How does the sound change as power cables burn in?
Whenever I have gotten a new power cord I just put it on a piece of equipment that will pass current through it for 240 hours or so and then install it in my system and listen. The sound of my system with the power cable in place is what it is.I k...

can i improve my system with a better cd player?
I don't think so. Your current player will act as a transport and send data to the external DAC for processing. So long as you use the analog outputs of whatever DAC you choose and the analog inputs of your Yamaha you'll be ok. The Yamaha's DAC wi...

Garcia cracks me up yet again.I say keep the Sony DVP S7000 sell the other CDPs you don't need/use and get an external DAC. At $500 you have a lot of options. Over $500 there are even more. To me 9 CDPs sitting around the house not in use isn't a ...

Will a quality USB cable make a difference....
I'm still very skeptical about getting a high dollar USB cable and the audible improvement it can make. I was looking at the Virtue Audio Nirvana USB cable or the Pangea USB-PC cable. I can't go over $50 to pay for USB cable even though the Pangea...
