| Vinyl / Digital / and can you have too much information. A record has the analog waveform pressed into its tracks. It is analog and with good equipment can produce overtones up into the 100s of thousand hertz. Its the missing overtones that make digital a bit barren. You can't hear them, but their lack... | |
| Streamer vs. CD Transport A DAC that does asynchronous USB well, like my Music Fidelity V 90, sounds much better than Toslink with a decent cable. | |
| Amazon Launches Lossless "Hi-rez" HD Music Service Perhaps the best streaming I have experienced. Still not up to my SSD and that's a deal breaker. | |
| Why do Classical CDs sound less Alive/Real/Present ? Audiophile music is something I kind of hate. Its everywhere and used to demo very expensive stuff, especially on youtube and that kind of media, with 'influencers' busy influencing. Its invariably sweet, acoustic and simple. Sounds nice in the de... | |

| Streamer vs. CD Transport LOL. Now I have a real problem. I have created a RAM Disk in my RAM and put the same 44.1 files I have on my SSD and HDD on it. Its noticeably better than my SSD. Not as much as from HDD to SSD, but better. Oh well I'll have to write some code to... | |
| Streamer vs. CD Transport Just did a listen test on the same 44.1 CD files, both from an HDD and from an SSD. Both to the same DAC and to my system. The SSD is an NVME one and there is no SATA bus at all. No comparison at all. The SSD trounces the HDD is so many areas its... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Mr Bungle / Disco Volante Ripped to SSD | |
| Streamer vs. CD Transport Just rip your CDs, an SSD is superior to any transport. | |

| Network Switches This is fun. I, a Canadian got a 98.9 on your silly SAT in the 60s. How? I cheated. ;) 'Down Not Across' |
