| ipod as source? I think that's about it.I went with an Apple TV. Think of it as a 160gb iPod with an optical output. Far easier and more fun to control too. If you don't want a TV in the room, use an iPod Touch or iPhone as remote. | |
| The Hub: Here's some GOOD NEWS from the audio biz Agon Bill - It takes money to make money. No other way around it. I don't think it would be worth the time and money for the expensive stuff like Mac, Bryston, ARC, et. al. Lenbrook (who owns NAD, PSB, Audioquest and a bunch of other non-audio stu... | |
| Wadia Dock failed after iPod touch to V4.1 There are threads about it on Apple's forum. A gentleman here has the same problem when using his iPhone with an iDecco. A lot of car docks have the problem too. Appearently Peachtree and others have been told that Apple is working on a new update... | |
| best used inexpensive cd only player I'd love it if high res became the standard. I doubt it'll happen soon though. The loudness wars aren't over. Recording and production techniques need to improve before high res goes mainsteam IMO. What's worse than a brickwalled redbook CD? A bri... | |
| The Hub: Here's some GOOD NEWS from the audio biz There has been placement, but it's been weak IMO. Dr House uses his SOTA turntable often in episodes. But TTs will be a novelty thing to 99% of people IMO.Joey and Chandler had some Martin Logans in Friends. Never played them or talked about them,... | |
| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? This thread made me think back to my first hifi shop experience...I went in looking into buying a complete system. I didn't know much about hifi, but I like to think I knew what good sound was at the time. I wanted my music to sound like it does w... | |
| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? Bryston B60 is a keeper for life for me. Either it's life or mine, whichever comes first. I'm 34, and by Bryston's track record, it'll probably outlive me!There's better amps out there. But isn't there always better? If I win the lottery, if ampli... | |
| The Hub: Here's some GOOD NEWS from the audio biz A big misconception of old timer audiophiles is that kids these days don't know what good sound really is. I work in a college, and can assure you they have a pretty good idea of what good sound is. They know mp3 compression doesn't sound great. T... | |
| best used inexpensive cd only player Just to add...I compared my Cobalt 307 to a bunch of the current budget DACs on the market like the V-DAC and DAC Magic. The Cobalt 307 is about 15 years old and still beat them all in sound quality. While the DAC chip may be out dated, the torroi... | |
| best used inexpensive cd only player Everyone's tastes vary. I find Music Hall players very dull and boring. I've heard them suck the life out of many very good systems.For about $500, it doesn't get better than a Rega Apollo IMO. They were going for around that price a month or two ... | |
| Peachtree Audio iDecco & iPod/iPhone Compatibility I updated my iPhone the other day to the current version. Won't play at all in my car. It was the first time I tried it since the update. It irritates me, and the iPhone isn't my primary car source. | |
| Peachtree Audio iDecco & iPod/iPhone Compatibility Interesting. I just updated my iPhone a few days ago. Gotta check if it'll work right in my car - Apline head unit with iPod 30 pin cable (or whatever its called). I mainly keep my iPod Classic in there though.No company is perfect. It strikes me ... | |
| Replacing Nano with iPod for Best Sound I've got an iPod Classic. No complaints when using Apple Lossless with my Etymotic ER-6i IEMs. I can definitely hear a difference between compressed formats and lossless. I think that really depends on the quality of headphones.I have a Ray Samuel... | |
| Stereophile Rated the Sqeezebox Touch Class D Atkinson's rationale makes sense to me. He/they rated it by itself, not with an asterisk next to it saying 'with a great DAC connected to it.'I haven't heard the Oppo nor the Touch. If they sound identical from their analog outs, they should be ra... | |
| Peachtree Audio iDecco & iPod/iPhone Compatibility Makes sense, Bob. I wasn't thinking about Pandora. I didn't think you bought the iPhone specifically for the iDecco.The Apple TV runs hot, but its not that hot IMO. It doesn't heat up a room the way a tube amp will. While it doesn't have Pandora (... |
