Can Mac/PC compete with High End CDT??
"Kijanki, no I am talking about the magnetic field caused by the signal current flow within the component."I'm not questioning that vibration of electronics might affect the sound somehow, but saying that "it seems logical" that soft bass comes fr...

"moving a wire within a magnetic field clearly can induce a signal that isn't the music" - what magnetic field? I hope you're not talking about earth's magnetic field. 
1080i vs 720p
Cerrot - HDTV programs change format many times being transfered between stations. Standard OTA HDTV signal is digital and compressed to fit 6MHz bandwidth slots. No matter what this signal is my DLP TV always converts it to own TV format where in...

Tbg - I absolutely believe that CD ripped as data (EAC, MAX etc) can sound better than CDP in real time but there are things that people believe (placebo effect) or don't (negative placebo effect) that are simply crazy. Below is fragment of one of... 
Can Mac/PC compete with High End CDT??
Tbg - I feel that investment in DAC and HDD is more secure now than in expensive CD or SACD player since server can play wider range of formats and is more flexible (plus internet radio). In addition it is easy to use - no CDs to change, playlists... 
1080i vs 720p
"no flat panel TV today actually displays a 1080i signal. They all buffer 1080i and display 1080p."True, but if they would then 720p should be better in spite of lower resolution, since eye is extremely sensitive to horizontal misalignment.

Thuchan - I cannot understand how Mini Disks could be superior with it's smaller media and compressed format. "One company claims they will stop producing CD-players - it is a kind of marketing campaign, isn`t it?"Marketing campaign of what? Linn ...

Airport Express "local clock" issue?
My Benchmark DAC1 doesn't have this problem either. 
External hard drives and sound quality
Richard_stacy - I completely forgot about laptops. It's good to hear that it can be done successfully - I might need it one day (wife uses laptop).Blindjim - the most important that you can manage it over long time. Some things are better in Windo... 
External hard drives and sound quality
Blindjim - Your internal drive could be maxed out, or heavily fragmented. There is so many other possibilities - for instance Itunes could be updated or options changed exactly at the time of switch to new drive.Fat32 is garbage. Using non-journal... 
Can Mac/PC compete with High End CDT??
Thuchan - I've never heard any claims about Mini-Disk sounding better than redbook CD and nobody here said that "best CD drives may bring down the quality of music in comparison to a hard disc drive".

Deutsches Institut für Normung (German Institute for Standardization)Audio is covered by DIN 45500. 
Cloning Class A Classics Continued..
Cwlondon - Finding good schematics of class A is not a rocket science but running successful business is very hard. Not only good design but controlling cost is the key. In addition not only good manufacturing and quality control is required but a... 
Can Mac/PC compete with High End CDT??
Mapman - Very interesting point. Rip I use (MAX) reads CD like data CD - multiple times if necessary to get correct checksum while CD player cannot do this since it is operating in real time. For that reason CD player has very loose error correcti...
