| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? All the discussion here seems to be around the APL, Sony Modwright, Esotetic, and at times Meitner. But there seems to be a lot of new models from comeptitors coming out and would be really interested if anyone has experience with them....Golmund ... | |

| best rock voices the obvious choices are john lennon, robert plant, rod stewart (in the small faces, jeff beck group days),john fogerty, etcamong more recent vocalists, ....and i don't know their names really...the lead singers of incubus & pearl jam | |
| Biggest Baddest Audio Cables any one have direct exp w/ the new harmonic tech cyberlight cables? tech sounds interesting | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? the old Philips SACD 1000 I think which was first used after mods by Meitner for to use with his DACs (no longer available as Meitner has stopped doing this as he launched his own transport). What I am saying is his own transport makes all the dif... | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? I recently had a better opp to compare the mod Phillips SACD player used as a transport vs my Meitner CDSD both thru my DCC2 as a friend wanted to test the CDSD. HUGE difference. The Phillips although OK ...highs were rolled off, transient attack ... | |
| Tube Amp Rec Sought. Thanx...no particular issue on the Linns per se but as someone who has never owned tubes, and is constantly reminded about them by tube lovers, I want to see what they are like within my system. In other words, I am not on the upgrade mode necessa... | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? By the way one thing missing from most of the commentary of the various players discussed...including the listening session....was whether the same holds for both redbook CD and SACDs. In my brief experience dealing with stock players (have no exp... | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? I wld luv to try the modded units but where I live (Hong Kong) they r difficult to come by. Hey, I was told I was the first non-professional in Asia to purchase the DDC2 (with CDSD)...I did compare the Phillips transport to the CDSD: no comparison... | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? let's try 2 get back 2 the topic at hand....one shoot out is over and there have been various cdps discussed which were not included in the shootout...meitner, reiymo etc. any others that are worthy of contention? seems like there are quite a few ... | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? very much doubt it sprinbok 10: the only diff would really be Dcc2's preamp function vs using another sep pre-amp: which can be avoided as DCC2 allows u to bypass the preamp functionality. | |
| Comparing Wadia vs. Meitner Mejames: are u saying u heard very little diff btwn Meitner gear playing the SACD layer of a hybird disc vs Wadia playing the PCM layer? Really? Hard to believe. I haven't listened to the Wadia w/ the modifications but did so w/ the reg 861: no co... | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? Meitner: A word of caution. I believe AVGURU et al already know this but I have quite a few comments on Meitner gear in audiogon which are somewhat misguided. If you are going to test the gear make absolutely sure you are using the proprietarty op... | |
| Comparing Wadia vs. Meitner Alfatone..u got it wrong. As Tireguy points out the CDSD upconverts PCM into DSD: if you have the optical link then the DSD signal directly goes to the DCC2. Essentially converting redbook into SACD (though obviously no way good as SACD). As such,... | |
| Need to improve my CD Changer - is that possible? how about the benchmark DAC? there is a thread on it somewhere...great reviews and very reasonable pricing |
