| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Hey guys. Let’s keep it on track and respectful. Thanks. Been distracted by the storms and not having power for a week.

| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Steve - you and I are after the same thing. Best sound, period. I’ll try the other apps when I get a change. Curious to hear the differences. But I do want a nice user interface if I can have that as well, it makes searching my library much easier... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Steve, try Fubar as well....Minimserver and Fubar are a bit basic for my tastes but they are as bare boned regarding processing as they come. I have not used the Linn software so have no experience. I’m SO deep into my footer/shelf comparison I ca... | |

| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Hey Guido. I agree. I am assuming they will be less sensitive to current restrictions as well considering their super high efficiency design. If that’s the case it is a huge advantage for that design for those who can’t arrange dedicated circuits.... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Interesting.....In a methodical and calculated plan to try moving my equipment to the front of my room I have started to test some of the issues I anticipate. The first being that I never ran a third dedicated outlet in the front of my room betwee... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Thanks Neoshah!100% agrees! Footers are EVERYRHING dependent. Rack, gear, location under gear, etc. I’m trying to be as methodical as I can be. You guys know that I try to do things as scientifically and reproducibly as I can. That’s why I renamed... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Linn and Meridian are both hard to come by. I’ve thought of them several times. For servers, I think part of the issue is that they are proprietary. You need an entire serverdac infrastructure to make it work. Even so, they both have great reputat... | |
