| Blue ray player with good audio My DAC does not, of course, play SACD, so if I chose to buy a few SACD's that is what I would use the Oppo for with analog out. Now I am a bit confused. Tbg says the power supply on the SE is superior to standard BDP, but the standard is better on... | |
| Blue ray player with good audio If you are using an external DAC, and do not listen to much SACD, is there any reason to get an Oppo bdp-83se as opposed to plain bdp-83? I was under the impression the Sabre DAC's in the SE would be of importance only if using the analog outs. Am... | |
| Audioquest Sky VS Kimber 1030 SE Can't go wrong with the Sky in its price range. Smooth, neutral and musical, will never bother you. Just disappears in your system and the only time you know it was there is when it is not. Ponder that!Neal | |
| All time favorite speaker cables Valhalla, with the right system.Also like Jena Labs Symphony for a less expensive alternative. They are very natural and don't do anything wrong, which is what I always listen for first.Neal | |
| Cable Elevators - What do you use? Otis. Stops at every floor I press.Have tried them in both main and BR systems and never heard them make a whit of difference. Maybe the type of carpet of flooring one had makes a difference.Neal | |
| Sony SCDXA5400es vs. Cambridge Azur 840c Sony cannot be used as a DAC; no digital inputs.Neal | |
| Reterminating Valhalla RCA to XLR Yes, they have done this for me. Pricey, though. But as noted, will preserve resale value and it will be done right.Neal | |
| Low-cost I/C's The Anti-Cables with Eichmann terminations play way way above their weight class.Neal | |
| best Marantz tuners? Don't ignore more modern Marantz tuners. I am now using a ST-17 and am growing to appreciate it as much if not more than my cherished Mac MR 80. Just because it is not "vintage" does not mean it is not a first class tuner -- and it is!Neal | |
| Berkeley Audio Design SPDIF Input Thanks, Comrades. I knew you would answer. I am looking to audition BAD DAC, even though I emailed this question to them and they never responded. I would use AES/EBU for CECD transport, but for iTransport or DVD player would use SPDIF, and now I ... | |
| is Lessloss signature that much better than orig? I an breaking in 2 Sigs after having had the Originals. I will have more to say when I have had more time to listen, but my early impressions are that the Sigs are significantly better, perhaps a 25-30% improvement if I had to quantify. They seem ... | |
| Monitor speaker that will stop the Quest? Spendor SA1. Small box of magic.Neal | |
| Wadia ITransport Well done. iTransport one of major reasons I have not moved to computer audio. If Wadia developed a remote where you could see and control iPod menu, I would never move.Neal | |
| Wadia ITransport RPG,Good work. Curious which high grade PC you have which has two-pin connector.Now on to better digicable and you'll be good to go.Neal | |
| Cd transport isolation After much trial and error, I settled on (no pun intended) Aurios MIB's under my CEC TL-1X and have never looked back. Neal |
