| Software recommendations I have tried Amara and Audirvana Plus, preferred the sound of Audirvana Plus. Very easy to use and completely reliable. | |
| Computer vs CD/SACD discs See my previous post on this subject, I made the switch to computer audio just over a year ago and could not be happier with the results. Sound quality is every bit as good as anything I have heard at various HiFi show demonstrations over the year... | |
| Need advice on HD tracks platback. I am also using an Oppo 105 to perform D/A conversion. I use a MacBook Air to store (and download to) HD Tracks FLAC files with Aurdirvana Plus. I could not be happier with the results; see my previous post on this subject:http://forum.audiogon.co... | |
| Best Audio store in Tokyo ? Just go to the Akihabara area of Tokyo, you will be amazed at the range of high end HiFi and HT equipment on sale at many stores in this area. Go to this site for more information:http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e3003.html | |
| Led Zeppelin in Hi-rez I also purchased the 24/96 Hi-Rez versions of Led Zeppelin 1 and 2 from HD Tracks. I agree with Dasign, these versions are probably as good as they are ever going to get. Certainly better than anything else I have heard so far. | |
| Sell quality turntable to buy top CD player? For just over $1k you can buy an Oppo 105. A very versatile multi format player, you name it, it will play that disc format. Sound quality on Redbook CD is excellent, fantastic for SACD and Blu Ray. But best of all, it has an asynchronous USB B in... | |
| HDTRACKS sample rate Are you using iTunes? | |
| Sheffield Lab Agree, Sheffield Lab made some amazing direct to disc LPs. Who can forget, Thelma Houston I've Got The Music In Me. I remember hearing this LP 30 plus years ago to demonstrate a QUAD system (ELS 53 I believe) and realized, this is it, this is what... | |
| New OPPO DAC/Headphone AMP looks impressive Forgot to add SACD player as well. | |
| New OPPO DAC/Headphone AMP looks impressive If it uses the same DAC as the OPPO 105, why not buy the 105? After all the 105 has a headphone amp built in and a CD/DVD/Blu-ray player included. | |
| John Mayer - Opened My Ears If you really want to see/hear how good John Mayer is, try the blu-ray recording of "Queen of California" on the 2013 Crossroads concert. This is not only my go to "lets show off the HT system" demo disc, the music will also send tingles down your... | |
| Best Krell Class A? KSA-250 IMHO is unbeatable. My all time favorite amplifier. | |
| How good is the Oppo 105 as a DAC? Beewax; I agree entirely with your comments concerning computer audio and DACs (newer is often better). However, this to my ears is not universally true; have you ever heard a McIntosh MC275 or Krell KSA-250 power amp? Similarly something like res... | |
| 20amp Power Cord for $18 I recently sold my refurbished (as good as new) KSA-250 power amp to a local audiophile. He replaced the original stock power cable with a $1,000 after market power cable (can't remember the name, I will find out if this is important to you) and g... | |
| How good is the Oppo 105 as a DAC? I use an Oppo 105 as a DAC in my computer audio system (MacBook Air, Audirvana Plus, Oppo 105 into a Krell HTS 7.1 as a volume control only, into a Krell TAS and B&W N801 speakers). The sound to my ears is spectacular, I could not be happier. ... |
