| Tascam DA-3000 DTCThe Ayre QA-9 you mention does have discrete (assumed class A) circuitry. It's easily double the cost of the Tascam and I am not sure if it's still available. Could not find any listed on 'Bay. The other issue is that the QA-9 requires a stand ... | |
| Tascam DA-3000 I was also looking at this device for digitizing vinyl. What concerns me is the use of 5532 op amps at the analog input and output of the device. I have auditioned op-amps like this via the tape loop of my Spectral DMC-10 pre-amp and they definite... | |
| Where's Digital playback at today ? You should audition a "true" digital playback system. Redbook CD players can only approximate the true digital content of a CD, because they cannot eliminate errors that occur when playing back CDs in real time.I am referring to a system that read... | |
| Anyone solved MF Tri Vista SACD problems? Hound Philips to oblivion? Are you serious?The abandonment of the large transport manufacturers like Philips and Sony with respect to CD/SACD drives is due to market supply and demand factors. No mass market, no volume demand, and companies like K... | |
| Parsound ZDAC kind of blowing my mind... I have always thought Parasound offers a great bang for your buck. I use JC1/2 amplification and have been very pleased with the sound. While Behringer equipment is often used in professional sound environments, I would not consider it even close ... | |
| Wadia 860 - remote s not working May sound simple but try changing the batteries in the remote. Sometimes the IR beam intensity drops off as the batteries get weak. If both your universal and OEM remotes don't function with fresh batteries, then you most likely do have a problem ... | |
| PC recomendation for cd ripping I don't think you need the fastest or most modern PC for ripping. I use dBPoweramp and a dual CPU Xeon 3.6GHz (Nocono processor) with an 800 MHz FSB and Win XP.The biggest factor IMHO is the CDROM/DVD drive. I use Plextor drives with an error dete... | |
| Considering Bryston BDA-1 for non-USB use I have a BDA-1 and love it, however I have never used its USB inputs. Only digital coax (and optical for my less critical and remotely located DTV cable box).I particularly like the Class A analog circuitry (the reason I bought it) and have used i... | |
| Anyone try the Bryston BDP-2 or the BDA-2 Dac I have the BDP-1 and the BDA-1 and very much like the sound. I am not using exotic cables or fuses. My amplification is Parasound JC1/2.I have been amazed at the detail and sonic information that the Bryston combo has restored from my CDs, particu... | |
| Phillips no longer producing transports Its no surprise to me. Bryston discontinued the the BCD-1 over a year ago for the same reason, no available drives.Phillips needs a large consumer market to keep up production and that is dwindling.And I am not certain I see the need for real time... | |
| JJ Cale dies... Heard about his death while watching a String Cheese Incident concert on sat TV. "Naturally" is one of my all time favorite albums of any period, both for the amazing sound quality audiophile wise as well as the music. May he rest in peace. | |
| anyone heard digital transport? I don't think you will get much digital design help here on this forum. | |
| PS Audio PWT software bugs Knghifi:Timely suggestion. Got a Bryston BDP-1 and ripped some CDs with dbpoweramp to FLAC. Loaded the file in the BDP-1 and the identical CD in the PWT. Compared to the two A/B both feeding my Bryston BDA-1 and was blown away by the FLAC ripped s... | |
| DA to pimp up a Linn Akurate CD-player I am a bit confused. Why would you use a DAC to feed "digital" to your MAC preamp?Are you suggesting feeding the digital from the Linn to an external DAC, and the analog from the DAC to the MAC pre-amp?Are you assuming an external DAC would sound ... | |
| Goodbye CD's Love the irony of this post. Started in 2008 "sky is falling" no more CDs and they are as plentiful as ever, just not in B&Mortar stores. But no trouble getting any on Amazon.Pretty much the same as vinyl. No as plentiful as the 80's but you c... |
