. In fact, I often record digital sources to cassette to get that "sound". Perhaps I am just totally nuts!! :eek: It can very well be. :biggrin: What are the best Type II cassettes? My top three are: (1) Denon HD8 (a hybrid...

    OPPO UDP-205 DAC

    I want to connect an OPPO UDP205 to my vintage Harman Kardon 730 receiver. If I connect it through the stereo RCA cable would I be taking advantage of the OPPO’S analog DAC? Or is there another way? Thanks.

    This may (Or may not) be an absurd question but, I was wondering if remastered vinyl could be considered true analog since some parts of the 'remaster' are done digitally?
