| Buffered CD player? Jazzdude, they might buffer data, but almost none of them reads in higher then 1x speed, and apply any validation of data integrity. I heard that some Meridians do so, but I'm not sure, and interesting if anyone knows more. | |
| Buffered CD player? I guess you're talking about buffering on DAC stage, but I meant buffering on audio-data reading stage. | |
| The best DAC for the money I don't really believe in mods if the original design is not up to your demands. It can be improved, but adding of new caps (what many mods do) but... I'd rather go mod something that is already very well designed. After clock and opamp there are ... | |
| IC for Moon/Revel Umm... Good point... Never thought... | |
| The best DAC for the money But not THAT great... ;) | |
| Which integrated? Musical Fidelity A3, A3.2, A300? Check Simaudio I-3 used, may be better then MF3.2 | |
| IC for Moon/Revel Guys, I don't want to overpower the warm side. I'm lookong for a perfectly neutral cable with a very little bit of warmness. Am I wrong that both Cardas NR and JPS are some warmer then what can be describer by the word 'little'? | |
| SS Int Amps: Bryston, Simaudio & Magnum-Dynalab I'm highly satisfied with Moon i-5: fast, transparent, and just... sounds real. And more then enough power to run my 86dB Revels. In regards to the price - call several dealers, I bought mine in Canada for a price far better from MSRP... | |

| IC for Moon/Revel Aren't they have an issue with some loss of details? | |
| Recommendation for guitar duo CD I'd suggest to try two CDs from Naim, music is beautiful, and the recording quality is fantastic:Acoustic Mania (Antonio Forcione and Neil Stacey)New Dawn (Dominic Miller & Neil Stacey) | |
| Best Portable Sound I have a minidisk deck and portables for about 5 years, and AFAIK they always compress audio, at least with ATRAC3 for 80min, which is yet tolerable, but it's still MP3-kind of... Don't really use them anymore... IPOD might be the best, I don't kn... | |
| IC for Moon/Revel What a silence, huh? | |
| How does power cord affect a digital frontend? I don't claim that it doesn't exist, I'm just curious how it happens. I'm not really clear how presence of noise in AC line may affect digital signal. It may affect an analog stage in CDP, but if the data is being transferred via SPDIF interface, ... | |
