| will HDCD copy when cloned? It may interest you know, not only will it copy to another CD when cloned, but it will also rip to your hard drive that way as well (assuming you are ripping in a lossless format).Marco | |
| Are most DAC's compatible w computers? BTW while much is made of the two way nature of USB, I can't find anything in the technical descriptions that supports the theory that USB does anything about jitter - the two way function is its device communication and control protocol - take a ... | |
| Are most DAC's compatible w computers? The short answer is "yes". If your soundcard has an S/PDIF output then you should be able to hook it up to any DAC with an S/PDIF input and it should work. Sean's points about reclocking are to the point as well. You are using your hard drive as a... | |
| will HDCD copy when cloned? Whoops, I didn't mean to say Apple Lossless was not a cross platform format, because iTunes software is now available for PC as well as Mac. It just will not work with any other audio software AFAIK. Marco | |
| will HDCD copy when cloned? I've heard good things about EAC Tgrisham, but I use a Mac so it is not an option for me. I rippeed all my files in either .WAV or Apple Lossless. I honestly cannot tell any difference. Apple Lossless is a compressed format but renders the file bi... | |
| will HDCD copy when cloned? Yes, as long as you are using a bit-for-bit or lossless format to copy it you should get an exact copy that does play as the original.Marco | |
| Audiophile book of "Common Sense" If you dont know, ask sean. I think there is a 800 number.I think Sean's got an upcoming appearence on Oprah to correspond with the release of his book. I predict he'll have his own show in short order in which he figuratively beats neurotic audio... | |
| Audiophile book of "Common Sense" The brown stuff in the tins you get at the shoe store, that stuff is "Shineola". It's for polishing your shoes. Comes in a commercial tin...dead giveaway. The brown stuff left on the sidewalk by various domesticated animals, and often not removed ... | |
| What numbers are important in SS amps specs Viridian - you forgot to factor in the number of fins, thickness of faceplate, and finally multiply that all by the number of blue LED's on the unit. Doing this will give you the THI or 'Total Hype Index'. Marco | |
| What numbers are important in SS amps specs Trying to judge a component by the numbers is like trying to judge a person by their height and weight and color of their eyes, hair, skin, etc. Those details are meaningless, IMHO. Also, they are entirely subjective when it comes to the synergy w... | |
| Just got home from a Dylan concert his vocals were illegibleGuess he should have hung on to those cue-cards from that famous Pennebaker video! Marco | |
| How many audiophiles to screw in a light bulb? Holy luminance, I've created a monster! LMAO folks! Great to see so many sharing their sense of humor about themselves and their passion in one thread. Thanks for the grins! I hope this thread remains a great cornerstone of reference for all newbi... | |
| Coldplay X&Y New Release I believe some of the best classic rock-n-roll albums were recorded with someone's head planted halfway into a toilet.That would've been the recording engineer. Probably looking for the right place to store the master tapes. If only they would've ... | |
| Coldplay X&Y New Release It's the bald dude with the shades Albert....he bugs me! He got the bad mojo! My dog told me so! Watch out for him! He's likely to be responsible for some really bad policy decisions that had the band playing those huge-ass venues where the acoust... | |
| Coldplay X&Y New Release Speaking of political statements in pop music: I'm a big fan of Bright Eyes music. Love the recent single, "When the President talks to God". It's currently a free download at the Apple Music Store. Sounds to me like a combination of Dylan and Bec... |
