| Out of Balance Was it an analog recording that had been transferred to digital? | |
| Air Play AirPlay is quite good on my Cambridge Audio CXN 100. I rate it as just a notch below CD. Chromecast is better still but you need an Android device. They both sound much better than Bluetooth | |
| SACD v Streaming SACD can sound amazing. I have never had a streaming experience that can begin to rival the best of SACD. Not all SACDs are that quality, however. It depends on many factors and as always the quality of the original recording is the biggest det... | |
| authentic space recordings Decca was known for recordings that superbly reproduced the acoustics of the halls they were made in. The Phillips recordings from the Concertgebouw in the seventies with Haitink did the same. Recently Andris Nelson’s and the Boston Symphony d... | |
| What does the audio term 'air' mean? Space between instruments. Ability to hear the reverberations of the instruments in a concert hall. The ability to capture overtones. | |

For example the Sixth omits ... | |
| Why most $3000 and lower DAC’s sound almost identical I dispute the premise. I have heard significant variability in sound in sub $3K DACs even amongst ones using the same chip | |
| Masimo gives up. The above is correct. However the Corporation, whatever their motives, did buy the audio companies and then discard them, and corporations are an entity independent of the individuals who work for them | |
| Hlep chosing a streamer/server for my DAC Cambridge Audio EXN 100 will handle your DSD requirements over usb. It comes with its own internal ESS Sabre DAC but you could use your own. If for some reason the streamer and DAC are incompatible then you could use the internal DAC , which is ... | |
| Streaming to Multiple Systems around the house I second the Wiim recommendation | |
| Interesting Insurance Article Concerning HiFi. When I was working as a Physician one of the Pharmaceutical Representatives told me his previous job was at Cigna.

| Gustav Mahler’s Symphony No. 2 Resurrection Missa Solemnis: I assume it’s vinyl only again? If you don’t mind mono Furtwangler (or Toscanini for about as polar opposite a view as possible). In stereo Klemperer with the Philharmonia. Herbert von Karajan would record this every 5 years or ... |
