| Sony or Panasonic 4K Player vs. Magnetar or Reavon Universal Player Not from personal experience. The reviews have been favorable, and I don’t agree with the statement that you made about the 205 | |
| How does sound influence your appreciation? If I don’t like an interpretation, great sound isn’t going to help. A pig doesn’t look any more appealing when being viewed with binoculars | |
| Black Friday Record Store Day 2024. I don’t buy any new vinyl. I am digitally oriented, but I do buy old LPs that have not been digitized. My genre is Classical and many LPs that I had back in the day had limited sales relative to other more popular genres and there are still old ... | |
| Audio Note Cobra and Cambridge Audio MXN10 Yes, I just checked the Cobra specs and over usb it won’t accept anything over 16/48. | |
| Audio Note Cobra and Cambridge Audio MXN10 I am unfamiliar with the Cobra but from your description I assume that it’s an integrated amp with a DAC. My first suggestion would be to try to connect another digital input to the Cobra, such as a CD player or transport, or. cell phone with an a... | |
| Do you have a perfect digital marriage? I have a thrupple in my digital marriage . My Bryston DAC3 cohabitates with my Melco N 100 via usb and Cambridge Audio CXN 100 over SPDIF. The Melco , which is also my NAS, sounds great and I would probably give it a slight edge over the CA. ... | |
| Oppo udp-205 DSD playback I have the same issue with my 203. The player is in a second system, and I have have a streamer in the system that does play the files, so tbh I never did anything about it | |
| Sound Upgrade from a Bryston Bdp-3 I dumped the bdp3 due to software problems but I thought it sounded great, and I was running it into the same DAC that you are. Have you tried with with another source besides Tidal?I used Qobuz and my NAS | |
| Listening pleasure Good health to you. I have Fretwork recording of the Goldbergs. It is indeed an interesting experience of an iconic piece of music | |
| HiFi legends ageing and going deaf I think that ageing audio reviewers, such as Michael Fremer, should be required to post their audiogram results as they make proclamations about expensive gear | |
| Onkyo/Dirac Glad you are enjoying the system. Can you explain “took away your sub” comment? | |
| DAC shopping - Trying to sift through the Hype. Can I trust the reviews these days ?? I have a Bryston DAC3. It was the first DAC that I encountered where usb was not a compromise. You should be able to pick up a used one in your budget range. I get the point about wanting to audition in your system and the difficulty of doing... | |
| Looking for a CD Player I love SACD and have 3 players and several hundred SACDs. I listen pretty exclusively to Classical and we have kept SACD alive. However the OP didn’t mention his tastes and apparently owns no SACDs. Just trying to keep it simple for him best se... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados I haven’t done an exhaustive comparative listening of that piece, but my favorite is Bernd Glemser on Naxos. The other 2 in my collection are Claudio Arrau and Wilhelm Kempff. I haven’t heard any of the versions that you mentioned | |
| More potential bad news for some big names... Let’s stop the Politics right now. I go to sites likes to escape it. The long term decline of Audio has been going on for a few decades. We are seeing and another step in the extinction. Apple makes more money on Ear Buds than the entire co... |
