| Sound Quality of red book CDs vs.streaming @georgehifi You misunderstood me I was simply saying a CD player of the exalted quality of your Linn CD12 would sound better than any download not to mention many other CD players. | |
| Sound Quality of red book CDs vs.streaming @georgehifi "Why is the Linn CD12 sounding better than their downloads?" Perhaps because you're playing your CDs on a $20K CD player with practically legendary stature? | |
| News: Qobuz Hi-Res platform's debut is scheduled for this October. See Qobuz Links below Bump bump bump I signed up for Qobuz email alerts two years ago I've never gotten one. And now October 2018 is "sometime early" 2019. At this point I won't believe it's coming until it's here. | |
| Delay in DAC receiving signal from CD player Craig of course using the analog outputs and inputs will work fine but it's not really resolving your problem. If you want to be able to use the DAC in the Outlaw receiver you need to figure it out. Do you have an alternative transport you can con... | |

| Is There a fix for CD Pin-holes (CD Rot) I highly recommend dbPoweramp for ripping and burning runs about $35 and works fantastically well. | |
| What is the first album you purchased, and do you still have it? Obviously my "abusive" childhood is the root cause of my addiction to and obsession with stereo equipment. :) | |
| What is the first album you purchased, and do you still have it? @lowrider57 well my parents had one which I used but by the time I really became interested in music all my friends had tapedecks and starting to get CD players. And I got a TT later in life Rega P3 but never loved it. | |
| What is the first album you purchased, and do you still have it? I didn't have a turntable as a kid, my parents had one, and got into tapes in my early teens, mostly Dead bootlegs. So my first album would have to be the first CD I bought, which I bought with no CD player to play it on. "Standard Time: The Resol... | |
| Your Forever Pieces? What and Why? I've had my amp since 2005 and preamp since 2006 both custom tubed pieces from Deja Vu Audio. Recapped the amp about 5 years ago and it sounds better than ever I don't see replacing either anytime soon. | |
| Capital Audio Fest 2018--show report @pipedream My friend @mcslipp ’s comment about smelling weed was not intended to be slanderous or critical. The increasing legality of weed means you tend to smell it many places, even audio shows. No one is implying your room was some smoke-fille... |
