| BEST DIGITAL AES/EBU CABLES - 2011 I have been using the Stealth Sextet AES/EBU for years, after having run through Nordost Valhalla (very good) and Kharma Grand Ref (exceptional, still use it in different place in system). Got tired of constantly trying new digicables when the Ste... | |
| Are Disc Players Dead? Macdactexas,I have had an iPod and have been using iTunes since the day Apple came out with a Windows - capable iPod. I use a Classic with a Wadia i170 into my W4S DAC2. I am highly computer literate and easily could go the route you suggest. But ... | |
| Are Disc Players Dead? Kijanki,I don't think there are many people who don't use a computer, even though they think it is buggy and confucing (myself among them, even though I was an early adapter going back to DOS days). I think you can see from the comments in this th... | |
| Are Disc Players Dead? This is not to say that the day of server-based systems that reliably provide as high SQ and reliability as CDP or Transport - DAC based systems is not coming. But, as Charles1dad points out, currently (no pun intended) they are just too "buggy" a... | |
| Are Disc Players Dead? They are most assuredly not. Many of us like the simplicity, reliability and high SQ of transports and DACs, traits often not found in server-based music systems. We eschew the myriad of acronyms, server and software hiccups, crashes, droputs, fir... | |
| Cardas Golden Reference upgrade to what? AQ Sky will give you the body of Cardas GR with more detail and air. Whenever I plug the Sky's into a source I find myself saying: Ahhh, now that's how music is suppsoed to sound -- without spending an obscene fortune, just a small one..Neal | |
| Bryston BDP1- loading problem So remind me again why a manufacturer charges over $2000 for a product that cannot be used with a standard codec like AIFF, so one has to spend hours reconverting to accomodate this mfr., and THEN, the mfr SOMEDAY will issue firmware to deal with ... | |

| Bryston BDP1- loading problem So please remind me again how computer audio actually makes it EASIER to listen to music with HQ reproduction? I would very much like to get involved but I do not like to spend my free time gnashing my teeth, so I'll stick to my primitive transpor... | |
| New Ground Loop - What Could Have Caused? It's Verizon, Swampwalker, and that is a battle not yet joined!regards,Neal | |
| New Ground Loop - What Could Have Caused? You fellows are very smart. I can't even begin to explain it technically. Following the "ground loop" , I started losing the FIOS signal sporadically, then entirely. I checked all the connections and noticed a splitter outside running up to my bed... | |
| New Ground Loop - What Could Have Caused? Whoa. Nothing ever is simple, is it. I will first try Jim's FIOS box suggestion, because it is easier and I know what to do. Jim's other suggestion probably is beyond my technical competence, but I know where the FIOS cable connects to the house.T... | |
| New Ground Loop - What Could Have Caused? It was the Verizon FIOS box. Once I disconnected IC's running from FIOS box to pre, problem solved. No music stations through stereo, though.Not sure what happened. I had no problems for years. There may have been storms and the units were plugged... | |
