| Playback Designs MPD-3 I own the MPD-3 and installed it in my system this summer. For a short time, it was side by side with a Berkeley Alpha DAC. The Berkeley is now gone although to be fair, the Berkeley was fed via a Wireworld glass toslink cable and the MPD-3 via a ... | |
| Importance of computer for DAC shootout All blanket statements are inherently incorrect. LOL....how's that for a blanket statement?The interface implementation is paramount, whatever the interface. Jitter reduction is what most of hear as differences between transports/interfaces. There... | |
| Why Not More Conversation about VAC? Had a Phi 200, currently enjoy a Sigma 160i....Vac and Kevin Hayes are first class. Simply sublime sound, friendly, courteous discourse and just the right features. 2 channel specialists in the sincerist form. | |
| Best Way To Archive Vinyl On My PC "Orpheus just wishes you leave Orpheus out all together."Agreed, i'm not trying to flame you, i just saw where you mentioned me again in your post and stated it was either you can't hear or you have the best vinyl to digital......i'll leave that t... | |
| Best Way To Archive Vinyl On My PC Orpheus, REALLY? REALLY!?!?Licorice and others who may be interested, simply check with your local pro audio dealer and see if you can demo one and see for yourself. Demoing is the only way and listen in your system. Archiving vinyl does take time... | |
| Decent DAC under $10k anyone? Cortes, I understand your frustration. The MPD-3 does not have a volume control....feel free to ask any questions and your feloow Audiogoners will answer them, if we know the answer. In this price range, you have to be comfortable with your purcha... | |
| Best Way To Archive Vinyl On My PC Onhwy61 is correct, there are numerous ways to get the data onto your PC or your Mac and most will be enjoyable. We should however all check back in 5 years and I believe most manufacturers still in business will have adopted, embraced and further... | |
| Decent DAC under $10k anyone? I would second the Playback Designs MPD-3. I have owned a Wadia 581i, McIntosh MDA1000, Audio Research DAC8 and side by side had a Berkeley that was replaced by the Playback Designs. The MPD-3 is absolutely the smoothest, most analog like DAC I ha... | |
| Best Way To Archive Vinyl On My PC Onhwy61, you are correct and I should have just let the thread go its on way, without commentary. I originally just thought that Orpheus didn't know what he was talking about. As far as "state of the art", the Korg is not what I would call state o... | |
| Best Way To Archive Vinyl On My PC Orpheus, there are in fact some similarities with the neighborhood analogy. Peaceful, check. Share with others, check. Open to learning from others, check. Each person is different, check. Soundblaster sound cards are not suitable for high quality... | |
| Best Way To Archive Vinyl On My PC Actually yes, there are stop signs and I am able to converse with all of the friendly people in my neighborhood about the goings on in the world. The economy, our health, our families....all pleasant. Most are employed, the unemployed typically by... | |
| Best Way To Archive Vinyl On My PC Orpheus, are you absolutely mental? Do you get out much? Is that ankle monitor that confining?I mentioned the Korg MR2000 1 bit DSD digital recorder as 1 method for archiving one's vinyl. Have you looked it up? You can record your vinyl to the Kor... | |
| Best Way To Archive Vinyl On My PC Ok Orpheus, i have been holding back but you have to take a step back and listen for a second. I don't know your age nor your demographic but you don't seem to be reading between the lines very well. Your setup for recording your vinyl digitally m... | |
| Why aren't the older members still active ? I've been around for almost 10 years, always trying to be respectful of others but sometimes the tempatation is too great (please witness recent recording vinyl digitally thread). Early on Audiogon, it seemed there was always a decent population o... | |
| Best Way To Archive Vinyl On My PC Orpheus, thanks. I don't know what gear you have other than the digital setup you mentioned in this thread. Rather than hijack this person's thread any further, you should start a new thread, list your gear, set forth a budget that must be adhered... |
