| why do so many discussions turn contentious? All blogs contain some vicious people, empowered by the anonymous nature of it. I learned long ago, through blogs other than audiogon, to simply ignore them. It actually carries much more weight than arguing with them. They do not like to be ignor... | |
| Upgrade my CD player or futile effort? Just woke up, of course arrow in direction of signal, duh.Thanks for the tip. | |
| Upgrade my CD player or futile effort? @jredeiiIt's coming from Singapore so it will be a while. Plus they say they do a 100 hrs burn in and other steps before it ships, which seems like great customer service. Will update in time. | |
| Upgrade my CD player or futile effort? @soix Arrow pointing to DAC I assume? | |
| Upgrade my CD player or futile effort? @soix I already bought the one you recommended!Thanks. | |
| Upgrade my CD player or futile effort? I appreciate the suggestion for a CD transport. After I see what the DAC is doing, I will probably go down that road. But doing one change at a time is something I need to stick to. In the past I got multiple new parts to my system at once and it ... | |
| Upgrade my CD player or futile effort? Nice confirmation, thanks. I think it was a sensible step forward for me in digital. | |
| Upgrade my CD player or futile effort? Done deal!Ordered the R2R Denafrips Ares IICouldn't have done it without you guys input. | |
| Upgrade my CD player or futile effort? @oldaudiophile.Yes, I have it set to audio EX 2, always have. It still is not in the league of some of the new DACs from what I now understand. | |
| Upgrade my CD player or futile effort? You guys are the best! A lot of very good advice from many different directions. The one that resonate to me is do one improvement at a time. Been guilty of not doing that in the past. The other one that comes back most often is get an external DA... | |
| Upgrade my CD player or futile effort? @ghdprentice Thoughtful post, thanks. A lot to digest since I am just debating going down the digital road. As far as streaming, even so it may be the way things are heading now, it isn't for me. I grew up reading every word of every vinyl cover I... | |
| Upgrade my CD player or futile effort? @soix , just the info I needed. Obviously now I know going with a better CDP without a DAC is worthless. I did not know that because I never cared to research it. Thanks for schooling me. | |
| Upgrade my CD player or futile effort? I much appreciate the input so far since my digital knowledge is limited. As I am unsure of the improvements a DAC will bring to my CDP, what about starting with the Denafrips Ares II? I am currently not interested about all the bells and whistles... | |
| "I have the best system in the world!" An Audiophile's Journey Gilles is pretty cool. The one thing that sticks out about his listening room is the vast amount of acoustic treatment. Indeed that is a MAJOR part of any truly satisfying listening experience. Sadly too many listeners here rely mostly only on top... | |
