| Can Mac/PC compete with High End CDT?? This thread is killing me. I just bought a MAC computer, dcs Delius firwire DAC, and a firewire dcs Purcell upsampler to replace a high end single box CD player. Planning on upsampling regular CD to DSD sine that is the bulk of my collection......... | |
| Is there a better quality Firewire cable? I did not bring my reading glasses today so pardon the typos in my prior response.Tbg thanks for your response. I will look into the Granite firewire cables...........Apple makes firewire cable. Anyone have experience with Apple or any other brand... | |
| Is there a better quality Firewire cable? The physics professor was wrong. I am a scientist as well. If I understood everything that I reliably observed to have occured, I'd never learn anything new. By definition you do not know the mechanisms/explanations behind every solid observation.... | |
| Bryston BDA-1 se dac Thanks so much for the additional responses. I will not be using the USB port (which I hear is not so hot). I am going to hook it to a music server. Probably the Music Vault Diamond although the QSonic server seems enticing given the big screen, e... | |
| DAC for Music Vault Diamond Server? What about the Q-Sonic server versus the Music Vault Diamond?? Anyone able to give info on either or better yet compare them?Thanks. | |
| Where can I get components footers ? I second Herbies Audio Lab. I use several of their products with excellent results. | |
| DAC for Music Vault Diamond Server? Sinner and Richard, thanks for your posts. I will do some investigation on the Ayre. Does it have the MP designation? I think I am going to have to pass on the Berkely because it costs several thousand dollars more. With 5 kids some compromises mu... | |
| Bryston BDA-1 se dac This must be the signature modded dac, not the stock dac with the "se" designation. So a logical question is the modded dac worth the extra 500 dollars or so? Anyone heard the dac pre- and post-mods. Based on what I have read and the feedback from... | |
| Meridian G-08 VS Marantz SA11S2 The G-08 gives an airy, delicate, musical presentation. I had one and it was an absolutely wonderful CD player. It gets the air/space and musical decay better than any digital playback I have heard.Never heard the Marantz | |
| DAC for Music Vault Diamond Server? thanks Sc2. | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? listen to a K2HD or XRCD 24; SACD perhaps. the former two play in regular CD players and in a good system sound phenomenal. Much better in fact than even most well recorded CDs. After listening to K2HD, I concluded there is no rationale reason for... | |
| Lead Shot Substitute for Loading Speaker Cabinets? Actually I LOVE these speakers. I am just trying to coax a little more out of them...maybe on the low end... | |
| CD Recorder :Fostex or Tascam? I have a modified (by Balance Power Technologies) Alesis ML9600; it makes much better CD's than the Fostex machine than I had. | |
| Ayre C-5xe vs Ayre C-7xe?? Mitch2, I sold my G08 because I got the upgrade bug. Sounds paradoxical to sell a piece of "beloved" equipment. However, if I made a mistake, I can always buy one back. I am an audiophile so I have eveery excuse not to be rationale. I am waiting o... | |
| Ayre C-5xe vs Ayre C-7xe?? Thanks Countingbackwards. I had already committed to buy a 5-MP before I read your reply. I will now get a chance to see what all of the hype is about SACD and DVD-A. Plus I will have a great player for my over three thousand CD's. The Meridian G-... |
