My punch line is just that the Oppo does better on PCM than DSD.Try googling 2L records test bench for some sam... | |

| My Last CD player, need ideas Thanks guys. North Star was not on my radar.It may be inevitable but it also may be a few years.I use EAC to rip discs at about 5 min each but that comes out to 7 days of 24hr a day ripping. I could do it in parts but still a major effort. As far ... | |
| True Headphone AMP? Thanks for the replies. I'm not sure I'm interested in a DIY connection to my main amps. It would be a pain to connect and risk of shorting when pluging in and out seems to much of a risk with 300W monos.My prime interest would be connection to my... | |
| What's the best Drive By Truckers disc ???? They are a great band and hard to go wrong with 'Decoration Day', 'Dirty South' or 'Brighter Than Creation's Dark'. 'Southern Rock Opera' is great as well. I would listen to samples on line as the mix of southern rock vs hard country varies by alb... | |

| New digital i-everything dock from Cambridge Audio I like that they have included AES/EBU balanced digital as an output.The thing that would get me off my rear end on computer audio would be a dock that offered simple but high quality wi fi streaming from an I-Pad that would just convert a loss le... | |
| What monitors sound OK on a bookshelf? Basic rules are to have a sealed cabinet or at a minimum a front facing port. Other things to look for in reviews are speakers that are mentioned to sound good close to the front wall with a narrow dispersion pattern.One thought would be Tannoy co... | |

| The Beatles Mono Box Set or The Beatles Stereo??? I bought the mono and then added Abby road and Let it be. To me the mono issues are just more rocking, the separation in the stereo mixes are interesting but weaken the musics impact. The other than the sound the mono issues have amazing packaging... |
