Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better?
frankg - thanks, i'm looking forward to it, but i'm sincerely hoping that it doesn't alter the sound too much, because i've never been so happy with a source in my life! i can't imagine the mods making too much of a difference since he's only touc... 
Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better?
dammit - i've been trying not to chime in on this thread, but here i go.it's no secret that i feel that these shootouts are generally worthless and that mob mentality it strongly at play in these sessions. i've stated it elsewhere, made my points,...

How Important Is The Cdp?
i cannot, under *any* circumstances agree with gregadd on this one.all the tube buffer does is further distort the output signal, by design!if you like the sound of tubes, get a player with a tube output stage or mod your player to have tubes in t...

AVGURU - i don't own a dv-50.not anymore, anyway. my purpose wasn't so much to defend the dv-50 as it was to attempt tp get people to use their own ears and not believe the hype until you've heard for yourself.but, i do love the dv-50 regardless.

How Good Can Digital Get?
Lugnut - the teres rocked! it really did. we all just have different things that distract from and/or draw us into a recording.noise distracts me. i haven't heard a rockport or walker, so i can't say what they're capable of. and, as far as softwar... 
How Good Can Digital Get?
