| amarra or pure music..? Tvad,to be honest I have had no real issues until now. The continuous updates sometimes cause as many issues as they solve. Aside from this new issue in Amarra I could not be happier. I know others had had other differing issues.The convenience of... | |
| amarra or pure music..? Hi mapman,I have media player on one of my studio computers and it does sound a little different from the mastering and production software on the same machine. Not by much. There is something in the treble which is more relaxed and it is not quit... | |
| amarra or pure music..? I have been trying out Fidelia which I think sounds even better than Amarra. I am not a fan of Fidelia's interface. Personally I love using the Art work cover flow interface in Itunes to search through the library using Amarra in the background as... | |
| amarra or pure music..? Has anyone tried comparing the latest Amarra 2.1.1 vs Pure music 1.74 or any other like Fidelia recently?I have tried Amarra's latest (2.1.1) vs Pure music's (1.74) and much prefer Amarra. I am getting very upset with Amarra's continuous glitch is... | |
| Is this the END of DAYS for the high end CD player Hi Wayneker,I think it is fairly simple. A Mac mini, but replace the internal HD with a SSD. I have my mac on a separate isolated electrical spur to my Hifi system and I use a passive mains filter (Audio Magic Stealth XXX) and a nice power cable (... | |
| Is this the END of DAYS for the high end CD player Wayneker2176,Daniel Weiss makes exceptional digital kit. He also makes the MAN202 a network transport. Since you seem to be caught up in spending $50,000 on a CD player I would have a listen to his more modest but still very expensive approach.In ... | |
| Is this the END of DAYS for the high end CD player Aplhifi,you have taken some of my statements out of context. What I was getting at was the CD/DVD drives when used with specific ripping software can produce amazing results and make a nonsense of expensive transports. Not that any old CD/DVD driv... | |
| Is this the END of DAYS for the high end CD player Hi Wayneker2176,It is possible you just like something in the presentation of your 069. Job done.But I would suggest for your Mac there are a few ripping softwares you could try. MAX is free and can convert to anything you like too. If you are a M... | |
| Is this the END of DAYS for the high end CD player Wayneker2176,I think your sonic issues are more to do with your computer set up and the type of digital connection you use. Dont use the CD ROM as a transport(!). Use the computer as a library playing from memory.I know of no modern hard drives th... | |
| Is this the END of DAYS for the high end CD player Hi Wayneker2176,Fplanner2010,I find it hard to believe you are finding better texture, spacial info and especially dynamics from a CD in real time than by a well set up computer server. But I am sure you hear what you hear. I have had 2 generation... | |
| Is this the END of DAYS for the high end CD player Hi Fplanner2010,what differences do you hear in your transport versus your server?I have yet to hear a laser reading data from a cd sounding better than data from cache. In every case I found the laser in real time sounding a bit masked or vague i... | |
| Is this the END of DAYS for the high end CD player It is over. RIP CD players and CDs. You served us well in the end. Did anyone actually try the original CD destruction tests? I seem to remember the adverts smearing CDs with jam or hitting them with a hammer then playing them. Oh the 1980s... Mus... | |
| WHAT ABOUT CLOCKS? Koegz,I never tried the Paganini. I went straight from the Elgar plus to the Scarlatti. I am not saying not to try the DCS clock. They make some of the finest kit in the world and their systems work beautifully. What I am saying is I got tired of ... | |
| WHAT ABOUT CLOCKS? I think the separate external clock/DAC/transport is an old way of solving the problem for hifi. A clock is fine in some complex recording studio situations where multiple digital systems needed to be in sync.But I would suggest you save your mone... | |
| Should I use pre-amp Save your money. You have one source. By the time you have found the right cables and a preamp you will wish you never started.Every preamp I have tried, gave with one hand and took away with the other. If you have leading edge information and cla... |
