| Comparing these CD players with my gear... Hi George, I think the Miles has both. In fact, I've read the advantages of using 1-bit, multi-bit and DSP. It's all prefence I guess--as well as how well designed the analog stage is. I've had great sounding players that have used each type.Here ... | |
| Comparing these CD players with my gear... Thanks to everyone and all your comments/suggestions. Based on what I read (both here and in magazine & online reviews), as well as comparing the other players listed to my previous players; and considering my budget, availability and personal... | |
| Comparing these CD players with my gear... Those all look nice, but I guess I should've given my budget... max is $500. | |
| Comparing these CD players with my gear... What do you guys think of the Theta Miles? I used to have one (and loved it) but I different gear at the time. Any comments on how a Miles would sound with the rest of my gear? I have the opportunity to buyback the one I sold another audio friend ... | |
| Comparing these CD players with my gear... Hi rhljazz, That's the thing... I'm fresh out of CD players right now. What would you recommend from the list, or not on the list? | |
| Best Cable Match for: Creek 4330SE + Rega Apollo + Vandersteen 2C I folks...I like my sound on the romantic side but I think it was a little too romantic with the mogami's, considering the Creek, Rega and Vandy's are on the same side of that musical spectrum. The single biggest thing I noticed from changing the ... | |
| Micromega Stage 1 vs. Stage 3 vs. everything else in this list... Well... the Stage 3 was returned to the seller for a refund. I never had a chance to compare with the Apollo. The Stage 3 had a display glitch at first, which was totally intermittent. I sent it back to be fixed. I got the player back and went to ... | |
| Best Cable Match for: Creek 4330SE + Rega Apollo + Vandersteen 2C Hi folks, Thanks for all the info, comments and recommendations...I have the Vandys positioned according to the mathematics in the owner's manual. Mine are 5ft apart (measured from inside edge to inside edge).A local audio buddy has a pair of AQ R... | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? While were getting down to the nitty-gritty, let's not forget the many, many slight variations of the human ear itself, and how its shape affects how each of us perceives sound. I was listening to music the other night, and for some reason, I bega... | |
| Best Cable Match for: Creek 4330SE + Rega Apollo + Vandersteen 2C Another recommendation (based on my gear) from Hawthorne Stereo in Seattle is Chord Company Cobra VEE 3 interconnects with Chord Clearway speaker cables. Anyone have any experience with these? I'm wondering how they compare with the Mogamis? The M... | |
| Best Cable Match for: Creek 4330SE + Rega Apollo + Vandersteen 2C Hi All, I did a speaker cable comparison and I would like to share my thoughts with you guys... How does DH Labs favor vs. Audioquest? I just picked up a pair of DH Labs Q-10 speaker cable (older version) from a local audio friend of mine for $45.... | |
| Micromega Stage 1 vs. Stage 3 vs. everything else in this list... Hi jafant, Hope you had a good holiday! Well, I got some DAC to try...I got a used HRT iStreamer for my iPhone 5, as well as an AQ Dragonfly Black. The HRT sounds really nice... in fact much better than the veiled sounding Dragonfly Black. Also, t... | |
| Best "Portable" DAC? Oppo, JDS Labs, Audioquest Dragonfly, others? Update: I just discovered iDevices (iphone/ipad/ipod) accept a maximum sample rate of 48khz. Which means anything above that is a waste for the purposes of connecting an iphone to my stereo. I also picked up a used HRT iStreamer since this device ... | |
| Best "Portable" DAC? Oppo, JDS Labs, Audioquest Dragonfly, others? Hi Roscoeiii, Since posting my initial question, I've been continuing my research. Yes, the Mojo Chord is another one I've read is very nice. I've also been reading that the Meridian Explorer and Director are very nice, but are not iPhone/iPod/iPa... | |
| Best "Portable" DAC? Oppo, JDS Labs, Audioquest Dragonfly, others? As I read more about these DACs, it seems that they are most beneficial when using high resolution files. What is classified as a high resolution file? Since I'm using Apple Music as my source, and their files are AAC 256kbps, am I going to hear a... |
