| Will computer to DAC replace transports and cdp's? It's a pc with two Seagate hard drives, Windows XP pro,I use Adobe Audition to list the music and show the wave files. The Empirical Audio off ramp turbo uses an M audio Transit out the USB port (5 meters is the limit) to a black box containing th... | |
| Will computer to DAC replace transports and cdp's? I moved to computer audio 3 years ago and it is FUN. I sit in my listening chair and with my wireless mouse, can pull up any cd in 5 seconds! My kids are starting to enjoy the old rock/ blues cd's, so when I find a cd case, it rarely has the right... | |
| MC transformers - what do they sound like? I agree. I have had no luck with them. I think the j-fet before the tube gain stage ( as in the new Audio Research phono pre amps) is going to be the way to go. | |
| USB to AES/EBU connector That is a great system placed in a very nice room. You must try an Empirical Audio Off-Ramp Turbo ( usb to aes-ebu). I am burning one in right now and I feel like it is the missing link to extract the most from computer audio. I have been using a ... | |

| Neil Young - Like a Hurricane unplugged | |
| Roy Buchanan Recommendations?? "In The Beginning" has always been my favorite | |
| Best Leonard Cohen CD? 10 new songs, by far | |
| What would you change? That is a very cool system. I think you have "outgrown" the nordost interconnect. Empirical Audio Holographic interconnect has really made a nice change in my system, getting rid of that leading edge digititus( for lack of a better word) without l... | |
| Audiomeca Mephisto II power cable I don't have the Mephisto, but I do have the Enkianthus X2 dac and the Mephisto 2 transport. The best cord I have found for them is the Moray James power cord. | |
