| Best Cd Player under $100,000 Because u would not get the variety? Anyway, I too think its crazy but then again I ain't a billionaire | |
| Best Cd Player under $100,000 actually full suite of Zanden...the new transport, DAC and power supplies....how much does that come to? around 80+? Also the full mantra dcs suite: Verdi Scala transport, Purcell DAC, upsampling converter, and external clock 4 box set...should be... | |
| Anybody tried EMM DCC2 into preamp? Hooper, in what way did the DarTZeel preamp excel? | |
| Anybody tried EMM DCC2 into preamp? This thread...I think has less to do with DCC2 as a preamp per se but rather tube vs solid state. Would it not be more relevant to compare the DCC2 to SS preamps? How would it do agst Pass Labs, Levinson, Boulder etc? At least if these ss amps do ... | |
| time for amp upgrade what is the sensitivity of your speakers? | |
| Mini monitors? Thanks the recommendations...the Utopia Be was one I was planning to audition. What about sat sub combos? Are there any that you would consider audiophile quality? Have heard some that were OK but not good enough | |
| What is needed to have the best CD/Digital sound? Get a SACD/CD player | |
| Just upgraded to the DK VS-1 Signature too bad...I was looking fwd to hearing some more comments how the thing actually sounded and in comparison to others...The product definitely appears to be interesting but not much prof mag reviews either. Procalc where are u? | |

| Sacd/dvd-a, The Hype Is Dead, For Me At Least... Perhaps so Guidocorona....I have tried the Esoteric orginal universal player...was it X-01? Anyway very good indeed. But I cannot help think that it must make a difference though I am not an engineer. It may be the case that it depends on the reco... | |
| Sacd/dvd-a, The Hype Is Dead, For Me At Least... which is also one of the reasons when looking at a SACD or universal player, u have to be careful of the digital technologies adopted...many convert the DSD signal into PCM data before conversion into analogue...does not that defeat the purpose? | |
| Sacd/dvd-a, The Hype Is Dead, For Me At Least... 1. It strikes me that there is an element of apples to oranges. One needs to compare players, regardless of whether its CD or CD/SACD, in a similiar price range. The flow of logic and commentary does not always seem to be the case. 2. As it took s... | |
| Sacd/dvd-a, The Hype Is Dead, For Me At Least... We as audiophiles tend to over-exaggerate our own interests' importance, i.e. sound quality, when they are far bigger concerns in the consumer elec durables market. I strongly beleive the whole SACD or DVD-A or even Blu Ray DVD etc as CD's heir ap... | |
| Sacd/dvd-a, The Hype Is Dead, For Me At Least... Competely agree with Tbg except SACD availability seems to mainly restricted to classical and classical jazz...yeah Rolling Stones, and Dark Side of the Moon but we need a lot more for rock, fusion, jam band, etc! Hey, where arwe the Beatles? I am... |
