Digital Audio for Dummies
Thanks myoungva.  You clearly answered one of the questions I had on capturing bit perfect data via an inexpensive CD drive.  Excellent concise info.

So Lance, can you comment on what the the new LTA amp brings to the table?  It sounds like you are very enthusiastic about this product and am just curious on what it does that other amps have not.  Glad you made it back to THE Tekton DI thread.  ...

So are wav files currently "the best" way to go as far as SQ is concerned?What are you guys paying to download hi-res music? 
Tekton Double Impacts
Wow. Just got caught up on a parallel thread "Just want to auditon DI" and it seems all hell broke loose!  Sad to see that.  Glad this thread never  went in that direction (to that degree). Nothing wrong with disagreement but unfortunate when thin...

Got it.  Now that I think about it I see where it would be very unlikely hi-res would be streamed.  Thanks for the correction.  A necessary part of learning!

Thanks for the further clarification Steve.  Sure, that would bake sense as far as jitter in concerned.  And obviously streamed hi-res files can be superior.  But in that case we're comparing apples (Redbook) to oranges (Hi-res).  I was focused on...

" There is no doubt in my mind that my hardware playing .wav files beats ANY transport on the market. "So Steve, help me out here.  How can we both start with the same data on a Redbook CD and it ends up sounding better an a system like yours as ...

Appreciate all the feedback.  Obviously there's a lot to learn.  amg56, over time I hope I can give more specifics but I'm in a learning phase and it's a bit difficult right now to give more specifics.  I'm sure in time I will.One immediate questi...

Who has Luv for the Lyngdorf 2170 and is thinking about the 3400.
" Sorry, I will now shut up about it. "Please don't grey9hound!  I appreciate your encouragement.  You have inspired me to educate myself on what's out there.  So as to not get off topic, I think this would be a nice topic for a new thread. 
Who has Luv for the Lyngdorf 2170 and is thinking about the 3400.
grey9hound, I do appreciate your words of encouragement.  I recognize their are advantages as you have noted.  I guess in the end I favor a simple and reliable approach that uses equipment with a very high performance/price ratio.  Hence, my inter...

Redboob(k) aside, thanks for the feedback from those using the 2170 with this configuration.

The 2170 continues to interest me.  To raise the funds, would have to sell my PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium HP I use in a second system.  And I do enjoy that amp!  I wish I loved computer based audio but for multiple reasons I don't.  I like my CD's.... 
Missing the Old Days
While I love my Tekton DI's, I'm not sure their refined sound is what the OP is looking for.  I think back to the first time I heard and then bought a pair of of Altec Lansing Santana II's.  Rock and roll heaven.  And what about their even bigger ... 
Tekton Double Impacts
Thanks for the comments jcarcopo. I guess my point was why would Lyngdorf even bother with a DA convertor when you would just feed the digital output into one of their amps. I suspect the vast majority of their cd-2 players end up paired with thei...
