Lessloss PC for digital source or power amp?
I put my Lessloss on my Oritek preamp/dac. It replaced a Valab pc and Oneac power conditioner. Wow! Two days left for the discount. I will be buying 2 more for my Nuforce amps. When I get those, I'll at least try it on my Denon 3910 that I use for... 
When is digital going to get the soul of music?
That would be something to see, Guidocorona! It would have to be all silver, with pebbles placed at appropriate locations. 
When is digital going to get the soul of music?
Mapmann, I start my morning with the "What's Going On" cd(issued 2003). Remember, that was recorded in analog originally. I do think that people recognize there is something too clinical with digital. Guidocorona, the AMA is a political organizati... 
When is digital going to get the soul of music?
If you guys promise not to send the boys with the white coats to my door, I'll tell you what I think was responsible for my getting so high on Alex's system(my current theory). At the time, Alex had built a speaker that had a ribbon tweater that w... 
When is digital going to get the soul of music?
Boy, from what I read here, can I make English to not be my native tongue? I see nuances with the language, that are beyond my capabilities. Guidocorona, it looks like you are benefiting from your second job. I find that I'm more in the Detlof cam... 
The best CD Player for the money
I am using my Denon 3910 as a transport. I would like to find out, myself, how it compares to state-of-the-art. I want to know its shortcomings, and get an idea of how much more I would need to spend to achieve state-of-the-art. I have a hunch, bu... 
When is digital going to get the soul of music?
I know we are supposed to have live music as a reference, I think that analog is, at least, a reference for digital. By that, I mean that sometimes we don't realize where digital errors, until we hear some analog. Analog is better than no referenc... 
The best CD Player for the money
I'de actually like to hear how Oritek's OMZ/DAC measures up to these players. I have heard a lesser APL(than the NWO 3.0) and Meitner Signature. Now the Oritek is a preamp and DAC. I think it would be an eye-opener. Any offers? I live in the Bay A... 
Why is the industry so lame?
Wdrazek, I feel that high-end jumping into the digital field 25 years ago was a mistake. It immediately took sound quality back to transistor radio days. Now, there may have been some improvements made to existing things(like bass units), but over... 
Why is the industry so lame?
Mrtennis has a good point. I remember when the high-end jumped into digital. It was obvious, to me, that it wasn't music. I don't know if you could say the same thing today, but when it was all analog, back in the day, there was no question that i... 
Attn Vinyl lovers - what CD Player do you use?
The first cd player that changed my mind about digital being music was an APL Denon 3910(lower-cost one). Currently, I use the APL's transport with an Oritek OMZ DAC(It's a combined preamp and DAC.). 
Preamp/DAC for an all digtal system
It might be too late for you, but Oritek OMZ/DAC for $1200 would work great. It beat my $5700 preamp/cd player. It has very precise imaging and instruments sound like they should. It has great bass also. 
The best CD Player for the money
I am using the APL 3910's transport. Remember that my version is one of the cheaper(mosfets, not tubes-and Burr-Brown, not AKM's(?)). You also cannot separate the preamp from the DAC on my Oritek. I have e-mailed Alex(APL) about bringing by the Or... 
The best CD Player for the money
Oritek OMZ/DAC(it's a preamp and a DAC.). For $1,200, it beat my $5,700 preamp/cd player combo. 
Anyone hear Oritek Audio's new preamp/DAC?
I just hooked up my Oritek preamp/DAC(It's called OMZ/DAC.). One thing overlooked in my initial listening session was how much you move to the music with his OMZ/DAC. This is before I've sorted out the wires or plugged it into the recommended powe...
