| Is Star Sound Technologies out of business? Geeeez! Give Holly a break. Fsarc.. You got stock in the company or something? I don't think the threads going to put them out of business.Lay off!! | |
| One-box 1x Oversampling CD Player I did a search and finally found one site with the Consonance 2.2 CD Linear and CD120 Linear Players. Looks like they make two players that have this feature.Not sure how they would compare to the stand alone Dac though.IME the Transport/Dac seem... | |
| One-box 1x Oversampling CD Player I think the players listed above are oversampling units. These units are not non os. I also haven't seen any players that are non os either besides Audio Note. Correction actually I've only seen DIY built cd players setup as you describe.You still... | |
| Tyler Acoustic vs. Paradigm Jaybo I must disagree on Paradigms being flat response. Take a look at the Paradigm Reference Signature S2 loudspeaker graph on Stereophile.I've owned a few pair of the newer 20v3s which are pretty darn close to the same speaker....they don't have... | |
| Is a dedicated transport justified? I agree the Toshiba's have great PRAT. Not sure why though.Maybe the difference you hear in your units are related by a mixture of jitter, resistance level of the digital output or the digital cable used? Or maybe all three? | |
| Is a dedicated transport justified? Steve that's a bummer!! I think the load times are my biggest pet peeve with disc players. Some of them give you enough time to go in the kitchen and fix a drink before they recognize the disc..if they ever do.LOLSo far the newer Pioneer based tra... | |
| DVD player with outstanding qualities for CD play? I agree Arcam is a winner! | |
| Is a dedicated transport justified? If a unit is bit perfect with low jitter. How much more slam can you get? I would think slam comes from the analog output stage of the Dac..not the transport? Please explain to me how you get more slam out of one transport if both use the same cab... | |
| Player/Transport best mated with AMC DAC8 I understand where your coming from Tobias. Common sense leads me to believe .If the shorter cable was better than the longer in my system.Why would I go to even a longer cable? My test was just as conclusive. I heard the difference immediately af... | |
| Is a dedicated transport justified? I find it difficult to hear a big difference in transports.I'm sure there is depending on what's being compared. However Dacs are totally different. With all the stuff your running, I wonder if you could hear a difference as well. If you have a tr... | |
| older dacs From what I gather tube dacs can be left on without worry. The tube or tubes in such a dac normally aren't designed to be taxed that much while in use. So typically the tube may last 5 to 7 years or more depending on the design of the unit.Plus th... | |
| Player/Transport best mated with AMC DAC8 I've read about the digital cable length on positive feedback. I tried it and found it actually caused a halo effect of images using a 1 meter cable compared to a shorter .5 meters on my transport.You may want to experiment and see which sounds th... | |
| New dac or cd player Go with the Dac. You can get a great Dac for under $500 that far exceeds the Dac section and output of even a $2500 player. You just have to know what to look for.Have fun | |
| Any recomendations for in wall speakers? Hi Duts, A friend and I did a install in a person's home basically as you describe. We put a 7.1 system in wall/ceiling in the great room.Ambient speakers in the garage,master bedroom and on the back patio with attenuators for the garage,bedroom a... | |
| Single Driver Horn vs Multi driver efficient spker Gregm thanks for wetting my appetite. I had a good feeling about these speakers. Even though I've never heard them..they seem like an all around terrific design. A little bit of everything rolled into one speaker. That amplifier/ crossover does lo... |
