| Modwright Oppo 95 and Computer Audio Dan Wright responded to the USB input question by saying: "This can only be connected via USB and a standalone drive, but not a PC." It's surprising to me, because when the 95 came out I got the impression many people thought it was a great thing. | |
| New Computer: What Should I Get for Audio? Is there a sonic advantage to ripping one's CDs? Or is it a matter of convenience? | |
| New Computer: What Should I Get for Audio? Thanks Steve. That's very helpful information. | |
| New Computer: What Should I Get for Audio? Wow thank you for so many responses. I have to admit, though, that I am overwhelmed already. For example, I dont have a clue what some of the acronyms and abbreviations mean. I am having difficulty even forming questions, but Ill start with the ... | |
| New Computer: What Should I Get for Audio? p.s. Timlub - I too have a very heavily modded tube-output CD player (Exemplar/Denon). I'm puzzled by your comment that "my server/DAC is every bit as good". Puzzled because I thought the point of computer down-loaded hi-rez music was to get much ... | |
| New Computer: What Should I Get for Audio? Thank you, Roscoeiii, Audioengr, and Timlub,I think I am inclined toward a Windows laptop at this point, but I am considering a Mac laptop. I haven't researched Macs yet, but I have a friend who loves her Mac Pro. This computer is going to be used... | |
| Analytical or Musical Which way to go? All I can add is that, IMHO, there are clearly several speakers that measure well and sound very much like music. And, as an audiophile for some 40 years, I think there is no longer a debate "raging on". | |
| Oppo 95: Burn-in...and Fan Thanks Jwm! It sounded like you were saying the Oppo sounds much better using the balanced outputs. | |
| Oppo 95: Burn-in...and Fan Thank you, Jwm. I don't have a balanced preamp. Could you tell me what you hear via the unbalanced outputs?Thanks! | |
| Oppo 95: Burn-in...and Fan Jwm - Can you tell us specifically what differences you have heard between the stock and Modwright-modded 95? I ask because I have read several places that the modded version is significantly better; and, based on experience with my modified Denon... | |
| Crisp sounding tubes for Modwright 5400ES I'm very sorry for "intervening" with this question, but I am curious since I have a stock Oppo 95:Where does the stock 95 fall on the warm/full to open/detailed spectrum of the modded Oppo and Sony? Or maybe it's "outside" that spectrum?Thank you | |
| EVS modded Oppo 95 Thanks Bob. That's actually what impresses me about the two guys I mentioned, but I'm not discounting what Ric does. | |
| EVS modded Oppo 95 Rjbwb - I don't doubt what you are hearing with your modded Oppo 95. I am puzzled with why you say Ric does a lot more than other modders, though. Are you aware of what Dan Wright or John Tucker are doing? | |
| Extremely well recorded jazz double bass? cymbals? There is actually a recording called "Wood". I am blocking on the name of the bass player at the moment, though. I would (no pun intended) check that out. You could also try some of Dave Holland's recordings...i.e., his solo discs or those with ve... | |
| Bruce Springsteen, We are alive... This record (Wrecking Ball) has taken a very long time to grow on me - but it has. I don't love it, but I do like it quite a bit now. I'm a big, long-time fan, so I give Bruce's records a little more time to "sink in". I guess my summary at the mo... |
