| What's really happening in my receiver? Agree, HDMI is the only connection from the blu-ray player and the toslink is from the CD player. I believe that the toslink can only support two channels of uncompressed audio. | |
| What's the cost of an entry level vinyl setup? Oakleys - Where are you from? I can't tell if you're speaking in broken English or some type of Twitter/Texting shorthand. | |
| Which of these SACD players would you choose? After another A/B comparison of the song Come Away With Me I can agree that there isn't a significant difference in sound, but there are a few characteristics in the music that the SACD has the edge on. An example is the soft percussion instrument... | |
| What's really happening in my receiver? Home work results are in. The HDMI from the blu-ray player sounds nearly identical to the toslink from the CD player, as I expected it would. | |
| What's really happening in my receiver? I don't know that one sounds better than the other, probably more different than anything else.None of the CD/SACD players have HDMI ouputs, I have not tried it with my blu-ray player that is HDMI so not I have an assignment to do. The only digita... | |
| What's the cost of an entry level vinyl setup? Oakleys - There are no words that come to mind as an appropriate response to your comments. | |
| Music vs. Components I truly believe that the majority of audiophiles listen to components. People that are only in it for the music don't need hi end equipment to enjoy the listening experience.I'm not saying that audiophiles don't enjoy listening to music, but that'... | |
| What's the cost of an entry level vinyl setup? Thanks for the info. This is more of a "phishing" thread at this point to learn more about vinyl. I'll look for the thread you referenced. It would take a lot to convince me to get into vinyl. If I ever have a dedicated audio room it would be much... | |
| What are we really trying to replicate? Excellent response. Ever thought about getting into politics? | |
| Which of these SACD players would you choose? Hmm, I won't dispute what the article says on the Norah Jones CD, but it wasn't the only CD used for comparison. I think it does sound better in the SACD format, but it isn't a significant difference. I'll listen a little more carefully next time ... | |
| Which of these SACD players would you choose? Anyone in the market for a CD player should consider this unit. It is simply amazing. All of the standard CDs that I have played have given me something new to hear. The ones that are SACD just go another step beyond.Lucky for all of you I'll be g... | |
| Which of these SACD players would you choose? My new Pioneer Elite PD-D6-J Super Audio CD Player arrived this afternoon and was waiting for me on the porch. The SACD version of Norah Jones' Come Away With Me was in the mailbox to complete the evening experience. Bottom line, it sounds wonderf... | |
| Which of these SACD players would you choose? "How many hours on Integra VS Pioneer?" - The Pioneer is probably over 8 years old and the Integra is fairly new. I'm not sure why that matters as they nearly sound the same. The biggest difference is from going from Integra analog to Integra digi... | |
| Which of these SACD players would you choose? I compared the Integra CD player using an analog connection tonight and it sounded very similar to the borrowed pioneer. I wasn't expecting the two CD players that are different brands and ages to sound more similar than the Integra CD player comp... | |
| Which of these SACD players would you choose? I should probably clarify that the Integra CD player is connected to my Integra 50.1 receiver with a Toslink so the receiver is doing the d/a. |
