| Ipod to Digital Out Good news! I hope this means that those with circuitry skills will jump right on this! Perhaps an iPod-SPDIF adaptor...I just got this response from Monitor Audio:"The i-deck uses the analogue line output from the iPod. The digital/ audio over USB... | |
| Jethro Tull Qdrone - can you explain to me how the 24bit CD player works. I've got an Electrocompaniet EC-1 which sports a 24 Bit upsampler 192KHz DAC. However, I always figured it just reads any CD at 16 bit and then converts to 24 in the DAC. Would my CD pl... | |
| Ipod to Digital Out OK - I've got an email in to the technical i-Deck person at Monitor Audio. I'll report back if I get an answer. | |
| Ipod to Digital Out Thanks Marco - that thread was really helpful, and it does appear like the Monitor Audio unit takes digital out of the ipod. Maybe someday... we'll all be able to get digital out to our personal DAC! | |
| Jethro Tull Where does one find the DCC CD's? Are they all as expensive as the ones advertised on ebay ($50)? Wow! Any suggestions for reasonably priced sources are most welcome. Thanks. | |
| Best way to copy LPs to CD's using a Computer Oregon - you said it! I enjoyed copying my vinyl to CD, as I was listening to new music and getting exposed to it. Make it part of the listening experience!Goatwuss - I think the best way to make truly hifi reproductions is with an external, USB a... | |
| Best way to copy LPs to CD's using a Computer Interesting comments. Herman, I've used Tracer Technology's software (DC5) and setting levels wasn't too much of a hassle. Just like making a tape. Find the loudest passage (look at the grooves) and dial them in. DC5 lets you make an intermediate ... | |
| Best way to copy LPs to CD's using a Computer For PC based, you might want go look at DC6 by Tracer Technologies. Google on their website. | |
| Newbie needs to make a decision, Rogue? Manley? It's always been my impression that Rogue has a somewhat aggressive midrange "house sound". Am I wrong about this? I'm sure someone will tell me that is the case. I wonder if that's the difference you hear between the Manley and Rogue? | |
| Best way to copy LPs to CD's using a Computer Beyond the software, the question is: what level of fidelity are you trying to acheive? If you are after really high fidelity, I would recommend getting an extenal analog to digital converter like Apogee. Alot depends on how you convert the signal... | |
| VTL MB-450 "Generations" I recently spoke with Bea, as I am about to purchase a pair of 1997 MB-450's that have been upgraded with infinicaps, the tube saver circuit, and balanced inputs (in addition to the RCA's). The tube saver circuit is not the soft start, but a curre... | |
| Jethro Tull Can anyone speak to the best quality recordings: both CD and LP? I have a greatest hits CD and it sounds absolutely aweful. I'd like to get some recordings that capture the magic.Thanks, Peter | |
| Building a System around old McIntosh Components Thanks Arthur. How does the rebuild requirement from a SS amp like the 2100 differ from a tube one like the 240? Given the shipping costs, is it easier to just have it done here in Seattle than shipping it halfway across the country?Is the tuner r... | |
| Building a System around old McIntosh Components Another preamp I'm thinking about is the VTL 2.5. I really like the McIntosh 2200, I've heard it before, but I think it's too pricey. | |
| Stylus Force Guages - why extreme accuracy? Anyone remember their college physics? How much of an error will be caused by having the stylus 1/2 inch higher or lower than the record surface? I doubt it is much, but haven't cracked my textbooks to do the calculation. Anybody? |
