| Is computer audio a bust? labyrinth, your mad ramblings about Tara Labs would be better received in Asia. Spend some time on the Audioexotics site and you will see. That audio community always seems to be chasing the lunatic fringe (where cost is no object). Sadly, we in t... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? 08-10-14: After_hrsProbably the most startlingly realistic sound I've ever encountered was the Overkill loudspeaker at T.H.E a few years back. I've heard tremendous horn systems (in homes) tweaked to the hilt, effortless, clear, powerful etc but n... | |

| Is computer audio a bust? 08-07-14: BcgatorWe've had this discussion with him in another thread, explaining that I'm getting great audio quality over USB, and to him this is all a fig newton of my imagination. He doesn't care if aliens from 5000 years into the future show ... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD 08-10-14: Radiohead99Great thread and some great dacs. But I can't help wondering that the using mac mini is the bottleneck and not doing remotely any justice to these top of the line dacs.It absolutely is and one reason why the ODSE has a distinc... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD 08-10-14: McondonReading this thread has been very interesting, but I do wonder whether a Mac Mini, even if upgraded for audio, is an optimal digital source. Also, I have found that there is often an interaction between source and DAC that can mak... | |

Turning on the printing press means you are not facing the real issues just postponing what needs to be done.On the surface, neither the ECB or Fed are doing a good job. On another level, everything is going... |
