Which 3K CDP: Simaudio Nova, Ayre CX-7 Wadia 302
Right. And if you like Nova's kind of sound... it doesn't have much competition in its niche. I guess it would be the last thing I'll upgrade.

Jazz for relaxation
Thanks to you all! I just forgot to mention that I prefer no vocal (not at all, but in this topic), just acoustic.Marakanetz, I liked your comment. :) Though you like any jazz, I think it's still possible to narrow the results by the criteras prov... 
CD outputs and HDCD
Couldn't find where did I read this. But if my memory doesn't lie me, the major reason of removal was the fact that PM filter offered inadequately narrow range comparing to the Burr-Brown's 24/96 one. 
CD outputs and HDCD
Even more, SimAudio removed HDCD circuitry from its Eclipse due to the fact that PM filter's dinamic range was just 6dB, and the one they were using for non-HDCD 8dB, which caused HDCD sounded worse. 
OK Come Clean, whats in your closet ?
But not an audioholic!:) 
Does a non-audiophile have to calibrate?
Hmm... You read four audio magazines, assemble yourself the system, enjoy music, seriously concerned what you can hear and what can't... and you call yourself not an audiophile! Sorry to say it, but you are. P.S. Understanding od standing waves is... 
Redbook+SACD Player to Replace Denon 5900?
Sorry guys, can't tell I tried enough, but my 16bit PCM Moon Nova sounds Whole Way Better then SACDs I tried on Marantz 8400, and I don't mention its poor redbook playback. BTW, I wouldn't call voodoo something just because I don't understand why ...

Audiophile USB to PCM
Just heard that the company making Waveterminal U24 is bought by Emagic. They also seem to have similar device, called Emagic Multichannel Interface A62m., with description as follows: "Versatile and practical - with 6 audio inputs and 2 audio out... 
Moon I-5 vs Bel Canto eVo 2i
Agree, I-5 is fast, detailed, with very good bass. I also run it with Nova; speakers are Revels M20, and I love it. The only complaint, dut to the above, the system is quite revealing, which may be an issue with many rock and electronic music reco... 
Survey-What is your most used source?
SimAudio Moon Nova. Recently wanted to try some not too expensive SACD... Nova sounds better, SACD went back. Sometime I'll try my PC as a source, with U24 probably... 
Problem copying a CD
AFAIK, EAC is the only available tool that checks CRC when reading, and reports *all* errors. But it doesn't allow to copy on the fly, and with good reasons for that! They have pretty much to read about the known issues on their web site, if you'd... 
Experiences with SlimDevices Squeezebox.
All right, Harry, the same question goes for U24: it's still $250... I'm not trying to tell that quality is always pro rata to a price, but the price gap between more-less seriuos DAC and these devices is surprisingly big, and usually it doesn't h... 
Experiences with SlimDevices Squeezebox.
Guys, I'm happy to know that you're happy with the Squeezebox, and sometimes I'm going to tty it. I just wondering (and I really want to understand) how is it possible to have perfect quality product in this price range, and why, if so, don't we h...
