| Denon 2900 + DAC or 5900? the 64,000 dollar question would be how would say a Denon DVD-2900 with $1k in modifications stack up to the above two? That is, if you are willing to consider a modded player. They might be the best bang for the buck. But who knows. I think this ... | |
| SACD 2 channel vs Redbook 2 Channel No, Ritteri it is not close enough. the VHS/Betamax analog doesn't work for the most part since with video cassette player/recorders you were limited to physically supporting one format or the other. I am unaware of universal cassette players. Tho... | |
| Redbook layer on SACD - good enough? yeah, but the existence of the transparent layer could pose a problem for the cd player's optical pickup, no? The cd pickup (780 nm) would have to read through the transparent layer designed for the 650 nm SACD pickup, no? might that affect the so... | |
| SACD 2 channel vs Redbook 2 Channel Zoya, which SACD are you referring to? | |
| DAC for 500 Recommendations? I had a GDA600 DAC by Adcom. Nothing to write home about. It was a little too smooth and lacking in details, but was good for taming a bright system that I had at the time. A MSB Link III (never heard the earlier ones) would be a significant leap ... | |
| Differences in CD players? Am I crazy? subtle, but important differences. That pretty much sums up high end digital sources in my book. Some will say that you won't be able to hear these differences through your meager system. I disagree. You can hear the differences if you know what t... | |
| What seperates "hi-fi" from "mid-fi" in cdp's? thanks bigtee. | |
| What seperates "hi-fi" from "mid-fi" in cdp's? If only that were true Bigtee! It would be a happy day if "most" (even 10%, let alone 50%+) CDs were hybrid SACD. Sadly that is not so yet.Bigtee said on 10/21:Most newer CD's will be hybrids w/SACD layers. | |
| Do cd's store a more exact copy of sound than LP's cds store ones and zeros, not sound. | |
| What seperates "hi-fi" from "mid-fi" in cdp's? all the subtle, but important differences! Like the difference between a Shaolin monk and a heavyweight boxer (like someone mentioned in another thread). I imagine after living with a high-end source for a while, it would be tough to go back to a ... | |
| Best DAC for under $500 Do a search on the EVS millennium DAC 1. It would be in your budget. | |
| 24/96 vs 24/192 DAC Worry more about the implementation than whether an audio component has a "specific" technology or not. I would not pass up a 24/96 or even a non-upsampling DAC just because it is not 24/192. Same thing with DAC chips. Who cares whether it uses Bu... | |
| Money no object,,,,which speakers would you own??? Nice choice Twl. | |
| Wharfedale speakers I had previously bought some off of uBid. mine were the Wharfedale Emerald 97 model about 15 months ago. I think I paid about $250/pair with overnight FedEx shipping (the first pair was badly damaged by UPS ground). I think I paid about what they ... | |
