| Updated Releases of the Chord DAC 64 I believe it must be-- partly due to it's allegedly ground breaking design,I find it unlikely it would have been updated already,the unit has only been advertised by dealers recently in the UK.By that I mean 2002,I think I saw the first magazine r... | |

| HDCD and XRCD. Which's one sound better? Ultrakaz-HDCD encoded discs work on normal CD players-end of story.I have recently changed to a HDCD dac,I already had about 2 dozen HDCD discs in my collection,they do sound better using the HDCD chip-a more 3d soundstage to be concise about it.C... | |

| Jazz Renaissance Tim,I think you are well ahead of the game,it took me into my thirties to even consider Jazz and then to realise I'd lost so much time to explore the goldmine that exists.You raise interesting questions about youth culture but I'm not sure that it... | |

| List of Unlabeled HDCD's I should have made it clear that the discs I mention as on the list but unmarked are indeed HDCD discs........ | |
| List of Unlabeled HDCD's Here's another slant on that question,2 Against Nature by Steely Dan is noted as a HDCD disc on the official site yet I have only seen it in the UK as a normal disc-anybody got an HDCD version?I'm with Sugarbie on this,off top of my head-The Doors... | |

| Quality of recording vs Musical tastes I'm totally into the remaster side of things,I've ended up with multiple versions of certain artists releases because of it.I think that is a seperate point from Sean's original post though.I also think regarding remasters it's nearly always stuff... | |
| Quality of recording vs Musical tastes Sean,I think you are close to the defining lines of what makes the difference between an audiophile and that of a music fan.I think the path you have taken is fine personally I try to veer away from that stance but I've flirted with it,to me reall... | |

| Chord DAC 64 This month's Hi-fi Choice magazine in the UK had the first indifferent review of the new Chord DAC 64.There was apparently some problem with the digital interconnect and the reviewer could only use an optical lead-the unit apparently won't use a p... |
