Should Sound Quality of Computer Audio be improved
Chadeffect, I think we have both taken Pettyofficer's bait. The guy is either off his rocker, trolling or simply frustrated because even though he's an engineer he ain't intelligent enough to "clean up their O.S. mess".After all, any normal person... 
Should Sound Quality of Computer Audio be improved
Wow - sounds like Armageddon is coming! The end of music! And it looks as if it is our fault for adopting this New Format!Pettyofficer, I probably should have realized this sooner but your last few posts have convinced me you haven't a clue what y... 
Should Sound Quality of Computer Audio be improved
Pettyofficer, enough already! You want computer audio to be improved, YOU do something about it!! You're complaining to the wrong people! Most of us here are actually quite pleased with the sound we're getting and don't need your "help".Besides, y... 
Mach2Music mini and Amarra : Huge disappointment
There's also no standard for turntables or CD players. The former can use all kinds of different designs - direct drive, belt drive, idler wheel, suspended sub chassis, linear tonearms, pivoted tonearms, unipivots, MM/MC cartridges...CDP employ a ... 
Should Sound Quality of Computer Audio be improved
Pettyofficer - your complaints are directed at "computer audio" but are completely misdirected. What you are arguing is true of all formats. Some recordings sound great and others...not so much. But none of it sounds as good as the master tape or ... 
Should Sound Quality of Computer Audio be improved
Pettyofficer - those of us who frequent this forum - and I mean frequent it with true interest and not general bitterness in no particular direction - actually do feel like we're getting our money's worth with computer audio. I doubt any of us dow... 
Mach2Music mini and Amarra : Huge disappointment
Pettyofficer - I never claimed that we can listen to studio quality recordings in our listening room - this is not unique to computer audio nor is it a function of the hardware. Are you listening to studio quality on your turntable or CDP? Do you ... 
Mach2Music mini and Amarra : Huge disappointment
Once again Pettyofficer your opinions show that you just don't completely grasp the basic concepts here. Let me clarify:(1) The computers used in recording studios are not magical in any way - they are the very computers that can be purchased from... 
Mach2Music mini and Amarra : Huge disappointment
Pettyofficer - I'm beginning to think that your name is very appropriate! Every format "succeeds for some and fails for others" - including vinyl. Every format has to start somewhere. Whether it is designed for audio from ground up or not, all tha... 
Mach2Music mini and Amarra : Huge disappointment
My goodness Pettyofficer, I'm not quite sure exactly what you are expecting. No new format releases with a huge selection immediately available. Name me one that has. CD, DVD and Blue-Ray launched with precious few selections but they caught on an... 
Dynavector XV-1s vs. Transfiguration Temper w
Obviously these things are system-dependent and highly subjective - at this price level all cartridges are basically very good and if I had just heard the DV-1S and not the others I'd have been happy owning one - but in my system the UNIverse and ... 
Amarra = no sound after Pure Music installed
Could it be a Hog Mode issue? I had a trial version of Pure Music a while back and remember that when configured in Hog Mode no other program will be able to output through the DAC - or something like that. Pure Music is a tweaky beast! 
Dynavector XV-1s vs. Transfiguration Temper w
Jcmcgrogan2 - if you want to get literal and specific with these terms then how can something that is less transparent and detailed be more "musical"? In my mind one necessarily leads to the other. Any cartridge or component that transmits the sub... 
Mach2Music mini and Amarra : Huge disappointment
It would be nice if HDTracks would specify the source of the high rez downloads - i.e. which ones are upsampled and which are true high rez masters - of course this would defeat the purpose of upsamples but most of us have no problem with that! 
Dynavector XV-1s vs. Transfiguration Temper w
Wow Downunder, that must have been quite the research project you undertook to uncover my postings form previous years!I haven't really made any progress in my strange tracking issues - as I have stated on previous occasions the "problem" is stran...
