| Today's Transport War: Significant Differences? The best conventional transport I have tried is the newer CEC TL-51X (I think I have that model right) it retails for $1500. It was equivalent to the set-up I have now, but not better. Seandtaylor99: You make some important distinctions. I guess w... | |
| Today's Transport War: Significant Differences? There will always be terms that need definition. I still think that where we are in this discussion is trying to answer the question of whether a computer can put out a digital signal equivalent to what a classical CD transport can put out. | |
| What format are most people using, and why? I have all my files in Apple Lossless and think they sound great. If someday I wanted to convert all my files into some other Lossless scheme (not supported by MAC), like FLAC, is there software that allows you to do this properly? | |

| Today's Transport War: Significant Differences? Okay, as of now (and this is just my read on the debate) the crux of the argument between the two positions I started this thread out with seems to be about whether the computer can send out a decent signal. Alex is suggesting that there is so muc... | |
| Today's Transport War: Significant Differences? Steve N.: "If a CD-player is doing buffering and high-speed transfers of blocks of data, then it is actually a computer-based CD system, not a classical CDP at all."I guess this might be what I really want to know. Is it evolution, or, maybe conve... | |
| Today's Transport War: Significant Differences? Very good point Ehart -- clearly a conversation about this topic in the cost-no-object realm would be different than in the budget and mid-price levels. A few of the organizing issues seem, to me, to be:1. The "rip" or how data is read 2. The qual... | |

| Anyone Totally Content With Their System? I am content! I have found great satisfaction in the system I have right now. That said, I think my priorities in life are changing too. So, put the two together (really liking my system now, and changing priorites) and this is resulting in great ... | |
| SACD vs. Redbook with NOS DAC I have a computer system with a NOS DAC -- see my system. I love it! Did I mention that I love it!Anyway, I was a SACD early adopter. I had about 150 SACD's at one point. I sold all my single layered SACD's and many of my hybrids over a year ago. ... | |
| Can someone guide me as to what Single driver ?? Check out: commonsenseaudio.com -- you can learn a lot there about single driver speakers. They also sell them, but their site is pretty informative. | |
| altman attraction dac vs empiracle dac1 12s Great news, Herman. Congrats! | |
| altman attraction dac vs empiracle dac1 12s Herman, you may want to experiment with the JISCO. I find the sound better with it "on". It is not something you can easily judge "on the fly". You need to listen to half of a song you know very well with the JISCO off, and then listen to that sam... | |
