Should Sound Quality of Computer Audio be improved
Petty,Don't you understand that you can use your CDs in a computer? You can rip it at CD quality if you like. Or just play it. If ripped, it can even sound better than the original!As many have said above NO ONE IS REPLACING other formats. But you...

Petty, your premis continues to be wrong.I have explained MP3. You can choose if you want higher rez. So get off that argument of low bandwidth. It's a red herring. If anything, CD is low bandwidth today.You have more choice than ever. In fact you... 
Do you believe in Magic?
Bryon,Count me in for the therapy group. There is a thread right there.What would be in the therapy room? Obviously the wall would be padded with diffusion devices & bass traps. Soft music playing in the room,but from what system? Surely it wo...

Point taken & understood Byron.Sometimes speedily expressing ones self in these little boxes can lead to points that with a little closer inspection could have been worded better.Much as I enjoy these online communities there is nothing like t...

Petty everything moves on. Change is universal. Nothing stands still. You are seeing the dawn of medias all converging.The equipment is better than its ever been, and I'm sure it will continue to refine & redefine. Whether other formats surviv... 
Do you believe in Magic?
Most eloquently put Byron. But one has to understand & keep in mind the obsessive illness that does dominate this hobby. For some its a frustrating experience as they chase an unknown state. Slightly better is just around the corner.It is easy...

Very sorry to hear such sad news. RIP Paul. May the bass be deep & controlled, & the highs open & extended up there.BestChad

Poor Pettyofficer,Change is the only guarantee. Nothing stands still. Doomed is the thing that does.I can feel your pain. Market forces are cornering you. I'm sure you'll be able to find your other formats in the future. You could even burn (I mea...

Pettyofficer,So you do not have a server? You have a CD player that can only play red-book and possibly SACD at best. Is that correct?Sometimes I feel we speak different languages. Am I correct in thinking that you would not even consider somethin... 
Mach2Music mini and Amarra : Huge disappointment
Pettyofficer,I'd hate to be around you if there was a real problem. Simple steps. Take the advice, implement it & never touch the computer again. Just select the album/track & play. No pain no gain like all hifi. Just set it up my friend. ...

Why not just get a server with it all built in Petty? Bypass all the computer issues.There is the Weiss MAN202. I have not heard it, but know the DAC section it is based on which is very good. Control it all from an iPad. Sorted. 
Mach2Music mini and Amarra : Huge disappointment
Pettyofficer,I used a PC yesterday to playback some stuff, & I must admit itwas a pain in the ass. As I nearly always use my mac controlled via iPadit was a very different experience. No where near the delightful experience of choosing which a... 
Mach2Music mini and Amarra : Huge disappointment
Talk2me,as you went to all the trouble of getting your wadia modified, obviously even Wadia were not good enough for you. I had a statement wadia with full GNSC mods too. It was eclipsed by my multibox DCS which was the same as my computer with Am... 
Mach2Music mini and Amarra : Huge disappointment
Pettofficer,You are probably right. I must be some kind of digital single processor goth as I thought that was funny. Computer music has finally crushed that last bit of hope out of me.In fact now you mention it I just realised I am a machine. Not... 
Mach2Music mini and Amarra : Huge disappointment
Lol. Pettyofficer,There is no new sample rate every week. They are fixed. As explained above the best you will find will be 24/192k. Not that new. Nearly all DAC chips made in the last few years are really for video. So all will be more than capab...
