| Hallelujah by Lenard Cohen While it is Leonard Cohen songs--that particular song is not on there--unless I've somehow missed something.Ah, you must not know about the Audiophile secret track on the Famous Blue Raincoat CD, that is actuated by the simultaneous use of a Magic... | |
| Hallelujah by Lenard Cohen Qdrone - I agree, Basquait is a great film, and Jeffrey Wright's performance is superb and uncanny. If you liked Jeffrey Wright in that, see Jim Jarmusch's latest film where he plays Bill Murray's armchair detective neighbor. He and Murray have gr... | |

| Ripping and Tagging Services You can't add tags to WAV files.I wonder if he was referring to the additional information to that provides the song title, artist, category, etc. I don't know if those are added as "tags", but they are easily added to the files prior to ripping t... | |
| Will computer to DAC replace transports and cdp's? One other point about archiving, or backup: Creating a WAV or lossless file of a CD can act as a backup in case the CD is ever lost or damaged. You can easily burn a new CD from the WAV or Lossless file. In addition I've read a few reports that so... | |
| Will computer to DAC replace transports and cdp's? Is the Offramp also a DAC? Looks to me like just a converter, since its output is a coax cable.I was just going by what Grant wrote earlier in categorizing it that way:02-12-06: TvadThat's correct. The OffRamp is a DAC....but on looking at their s... | |
| Ripping and Tagging Services If any of you can vouch for the quality of other, truly lossless formats for use into a DAC, that would be great too.I can certainly vouch for Apple Lossless - cannot tell the difference myself. You may want to just do an experiment to satisfy tha... | |
| Intergrateds: Bryston,Creek,Naim,Musical Fidelity This review pits the Arcam A85 you mentioned against the Portal Panache.This one mentions the Bryston 4B, as well as Krell and Manley Snapper.Agree on the Unison Unico recommendation too. Damn fine little hybrid! Has a nice remote too!Marco | |
| Will computer to DAC replace transports and cdp's? The possibly confusing interface Grant, may be coming off the computer. You can have one of three different solutions basically:1. A USB DAC like the Apogee that takes the feed directly from your computer's USB outlet, converts the signal to somet... | |
| Will computer to DAC replace transports and cdp's? Will you describe the hardware and wire chain of your system starting from your computer (PC or MAC).Computer via USB (?) > ? > ? > ?Computer via USB > Waveterminal U24 (this converts the USB feed to S/PDIF or to Toslink if you prefer)... | |
| Will computer to DAC replace transports and cdp's? you're description of storing your music on a separate HD, and then yet another copy on another HD is exactly what keeps me away. That's too much damn work for someone who simply wants to listen to music.The big hurdle is ripping your exisiting co... | |
| Will computer to DAC replace transports and cdp's? I've been on a Mac platform since '97. The only problems I've ever had were in various versions of the largely extinct OS9. OSX has run flawlessly and effortlessly an rarely requires any serious attention. On the other hand, I do have friends whos... | |
| Intergrateds: Bryston,Creek,Naim,Musical Fidelity Put the Portal Panache on your short list. It has all of what you are looking for. You can get it new or as a demo unit from Joe Abrams with a 60-day trial period. I think it's in the price range you are looking at too. Do a search as there have b... | |
| Will computer to DAC replace transports and cdp's? No doubt about it. I very rarely use my transport anymore. Absolutely cannot tell the difference between my transport and the same music through the same DAC as a WAV or Apple Lossless, through my HD. Nothing like having your entire music library ... | |
| Mesa Boogie Tube amps interested in your thoughts I've also owned a Mesa Baron. Had all the mods done to it. Very versatile and punchy for a tube amp. I ended up wanting it to sound more, well, tubey. To that end going from KT88's to 6550's helped. I ended up listening mostly in Triode. I enjoyed... |
