| Upgrading a CD/SACD player with integral DAC Hello Skyscraper, I once had a computer that crashed from a virus, it also took out my external hard drive back-up. Oh-yeah, remember when they tried selling us those things as protection to back-up our files; against potential intrusion? Anti... | |
| Upgrading a CD/SACD player with integral DAC Hello Skyscraper, The bad news is that Silver Platter's inventory of SACD disks is mostly depleted, I just checked. The good news is that the Acoustic Sounds website has various multi-channel SACDs available. There are disks by Pink Floyd, Dir... | |
| Upgrading a CD/SACD player with integral DAC Hello Skyscraper, I usually shop at Silver Platters, a local retail outlet in Seattle WA. They have Blue-Ray audio, BR. Movies, DVD audio, SACD Stereo, SACD multi-channel, and CD's out the wazoo. They have every silver disk that you can thi... | |
| Upgrading a CD/SACD player with integral DAC Hello Skyscraper, I just listened to Joni Mitchell's For The Roses, damn good sounding recording. It was originally released in 1972, and what I heard certainly didn't sound that ancient in SQ. What I listened to had excellent high frequency ... | |
| Upgrading a CD/SACD player with integral DAC Hello Skyscraper, I did mention that you might be pleasantly surprised. Unfortunately, there is a bane over higher resolution devices. For those few recordings that weren't mastered well, their welts are also magnified. I am a great enthusiast... | |
| Upgrading a CD/SACD player with integral DAC Hello Skyscraper, Ditto on the info from Sebrof. I received the paper manual with my unit, and it covers all of your concerns in detail. The lights can easily be turned off, the display can be turned off, the digital output can be turned off, ... | |
| Upgrading a CD/SACD player with integral DAC Hello Skyscraper, I would say from a 100-150 hours of burn in. Later on, you can still get an R2R Dac and have multi-options of 11.2 Mghz up sampling of SACD, Multi-Channel SACD, same with CD, plus the Ruby digital out to your new R2R Dac. You... | |
| Upgrading a CD/SACD player with integral DAC Hello Skyscraper, It should be noted that not all SACD disks are created the same, many vary in sound quality in the same fashion as CDs. I still suggest that the best of SACD can outperform the best of CD, while being played on the Ruby. ... | |
| Upgrading a CD/SACD player with integral DAC Hello Skyscraper, I figured that I would put my two cents in on the SA-KI Ruby. I recently picked one up on Audiogon about a month ago, for only $ 2600.00. It took a long time to burn in; but I have been enjoying it ever since. I think that ... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? I have heard some $90K Analog Equipment that sounds just as....sterile? It sounded just as you described "PRISTINE with all of the resolution of an electron scanning microscope and absolutely sound NOTHING like music". In fact I have tried to sear... | |
| Are We Talking CDs And CDPs Out Of Existence? Whole heartedly agree with Charles1dad. I have been to the Front of those battle lines. The fighting there is merciless. I just don't get the militant aspect of some pro-Computer Audio proponents. I don't even see the corporate support for researc... | |
| How to defeat Pioneer DV-58AV auto power shut-off? DAC is safe. E-mailed Pioneer Service Center. They claim the same, that non-use auto shut off is not defeatable.Pain in the ____ though! | |

Strictly using it for Audio Disks, and connected to Audio System only. Do not have DV-58AV HDMI connected to TV. I am not controlling DV-58A... | |
| Should Sound Quality of Computer Audio be improved My apologies to everyone. I am just unsure as to what everyone considers as "Musical Archive". Back in the day Iseem to remember a lot of Musical Archive stored on Master Analog Tape. CD happened, then New Music was recorded on DATTape. The last t... | |
