Empirical Audio Overdrive DAC: King of the Hill?
The best DAC on the market is the PS Audio PerfectWave DAC mk II with a bridge. Why? Because it's what I have. 
Columbus/Central Ohio
Ok, trying to keep things moving forward. It was funny, the other day I was thinking of why it would be cool to get together, aside from checking out some other peoples systems. I didn't come up with anything until a few days later, when I was won... 
Error correction for Apple Lossless?
Thanks, thats helpful. I will keep my CD's in alphabetical order and if I hear any issues during playback I will just pull it out and re-rip with error correction. This way I won't have to redo all of my library, just the ones that need it. There'... 
Error correction for Apple Lossless?
Thanks for the reply. Since I have already ripped 80% of my CD's, would you go back and redo all of them or do you think I can just re-rip the CD's I can hear issues with? 
B&W CDM9NT vs Dynaudio Focus 260II
I had the Dynaudio Contours with a Mcintosh amp. I loved the midrange, it was to die for. The bass was excellent. I sold that system a few years ago and recently purchased B&W PM1's. What sold me almost instantly was the open and airy sound th... 
Best way to purchase/download music?
Does Downloading HD Tracks also allow for transfer to iTunes? Keeping everything in Apple Lossless would be convenient for our iPhones, sharing, etc. I would obviously keep the original downloads....just like I keep cd's.The one thing I really lik...

I feel like a toothless hillbilly - PW DAC
Do I need JRiver? Isn't that kind of doubling up with the eLyric? Do they work together?I have eLyric loaded on all of my devices. It has the music loaded into its library.I have my computer connected to the router via CAT5. The PW DAC driver is l... 
I feel like a toothless hillbilly - PW DAC
So I have had some time to level off the medication and enjoy music just playing on iTunes. Now I need to look at my options for using the bridge. The most confusing thing I keep seeing on PS Audio's owners manual is the references to tagnplay. Ha... 
Any way to "improve" a Conrad Johnson MF 2500
Thanks for the responses. I am surprised that the Shatki Stone is considered snake oil, since the reviewer on Steroephile used it.....makes me wonder about the reviewer.Chuck, I talked to the seller of the amp and he said he had both the MF 2500 a... 
Any way to "improve" a Conrad Johnson MF 2500
Thanks for the replies. I read a review of the amp on Steroephile and the reviewer addressed the hum with a Shakti Stone. What the heck is that?"........One note I should make here: when I first connected the amp, it did hum a little. I checked al...
