| SACD is VERY confusing lasers get weak with age This is correct, but it take a few years to reach that stage. Best thing to do it so rip the SACD as DSF files and play it via software player. You can buy a cheap Sony/Pioneer player off eBay and rip the SACD. Then arc... | |
| Playing DSD files Here is my setup to get DSD raw out of Foobar and not DoP: | |
| SACD is VERY confusing Not sure what the confusion is about SACD. You buy SACD players to play SACD discs and connect the RCA/XLR out to preamp or integrated amp. The only way to get DSD out is through HDMI/I2S cables of some blu-ray players and get the output to the D... | |

| Playing DSD files @o_holter , Fidelizer has nothing to do with DSD. It optimizes playback by shutting down unwanted services and daemons running in the background. There is something more that it might be doin. You can go to their website and lookup. Like I said, ... | |
| Playing DSD files @o_holter , you are welcome. Please understand that Foobar2000 is an old software and the user needs to be a bit savvy. And very sincerely - I am not meaning that in any derogatory sense. I have investigated a lot of time for this software than a... | |
| Playing DSD files In short, Audirvana seems up to the task, while Foobar doesn't I am able to get pure DSD out of the Foobar. So I feel it is a user setup issue and not software issue. What is the Output "device" that you have selected? It should be the ASIO+DSD... | |

| Best Class D GaNFET Amp Comparison. Who to invite? You seem to have read Stereophile’s recent review of the Ayer amplifier. Did you purchase it @cundare2 ? | |
| How easily can you distinguish between different DACs? but long-term listening in a relaxed (not analytical) state is the real tell for me. This statement nails it. I have often noticed that a quick switch between streaming services tells you very little to nothing. But if you relax and "take it in... | |
| At what price is one considered an Audiophile. $1598.73 That is the price point. If your entire system costs below that...then you disqualify. | |
| Class D amplifiers. What's the future look like? Ah, ever better, with tubes 😁 | |
| Class D amplifiers. What's the future look like? But, when i just look at his D with the chassis open, it ain’t looking like much to me This is how the internals of 1930 computers looked. Compare that to the internals of today's desktops/laptops/servers/super computers | |
| Audiophile Optimizer / Fidelizer +1 @jheppe815 I use the paid version of Fidelizer on my Windows 11 PRO music server. Works very well and I am happy with the results. | |
| Tube Preamps Should Have This Feature Your speaker coils need the 20-30 minute warm up more than the tube amp or pre amp......According to Steve Deckert Very interesting. Never heard of that before. And I am not saying this with any sarcasm. |
