The History of the Compass: (Read this specially if you're new to audio gear and Head-fi.)
指南针的历史(如果你是个不了解器材的新手,请认真阅读)
Like many people, back when I took an interest in Head-fi, I'd been using a good pair of headphones straight out of my computer. As the pads on my headphones had worn out, I was considering a new pair of headphones to replace them. With a budget of about $200-300, I headed to the local electronics shop to try out a few pairs, but thought I'd read around Head-fi to see what people liked. Like many other people, as soon as you ask about half-decent headphones, someone chimes in with "But you'll need a decent amp to drive them.". So you start looking for a decent amp. Then someone chimes in, "If you get an amp, you'll need a decent DAC too, your soundcard wont be good enough". Ok, so that makes what I need not just $200 for headphones, but a couple of hundred for an amp, and the same again for a DAC. Ouch.
和很多人一样,当我对耳机发烧有兴趣的时候,我早已拥有一付不错的耳机直接接在电脑上。当耳罩破旧的时候,我思考需要一付新的来替换。预算是200-300美元。约合(1350-2050RMB)
我去本地电子市场尝试购买一付,但是尽管我阅读了许多帖子来看看其他人的喜好,就像其的他人那样。当你一发贴询问想购买付过得去的耳机,一些家伙跳出来说:但是你需要个耳放去推它。当你开始找到了个不错的耳放时,又有人插话说,如果你搞了个很好的耳放,你也得弄个不错的DAC,你的声卡肯定不够好。好吧,这使我不仅仅需要一个200美元的耳机,还要几百美元的耳放和DAC。呃,心痛。
With decent headphones, you need an amp because it can drive the diaphragms of the headphones much better than a crappy sound card (or CD player). You need a dedicated DAC (Digital to Analogue Converter) because your sound card, even if it's a good one, is seriously compromised so that it will work in a computer, not to mention will pick up a lot of interference from other components.
有了付好耳机,你需要个耳放因为他能比糟糕的声卡或者随身听驱动耳机振膜更好。你需要个专门的解码器因为即使你的声卡很不错,他也是严重妥协的在计算机内工作更不用说其他组件的干扰了。
However, rather than having to buy two components, some companies make an all-in-one device that is both a DAC and a headphone amp. You buy one box, plug it into your computer, plug your headphones into the box, and you're set. The most popular device for doing this on Head-fi is possibly the Zero DAC. Made in China, costing only $99 and, most importantly, sounding good, it was a hard purchase to argue with. What's more, over year, a number of people experimented with modifying it to improve the sound. This was easy because a couple of critical components (known as OPAMPs) could be popped out of their sockets and replaced with many of the thousands of others on the market. This got to the point where even the eBay sellers were modifying them and shipping them to customers for up to about $220. That's quite a jump from $99, but so was the sound quality.
然而,比起购买2个组件,一些公司制作了个包含耳放和解码的整合器材。你只需要把它连上电脑,把耳机插上,设置好即可。现在论坛上最流行的这样的整合器材就是 ZERO DAC了,中国制造,仅需99美元,重要的是声音很好,这是具有争议性的艰难购买。更何况转过年,很多人尝试摩机来改进它的声音表现。这很容易,因为OP运放有插座,可以插拔,用市场上许多同类替换。这使得ebay的卖家摩机完毕后卖给用户价格高达220美元(合1500人民币),这相对于99美元跳跃幅度很大,但是音质值得。
(red5注。本文这位作者似乎很乐意介绍中国的超值器材到head fi,ZERO DAC是指国内的天韵ZERO,市价在600人民币上下。正好我有一台,听起来很一般的机器,廉价的声音表现,国外爱好者多用来摩机。) |
