Φαίνεται να είναι πρόβλημα firmware, το οποίο θα λυθεί με την ανάλογη αναβάθμιση εν ευθέτω χρόνω. Εκνευριστικό έως και εξοργιστικό για τους early adopters, αλλά η προϊστορία της εταιρείας με κάνει αισιόδοξο.
Ψυχραιμία. Που τις διάβασες;
αλλά η προϊστορία της εταιρείας με κάνει αισιόδοξο.
Πετράν, είμαι βέβαιος πως θα ανταμειφθείς στο τέλος
κριμα όμως για το όνομα της εταιρίας
Αληθεια, τι προβληματα παρουσιαζει;
(post #150)Today I had the time to really test and evaluate it.
Unfortunately i have to confirm your claims.
After 48 hours my initial impressions that something goofy went on in the way It reproduces music (i have allready mentioned that discretely) have unfortunately been confirmed.
It seems to empasize certain parts of a recording while throwing others in the background rendering It's own interperetation totally messing up some recordings and making others sound unfammiliar..
For example in the song "60 feet tall" by "The dead Weather" It was as if I was listening the recording through the singers booth and guitars which normally sound very loud and airy in this recording were playing like outside the soundproof vocal booth, barely audible.. Also the distinctive reverb in the singer's voice was totally gone truly as If I was In the booth listening to her recording her voice. I don't know how the Brooklyn did that but that glorious recording has been completely messed up.. Also the only functioning digital input is the usb, spdif seemed to lock up in the display but did not produce any sound..
Allright I am not crazy (but almost went crazy during these days) i know what I wrote. It did sound warm and non fatiguing and opened up after the first few hours but after leaving it to play continuously for 48 hours and trying another digital input (the spdif which did not function properly) and the rca as well the balanced outputs to make sure, I can now certainly say that something is seriously wrong with the way this dac reproduces music. Also a comparison with the Ifi i dsd micro my other dac left me disappointed since the Mytek may sound more dynamic but despite that It did sound goofy and wrong and left me puzzled to say the least.
Apparently we have a very premature release here but I would advise anybody thinking of getting It to hold their horses until It matures. I have contacted Mytek Support and am waiting for a reply.
I'll post again when i have something new to say..
Αυτος ημουν εγω...
Εγώ πάλι δεν καταλαβαίνω πως το software επιδρά τόσο αρνητικά στην ποιότητα του ήχου...
Μήπως τελικά υπάρχει πρόβλημα στο υλικό?
σοβαρό και ευγενικό πόστ...

τέλος πάντων υπομονή.
Το πρόβλημα θα λυθεί σύντομα.
Είμαι σίγουρος.
Η mytek κινείται στον επαγγελματικό χώρο και όχι στον hiend και εκεί δεν είναι παιξε γέλασε.
Δεν τους παίρνει να μείνει έτσι.

O λόγος που απέφυγα να ποστάρω εδώ ..για όσο κράτησε αυτό.. και που ακόμα αποφεύγω να επεκταθώ σε λεπτομέρειες είναι οτι ήδη αισθάνομαι απαίσια για το τσουνάμι αρνητικότητας που πιθανόν να προκάλεσα στο Computer Audiophile (οκ όχι μόνο εγώ αλλα καί εγω) χωρις να το θέλω και χωρίς να ξέρω ακόμα τι έχει συμβεί. Φαντάσου το τί θα γινόταν εδώ άν έπαιρνα φόρα δεδομένης της εμφυτης τάσης μας στην υστερία και την γκρίνια σαν λαός..
Όταν έρθει η ώρα τα τα χώσω ..πού δέν το πιστεύω.. τότε θα το κάνω χωρίς αναστολές, προς το παρόν είμαι σε αναμονή..
Παραθέτω μέρος του δελτίου τύπου που έλαβα ενόψει του σόου στο Βέγκας, πουθενά δεν αναφέρει για μισοετοιμο προϊόν. Κατά την διάρκεια του σόου καμία εταιρία δεν ασχολείται με εξέλιξη καθώς όλοι κοιτούν το PR. Αν τα προβλήματα είναι τόσο σοβαρά θα πάρει παραπάνω από μια εβδομάδα για να διορθωθούν
Mytek Digital’s MQAΒοΏ½-Ready
βBrooklynβ Leads the DAC Field
Mytek’s New Brooklyn USB 2.0 DAC/Preamplifier/Headphone Amplifier
Features High-Resolution PCM and DSD Playback, MQA Decoding,
MM/MC Phono Inputs, and Balanced Headphone Outputs.
2016 CES and Brooklyn, NY, January 6, 2016 β Mytek Digital’s affordable new hometown-namesake Digital-to-Analog converter, linestage, and headphone amplifier, the βBrooklyn,β is now shipping. (US MSRP $1,995)
In terms of formats and functionality (as well as sound quality in its price tier), Mytek’s Brooklyn leads the field. The Brooklyn Dodgers of old would be proud!
Says MichaΕ Jurewicz, Founder and President of Mytek Digital: βThe Brooklyn DAC is one of the world's first stand-alone, high-performance DAC with MQAΒοΏ½ technology. It’s a new design from the ground up, with a brand new 32bit/384k USB Class2, driverless on Mac and all Linux streamers, and offers superior sound thanks to the new generation Sabre chipset. It’s ready for upcoming hi-res MQA streaming (up to 384kHz), and it plays all digital formats including DSD256, with a theoretical dynamic range of 130dB. The Brooklyn also offers high-quality analog input stages (both line-level and MM/MC phono), and balanced headphone outputsβ.

Prime among the Brooklyn’s future-proof features is hardware-based decoding for MQAΒοΏ½ (Master Quality Authenticated). MQA’s βkiller appealβ is its ability to deliver studio quality, βMaster Quality Assuredβ streaming with no need to increase bandwidth beyond what is needed for CD-Quality streaming. Says MQA creator Bob Stuart, βYou can take an MQA-encoded file, play it anywhere, and it will sound better than CD.β
MQA files are backwards compatible; they can be played back without decoding, and the result is better than CD-Quality. However, when properly decoded, MQA files deliver the sound of the original master recording that the artist approved in the studio. The Brooklyn has sprinted to the head of the high-resolution DAC/HPA pack by being one of the first standalone DACs (along with Meridian’s) with hardware-based MQA decoding.
Were MQA not enough, Mytek’s Brooklyn also offers:
Digital Inputs: AES/EBU, S/PDIF x 2, USB2 Class 2 (32 bit integer, no driver for Mac nor Linux Streamers) , and Toslink/ADAT; also SDIF3 DSD, up to DSD256, on 2x S/PDIF.
Built-in audiophile-quality analog preamplifier with stereo analog RCA inputs selectable among Line Level, Moving Magnet, or Moving Coil phono.
Stereo analog outputs on RCA and XLR jacks (simultaneous).
Word Clock (In and Out) on BNC jacks.
Mytek’s proprietary Femtoclock GeneratorTM minimizes internal jitter, to below 1 picosecond.
Dual-mono reference-quality headphone playback, with high-current amplifier (500mA, 6 Watts) designed for hard-to-drive headphones. Optional adapter (2 x ΒΌ-inch phone plugs to 4-pin XLR) enables balanced headphone operation.
Volume control is selectable, either by an analog attenuator with separate settings for headphone and main outputs, or by a 32-bit based digital attenuator with 1dB steps.
The Brooklyn’s jewelry-quality, artistically sculpted casework is available in Matte Silver or Black.
With headphone and line-level outs, MQA decoding and vinyl playback, the Brooklyn is ready to serve as the heart of a thoroughly modern hi-fi that embraces the future while celebrating the past. The Brooklyn comes with a worldwide power supply and infrared remote control. The Brooklyn is universal-remote-control capable, and can accept external 12V DC power or battery. The Brooklyn’s warranty is two years.
Mytek’s Brooklyn is available now at a US MSRP of $1,995.
