| If the DAC is the same, how different do CD transports sound? @knock1 : without a blind test with matched levels your reporting is only anecdotal. As Perry Mason would say "Can't stand up in Court". | |
| If the DAC is the same, how different do CD transports sound? Too bad the well-heeled audiophile can't wear that $3K transport on the wrist to show it off like a fancy watch! | |
| If the DAC is the same, how different do CD transports sound? I remain skeptical about the soaring prices of DAC'S and now transports! Methinks this is a moneyphile thing driven by expectation bias and status-ranking. Digital's promise was the perfect transfer/transmission of the encoded data. Unlike Analog ... | |
| If the DAC is the same, how different do CD transports sound? I listened to the first consumer CD player in 1982. The vertical-loading Hitachi ($1000). I did not sell my TT and LP'S. This was at the best HiFi dealer in Connecticut. I waited until 1992 to buy my first CD player. In fact I bought my first CD i... | |

| "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down". One more blast from the past: I remember seeing the Jefferson Airplane on Ed Sullivan doing Lather and Crown of Creation. Grace Slick sang both songs wearing black face makeup! My parents were in the room watching too, this time on a color TV. | |
| "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down". Going way back I saw Jimi Hendrix on the David Frost TV show (Summer of ’69?). This was at my high school friend's house where we watched on a black-and-white TV, along with his father. That same July I was there watching along with my friend and ... | |
| "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down". I saw Miles Davis on David Sanborn's TV show Sunday Night Music on NBC. This was near the end of Miles's life. The backing band was The Red Hot Chili Peppers! I kid you not! How the mighty have fallen! | |
| Why Do Cables Matter? Wire for audio gear is more honestly assessed by the jewelry comparison: if it looks good and you like the way it feels, buy it! | |
