The CD player is dead.......
.I have to chuckle at the members here that say that they like to hold the recording in their hand and like to read the liner notes. It reminds me of 1998 when Apple came out with the iMac. The iMac, in a lot of ways was a revolitonary pc for its ... 
Is Krell onto something?
I've been using two center channels for over a year now and they sound great. Two speakers do a much better job than one in my system. I have a very large screen (16 ft wide)and a very large room. I also sit 30 feet away from the screen. Two cente... 
Who has found happiness giving up cd player?
.Gopher,If you've got an iPhone, get the iPeng app for $9 bucks. It is waaay better than the Squeezebox remote. It is truly an incredible app. It kicks up the user-friendly factor of the Squeezebox up about ten more notches.. 
Who has found happiness giving up on DACs?
..... a stand alone DAC is just the evolution of audiophiles' tendency to have a separate component for every audiophile function of their system. It was inevitable. I remember having a receiver back in the 70's. Now I have seven separate componen... 
What time do you wear?
.Aball, if a hifi stereo is considered jewelry, and an iPod is considered enough, I guess I might be a bit overdressed. Guilty as charged.. 
What time do you wear?
.When I did wear a watch, I wore Raymond Weil watches, beautiful timepieces. I owned several of the Weil watches. I haven't worn a watch in fifteen years. Wristwatches became redundant ever since i started carrying a cell phone. I gave all of my w... 
How Big is Too Big?
.No such thing as too big. As long as you can see the entire screen, you should be fine. Sometimes I hook my laptop up to my projector and movie screen and cruise the web or answer emails.. 
Who has found happiness giving up on DACs?
.Not me. I'm moving away from a cd player in the near future. I'm moving towards going with a server based system with a killer dac and either a Squeezebox Touch or a Transporter. CD's seem so er, um.....20th century. It's a new day, the 21st cent... 
Is the Transporter gone out of production forever?
.I meant the Squeezebox Touch paired with about $2k worth of DAC..

Marantz AV8003 Processor
.I've had the 8003 for two years and it has worked flawlessly. Great sound and easy to use. You have to read the manual cover to cover a couple of times to really get familiar with it. I only use it for dvd's and television. I've never bothered to... 
Who has found happiness giving up cd player?
.I can't give it up just yet, but I rarely listen to my cd player. I primarily listen to my Squeezebox for music. I'm waiting for the next generation Logitech Transporter, then I know that I'll say goodbye to my cd player forever. I have two turnt...

.Sakahar, have you tried your Reimyo dac with the BD 8002 as a cd player? I'm curious as to how it would sound..

.Ok, I just couldn't resist saying this, but, 'I TOLD YOU SO!'I knew you would fall in love with this player. .
