| Various Wadia players.. can someone order them Interesting.. the seller of the 6i maintains that the 6 is quite an old player but the i upgrade makes it essentially a 650. True, not true?-Adam | |
| What is this interconnect? Wow.. thanks for all of your help! So, the general consensus on the cables is - quite good. Probably no need to go searching for another cable in the $150 (used) range to replace them, then.. yes?-Adam | |
| Sound quality vs. Mood I find it absolutely insane that the subjective context of the listening session is not given supreme importance. In certain moods, I'll sit in my car, in my driveway, and listen to and old Kempf performance (or something similar) and be enthralle... | |
| Transports not important any longer? A DSD is a product from Assemblage (Sonic Frontiers) which acts as a jitter reducer and an upsampler. It also outputs the bitsream through a cable known as a I2SE - which includes the clock's signal on a seperate wire. My question about the chord ... | |

| What Headphones? Looking to upgrade.......... I just purchased a set of Stax Omega's. The holy grail of headphones, no doubt. The price, here in the U.S. is insane ($6k) - but buying from Japan takes it down by more than 50%! I haven't listened to my, quite nice but not insane, stereo in week... | |
| Create a DVD-audio on personal computer? Not only that, but are there any DVD units for the computer which can play SACD's?-Adam | |
| Help me with a fully balanced DAC Regarding Theta products, the Miles CD player looks interesting as well, but a couple of things concern me.First, I don't like the idea of having the cd player modify the analog gain - simply because that is what my $3000 headphone amplifier is do... |
