| Significant steps? (DAC) You have spoken . Volkswagen better fire all of its Porsche & Lamborghini engineers. | |
| Significant steps? (DAC) @tvrgeek "Sorry if you have one, but $140K for a DAC is not perfection, it is pure bragging rights.". I don't have one , don't seek out listening to one because it isn't in my realm of spending on one piece of audio equipment, don't presumptuou... | |
| Significant steps? (DAC) "Would I actually hear a difference between a Pontus and Biftost? Three times the price, is it twice as good? Only slight? A Qutest over my JDS? 16 times the price? How much better? How much more would I enjoy a few hundred more CDs over the elect... | |
| Rumors of CD Demise Exagerated? New Hegel There are several high end companies that make CD players and/or CD transports - here's a few Vitus, Metronome, Neodio, Accustic Arts, Aqua, Ayon. There's more. | |
| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing I have no dog in this fight but I am curious if either of you have "bent CDs"? I can't say that I have a one. And, I wonder how they would come to a conclusion that owners had noise problems because of "bent CDs". | |

| Testing Ethernet switch Miss the days when Almarg was still with us. Man had a wealth of knowledge and shared it with everyone with style and grace, no chest puff, no I know better than everyone else. | |
| If you were serious about sound you would... @donavabdear "my main system is wonderful and I love the way it sounds but my professional system in the same room 90 degrees apart is much more accurate and it's not nearly as enjoyable I don't listen to it half as much," If your professional s... | |
| If you were serious about sound you would... Jezz , three or so weeks ago their was the guy (since suspended) claiming you needed a mass market home theater receiver and atmos speakers and be in object based audio nirvana. Now it’s you have to have studio equipment. What a conundrum we face! | |
| WHY CABLES MATTER! @ernstmach - I can’t speak to the provenance of their statements. That said, I think you also need to take into consideration that your colleague nor you have heard the cables over a time period. Are you really in a position to say/conclude that ... | |
| WHY CABLES MATTER! @ernstmach - If you google it comes up as 99.9999% purity, oxygen-free copper solid-core conductors, with silver plating | |
| WHY CABLES MATTER! @tonywinga - Agree with your commentary. Nice system as well. By the way maybe you should go into the rack business, nicely done! | |
