| Reference Transports: An overall perspective We may have gotten a bit side tracked from my original response. Here is a very simple example of why a transport makes no difference. We build the following hypothetical system. This system consist of 3 boxes interconnected. They are:A. Transport... | |
| Reference Transports: An overall perspective --------------------Again, I don't know about audio CD players, but in the world of computer data if there was any substantive liklihood of that sort of undetected error from a CD read occurring, then how often would software installed from a CD f... | |
| Reference Transports: An overall perspective ---------------Any current $150 universal player uses powerful DSP and memory buffering which according to your and Lktanx theory is sufficient to do the job providing error and jitter free data output. Why don't you get one of these and hook it u... | |
| Reference Transports: An overall perspective Germanboxers,--------------------So, you are saying that mis-reading a "0" for a "1" or vice-versa with some random frequency will cause the sound to become like a blender? It won't just misrepresent the amplitude value of the complex wave at thos... | |
| Reference Transports: An overall perspective Germanboxers,Yes, the 1's and 0's are represented with voltages. But unlike an analog system where any slight deviation is considered distortion, the digital system is orders of magnitude more impervious to signal variation. Here is an example.Con... | |
| Reference Transports: An overall perspective Germanboxers, I would like to emphasize that you are right; the transport is very important. It is responsible for getting the data correct. However, getting the data correct is very easy and very inexpensive and very trivial. All PCs today rely h... | |
| Reference Transports: An overall perspective Transports are not perfect i.e once in a while they make errors but these errors are detected and corrected by a digital circuit. If the system makes a huge amount of errors, such as when your car CD player skips when you drive thru a bump on the ... | |
| Reference Transports: An overall perspective As you know any computer today can play a CD/DVD. But a CD/DVD player does not have to be as complex as a computer. A CD/DVD player does not require an operating system. However, it does have firmware, i.e. software which runs the hardware. Dont f... | |
| Reference Transports: An overall perspective --------------------------------Questions are: 1.) is adaptive error correction good enough. 2.) what influence does mechanical vibration have on (1.) and on the overall performance of the player/transport. I wish I could answer these... I cannot,... | |
| Reference Transports: An overall perspective I am not referring to any specific CD/DVD player. In our hypothetical CD/DVD player, the entire song can be uploaded to RAM (i.e. computer memory). This is very inexpensive. Once the song is in RAM which is a digital circuit, it can be read out an... | |
| Reference Transports: An overall perspective In a modern properly designed player, transports should make no difference to the sound. Here is an example of why this is the case:Take any cheapo transport for $10, read the data from the CD/DVD/SACD into RAM. Use the cleanest possible clock re... | |
| Differences between Watt Puppy 7s and Revel Salons Room size is an issue. My room is 17ft x 22 ft. The speakers will be on the wider wall (22ft). I like the smaller size of the WP7s. Can they be placed closer to the wall than the Salons? Thanks. | |
| Revel Salons in an enclosure? Ellery911, thanks for the suggestion, I will try them out. My 901 comment was tongue in cheek as well. Audigon deleted my grin in parenthesis. It's weird what it chooses to censor. | |
| Revel Salons in an enclosure? Should I go with the Bose 901s, I heard they are the best .<<09-12-04: Ellery911"And this I presume are done by the pros (?)"just because someone gets paid for what they are doing doesn't mean they are good at it IMOjust go Bose>> | |
| Revel Salons in an enclosure? I thought I was listening? Hence the question, what are my alternatives besides the Salons which can be cabinet mounted or wall mounted?>>09-12-04: PrpixelListen to what Leftistelf said above and fire your interior designer and hire an acous... |
