| suggest laptop for music storage Steve- to answer your question..No I do not think that at all, it's quite the opposite actually. My point was merely to state modified equipment is not for me. Not to say you don't do an excellent job of it, just doesn't appeal to me to have somet... | |
| suggest laptop for music storage Jax2-one other comment I forgot to mention about "lacked was in rendering the detail and resolution in that imaging as compared to my SS DAC". This is a great point and one I have thought about alot. Too often I have realized when I went for the i... | |
| suggest laptop for music storage Marco-thanks for the write up, good points you make here. I too owned a Brick first, then moved up the line to the Cosecant, and eventually plan to go to the Crimson. The difference between Brick and Cosecant was profound, and I agree with your ob... | |
| suggest laptop for music storage Kana813- there you go running your squeezebox again..Is this what happens when you modify one of them? "like to make generalizations about PC upsampling"These aren't generalizations, these are facts. And quite honestly I would be more comfortable ... | |
| suggest laptop for music storage Like Jeffreybowman2k & Jax2, I also own a Wavelength DAC, which is non up/over sampling. Just don't lose sight of the fact that over/upsampling is not always synonymous with "better" like most people are led to believe. In fact in alot of impl... | |
| suggest laptop for music storage Based on the criteria you listed a MAC seems like the best candidate for you. I can say from experience they sound better than ANY pre-vista based machines, and it is heavenly not having to configure the ASIO driver. MACs also assert better contro... | |
| Wow Windows Vista sounds sooo much better "ou don't need to change your USB interface with Vista,but it may not pass 24/96, so you couldn't use Vista's upsampler."One should NOT just accept that 24/96 upsampling will always sound better. Quite honestly, in most of the lower quality DAC im... | |
| iMac Sound Quality Better off with USB output for sound. First off, just because something is fiber does NOT mean it is the better choice. In this case if your goal is to isolate then yes you can use the optical connection. But...USB is a bi-directional connection, ... | |
| VTL 2.5 without stereo output I have a different issue, but similar in scope, whereby everything sound fine, and coming through in stereo. But, when you switch the balance left to right, the sound mutes in only one channel when turned left, and then when turned right still has... | |
| VTL ST-150 w/ B&W I wouldn't put an EQ anywhere near my system. | |
| How are VTL's power amp ? "I certainly wouldn't call VTL's latest amps' sound a classic tube sound like that of Cary Audio or older C-J, but more neutral like that of neutral-sounding solid state amps with more dimensionality."Spot on! | |
| B&W 805S.. Anyone listen yet? Too rich for my blood. : ) | |
| Devore Super 8 and B&W 805s-shootout Ryder-I agree..I had different Krell amps for years, loved it, still think it is great gear, when you combine and match it well, treat room etc. Overall a little analytical for me. I had a 400cx that could literally melt your face on my old n804, ... | |
| B&W 805S.. Anyone listen yet? But the real dream lie in an 805d...If it were $6k more I would find a way to get one! Fingers crossed. : ) | |
| Devore Super 8 and B&W 805s-shootout Jdec-good advice..Those subs look incredibly nice. I have to decide if I want to dedicate resources to analog or that as a next step. |
