| Rega DAC vs. EE Minimax vs. Centrance vs. W4S 2 hi robob:are you referring to the inexpensive centramce dac sold by audiogon ?regarding dacs and transports, the arguments for separtates, are in part analagous to the advantages for separates in other components.dacs can have a tube, whereas most... | |
| Redbook vs. SACD vs. Linear PCM 24 bit 192 kHz there are two variables--sound quality of the disc and sound quality of the players. suppose you introduced a dac and transport, you might prefer the hybrid layer of the sacd, depending upon the sound quality of the transport/dac combo.the determi... | |
| Are CD players dead hi phaelon:if you're right, what will replace the cd player if hi-rez doesn't take off ?? possibly blue ray players ?? | |
| Are CD players dead at what point will companies cease to produce cd players, dacs and transports ?it would seem that dacs are thriving for obvious reasons and servers/computers are thriving as transports.will there ever be a time when it will be impossible to buy an... | |
| SACD vs. Redbook and other formats while this comment is tangential to the original topic, it should be considered.while the sacd layer may emit better sound quality than the hybrid layer when played on an sacd player, i think having a dual format digital source is a disadvantage.i... | |
| Rega DAC vs. EE Minimax vs. Centrance vs. W4S 2 gentlemen:i have the esatern electric dac and i use the ps audio perfect wave transport, via coax.i find no glare or imbalance in frequency response.i also do not hear any problems in the midrange.i use a mojo audio power cord with the dac.the dac... | |
| Why do intelligent people deny audio differences? i think i have the answer to the question, originally posed--selective inattention.if you lack interest, you won't bring to bear your full powers of concentration. a consequence is a reduction in one's efficiency of observation.thus if one is not ... | |
| Top 10 Snafus to avoid when building a good rig some components are better than others.in fact. components are not absolutely better, but rather present a trade off of improvements and degradations. | |
| No such thing as a future proof DAC... hi elizabeth:are you suggesting that many current production dacs sound the same ??if so, where is your evidence.i have never heard two dacs sound the same. there are so many variables that it is counter intuitive to expect dacs to sound the same.... | |
| Top 10 Snafus to avoid when building a good rig hi mapman:i disagree with you about big speakers in a small room in this respect.i like planar speakers.so, i find that a big panel speaker in a small room, e.g, magnepan 20.1, will be preferred to almost any cone speaker, properly set up.now, i'l... | |
| journey,destination,endpoint? in theory, one could stop when one is fooled into hearing live music from a stereo. if course, it is impossible.thus, improvements, at some point become asymtotic to the absolute sound.the end is sither running out of money, or reaching the point ... | |
| Power Cords--Your Preference? i also have the fusion audio romance. it is a gold-based cable.it is an alternative to the mojo. does anyone use this powercord ?as in the case of food, there is no accounting for people's taste. | |
| weiss /Berkeley DAC audioblazer:if the weiss and berkely dacs are solid state, have you ruled out a tubed dac ?the advantage of having a tube is the ability to alter the sound of your stereo system. | |
