| Synergistic Research Tesla Apex vs. Tara the One Flashunlock, you know what, I meant to write the Zero. Thanks for your insights into the 0.8. Thewebgeek, yep, you are right. Just doing some advance recon before I decide which way to go. Also thinking about the Jormas, Teos, and a few others. Fo... | |
| Linn Abandons CD Players Pettioficer, you're right. Same goes for photos and home movies. I backup everything to another disc, and also send it to offline storage. There are companies that let you store an unlimited amount of data and only charge you if you need to downlo... | |
| Linn Abandons CD Players I'm all for downloads instead of physical digital discs. Haven't had a transport for over a year. But that is because I rip CDs and play back from hard disk. What scares me is what a poster descibed above about going into Best Buy and seeing 1/6th... | |
| New favorite VINYL Album? David Gilmour - Live in Gdansk. | |
| Denon 2900 - useable w/o TV connected? Sure. I use my old Denon 2800 in a secondary rig for CD playback. | |
| HDMI cable made a difference in picture quality?? My 2 cents is try to find out if the cable you're interested in has a good reputation for staying in the HDMI port. The HDMI connector is inherently flawed in that it is a small plug that relies on friction to stay in. Some HDMI cable connectors s... | |
| empirical audio or lynx aes 16 sound card Antipodes - I'm also not sure what 2-D means. So, I don't know whether you characterize it correctly. As you said, they don't provide a good explaination on their web site, so it may or may not be similar to what the other dacs are doing. Yes, the... | |
| empirical audio or lynx aes 16 sound card IMO, the answer is it depends on one thing: If you are using a DAC that doesn't do 2-dimensional jitter reduction, then I recommend using the EA converter. If you use a DAC that does 2-D jitter reduction, then it doesn't matter whether you use USB... | |
| The Downside to Dedicated Lines vs. the Benefits Interesting post, and timely. I am involved in a very similar scenario at the moment. There seem to be two conflicting lines of thought here. The first says put everything on one circuit. The second says separate out digital and analog. And what i... | |
| Why don't gold based cable fans try Synergistic Blindjim, you mentioned that someone would inherently need to use SR throughout their system. Why is this so? I've been looking into SR and wondering if the active shield would cause interference in adjacent cables that aren't well shielded. Is th... | |
| Best audiophile multichannel SACD player The Denon 5910ci is mentioned above. I would guess the posters haven't owned this player. I own one and think it's a wonderful player. But it definitely does not have a "warm, analog-like sound." If you're looking for that, save your time and look... | |
| Anti Cables to join my system, are they enough? I generally agree with Bill (Audiofeil). Of the cables that I've tried, they have an unmatched price-performance ratio. But in my system, the interconnects and speaker cables didn't have the detail of some pricier cables. You also need to be caref... | |
| Isoclean vs. Oyaide Dlcockrum, thank you for the link to your enlightening review. Very helpful. | |
| Digital Audio Denmark DACs Niemeijer, sorry, I never saw your post earlier. That was Carlos who you are quoting, not me. But I think Carlos was explaining that the AX24 can only receive a 2xDSD signal that is in the SDIF-3 format. So, you would need the SDIF-3 input card in... | |
| DSD from a Server to dCS Delius via Firewire? To clarify, the Weiss takes PCM via firewire, but not DSD. My point was that there are some DACs that can receive certain signals via firewire.I agree, the Delius can't receive DSD from a PC via its firewire port -- the Delius port is strictly use... |
