| Okto DAC 8 Stereo (Shout-out) @yyzsantabarbara I look forward to your review of the Okto, you are one of the few people I believe to give an informed and unbiased review. Besides, we have both owned the Musetec 005, which I feel the Okto will struggle to beat. We will see of ... | |
| HDCD vs the Newer SHM-CD, BluSpec, UHQCD, etc I burned the Blue Specs to my NAS, a Melco N 100, and I can’t perceive much difference between playing them on my streamer and play the Blue Specs from the Oppo, into the same DAC Ripping Blu Spec and HDCDs doesn't work, although SHM CD do pa... | |
| G Rated Comments About the Relevance of Pink Floyd’s Animals Album: The link to Animal Farm is hardly tenuous at best, the only common denominator is animals. There is absolutely no link to Lord of the Flies. Animals is seething with hate and misplaced trust after Floyd were scammed and forced to become tax-exile... | |
| Surge protector/conditioner for vintage system There are only a two serious options to protect your system. 1. Insurance 2. Dedicated Solar Power with battery storage or floated batteries on mains power using an inverter. Although I live in a high lighting strike area, almost everything i... | |
| Okto DAC 8 Stereo (Shout-out) My initial impressions are as follows: This is the most transparent DAC I have ever heard, previously owning Denafrips Terminator, Holo Spring, Sonnet Morpheus, Aqua La Scala, PS audio PW DSD and others of lesser renown and quality. Honestly? | |
| best SACD player Once you figure out how to rip your SACDs there's no going back. I use an OPPO 103 to rip which you can get for $200. I load the files onto my Aurender's SSD but you can load them onto a portable SSD and play them through Esoteric gear or whateve... | |
| Benefits of adding a 10MHz Master Clock to a digital system @jjhaz Please correct me if I'm wrong but I believe the DCS only has a pair of Wordclock inputs, 44.1 & 48 kHz. The Aurender W20 SE has a 10 mHz Masterclock input. The Aurender MC20 can do what you need I don't believe the DCS clock can. Th... | |

| Sharing SACDs In addendum any Rolling Stones album pre Sticky Fingers and any Beatles album is fair game because they were stolen by the devious Allen Klein and whose daughter now owns the early Stones albums, he sold the Beatles albums to the pedophile Michael... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? | |
| I downloaded high-res files and... Quick fix is to use your Mac Book but your CD9 will operate on WAV or FLAC. I don't know if Apple can play WAV and FLAC, it uses AIFF and ALAC. Maybe you need a Windows emulator? Long term solution is to get a server/streamer something like an A... | |
| Adventures In Modern Ripping @mahler123 Yes all the programs have Mac versions but to rip SACDs you need a Blu-Ray/DVD player with a Mediatek chip. There are lists online of compatible units. I use an Oppo 103. The most difficult part is loading SACD extract onto a USB drive ... | |
| Mobile Fidelity Settlement Update @p05129 +1 I just couldn't stand the snap, crackle and pop and switched to SACD and DVD-A a longtime ago. Hard to find original analogue tapes in decent condition now. Most were transferred to DSD forty - odd years ago. Anyway you can get a full... |
