I believe the Audioquest Coaxial cable is a higher end cable than the Audioquest Toslink Optical cable... Did you swap these over to see whether this made any difference?
Hoi ivar. De cdm 4 loopwerken van Philips zijn inderdaad heel goed en betrouwbaar. Ik gebruik nu een Philips cd 614 speler en die heeft ook dat zelfde loopwerk en klinkt geweldig. Fijn weekend. Gr André de vries.
Still wondering how transports can have a sound signature since the decoding is done in the Denafrips. I hope no dsp is going on. It must be all down to clean power and clock. I recently look at the test Alpha Audio did with 5 or six transports and the differences were not small.
Hi, it could be that, but maybe also a transport benefits from not having all the extra electronics inside that would be there if this was a CD player 🤷♂️ Anyways, thanks for watching
@@theaudiophilebarista2424 Also, the signal that goes from the transport to the dac isn't digital. Its an analog representation of the digital signal. That means the "digital" signal can be effected by the same things any other analog signal.
Hi, thanks for watching. The first reason for the weight is because the heavy cabling keeps pulling the DAC from its place. And the second reason is for resonance control.
@@r423sdex Resonance can cause interference to the music signal through vibrations in the electronics. This is well known and well documented, but some people still don’t believe this. I have no equipment to measure things like that
. Why would a Transport have an expensive, temperature controlled Clock when 99% of DACs will ignore & re-clock anyway? I don't want to pay for useless features. Acid Jazz, Funk & Brass 🔈🔉🔊
I have the Audiolab 9000CDT, that has a Teac transport and gives quite a detailed sound and required matching with a smooth Dac. I also see Teac have since stepped up their game with the new Teac VRDS-701T and Teac VRDS-701 models.
Well done, Ivar. I'm going to go out on a limb and say the CDs are going to sound the same.😁That said, the difference between the optical and coaxial translators might make a small but noticeable difference. I don't think it will change things dramatically, but it might be worth switching the two. Congrats on the new transport. It looks fantastic.
Thanks my friend. It does look great indeed 😀 Yes, I’m aware the test could be much more extensive, but then I had to change the setup completely. After having the Avatar finally settled in I was not ready to do that. Maybe another time. Thanks for watching 👍☕️🔊
@@Jeipr well, I was explicitly referring to the Denafrips ARES II DAC. The one that the video mentions. I owned this DAC and tried all sorts of connections with it. Did you also try ARES II connections?

Hey, youre using an Audion Silver Night 300B.. very nice amp.. great for being able to do side by side audio comparisons
@@graemeaudion Thanks. I love my Silver Night 😉👍
blij te horen dat de audiolab goed uit je test komt 👍🏻
De Audiolab is absoluut de moeite waard.

I did not. The coaxial cable was too short for that

Hello,
Why do you have a weight on your Denifrips Aries?
Thanks.
Hi, thanks for watching.
The first reason for the weight is because the heavy cabling keeps pulling the DAC from its place.
And the second reason is for resonance control.
What does the resonance do ?. Have you done measurements to see what frequency these are.

Fantastic..my cd 💿 player of MANY DECADES has passed on 🙁..and I’m thinking of what to be its replacement 🤔
Great video 👍
Hi there Toronto, thanks for watching and sorry for your loss 🫤
Are you looking for a player or a transport?
A transport..and I went with the 6000
@@carminedesanto6746 Good choice. Beautiful machine 👍
Ivar, do you still have the Denafrips CD? Is it reliable? Thanks!
Hi, yes I still have it. No problems at all.
@@theaudiophilebarista2424 thanks Ivar!! Much appreciated 👍🏻

Btw, I’m also running the Denafrips Ares 12-1 DAC 😎

I was very much interested in the new Teac, but then this one came along 😀

Smooth dac ! Its only job is to convert the data, as near to perfection as possible. £100 will get you there.

Nonsense. The Audiolab 6000 is obsolete. The 9000cdt came out more than six months ago.
@@tonyfrench1081 So? 🤷♂️
TOSlink / optical is usually the weakest input. I had an Aries II, and USB worked best, then Coax, then TOSlink.
Not true
@@r423sdex 🥱
That depends on the integration and quality of connection.
Some equipment the usb is the weakest link and some dont

Let us hear the two and judge for ourselves, most people won't claim to hear any of the stuff you think you're hearing.
Please don’t tell me what to do on my channel.
If you don’t trust me there are plenty of other channels to watch.
