| When is digital going to get the soul of music? Of course - I was only joking. | |
| Help -- need Idiot's Guide to music server system Jhold - I have new MacMini with OSX on it and 500GB Firewire drive "Neptun" from OWC (pretty quiet) for computer backup. I'm planning (in future) to create music server using another Firewire drive. With the current capacity of CD you could probab... | |
| Need recommendation for new CD/SACD player Jlc76 - SACD is not a PCM and it needs to be converted for use by DACs like Benchmark. I read somwhere on Audiogon that Oppo is outputing/converting SACD only at 48kHz while Benchmark is 192kHz capable. As for quality of the Oppo as a transport - ... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? " If it ain't real, it's distorted" - really? I didn't know that. Are you serious? | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? Muralmanl - I'm not saying that oversampling is better. It's just a matter of taste. Class D like Icepower modulator is pretty much sigma-delta as much as I can understand Karsten Nielsen doctorate work. | |
| CD player NOT made in China under $1,000? Zanth - I second that, but he might be prohibited from reveling it. | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? Muralmanl - pretty much everything is changing to oversamling (for better or worse). Analog Devices dropped almost all non-oversampling DACs, Class D amps are the same thing as sigma-delta modulator, SACD is oversampled recording and DDS studios s... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? Mapman - we're not talkin about comparing CD to vinyl. I just reacted to statement that digital will never rival analog. LPs are made from digital recording last 20 years - how it can be better than its origin? I has to go from digital to analog t... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? Chris - you are probably right. It is impression and not absolute numbers. My Benchmark DAC plays bit games increasing resolution to 24-bit and noise floor to -140dB. Impressions can often be misleading. Sound with small amount of harmonic distort... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? Learsfool - I was just responding to your statement that digital will never rival analog. Music is recorded in digital (recently in DDS) not for convenience but for the sound. Analog is delivered from digital tapes and since extra element in the c... | |

| When is digital going to get the soul of music? Shadorne - I recommend American Players Theatre in Spring Green Wisconsin. They play from original text on the hill in the forest (not Burnham Woods though but close).My friend works for large recording studio. All analog (Apex) recorders were rem... | |
| CD transport for messed up Arcam Long time ago I found FAQ on internet describing how to adjust it using oscilloscope. I would leave it to skilled technician.If you decide to turn the pot - remember it is most likeky multiturn, be sure you remember initial position. | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? Learsfool - Perhaps it was asked before, but don't they press some (or most) of the new LPs from digital master tapes? You said that "digital will never rival analog" - digital already won, seems to me. | |
