| Are CD players dead My point exactly Kevvwill. Only concern is vacuum ofselection in New Music once CD is gone (1 year), and vacuum of Selection of New Music in High Rez. Downloads.I sense the same desperation in Selection in High Rez.Downloads as I did in SACD-how d... | |
| difference beetwen pc audio and hi-end? I am tempted to respond to this, Timlub. My impression is that I-Tunes (MAC) is not so good. Amarra will give PC arun for its Money. MAC Mini sounds promising, but modifications cost as much as a brand new MAC Mini, if notmore! Why didn't MAC get ... | |
| difference beetwen pc audio and hi-end? Didn't DCS write a paper on how to set-up Computer Audio?Somebody help out here! Awidyne, how much money were youconcidering investing in a System? DCS is some serious money, but can be done via one of their DAC's-and one oftheir transports plus P... | |
| CD-format to be abandoned by major labels by the e Boy...do I feel like a Prophet! See my other responses to this subject. The article is spot on coming from the Manufacturer's (Horses) mouth.

| What software for 24/192 playback on PC? Mac Mini died? That isn't a clue? That is all of the information I need to know! You kind of ran over that realcritical piece of information so fast, I almost missed it. Sure, I will run out and get my dead Mac Mini right away!I will certainly app... | |
| Are CD players dead Slow down and get a grip on the CD Format. Why the Ultimatum? SACD, DVD-Audio, Hi-Rez. DVD Audio, MLP DVDAudio Multi-Channel, SACD Multi-Channel, all have beenabandoned and replaced with MP3. You are going to end upadding High Rez. Computer Audio ... | |
| Are CD players dead Not trying to scare anyone. Just think that in your zeal toput Ultimatum on CD Format, not stopping to think of possible consequences. History shows the switching of Formats overlapping. This will be the first of deliberately creating a vacuum bet... | |
| Are CD players dead Too early to tell with the CD Player, NOT too early to tellwith the CD Format. Most Downloading is via MP3, I doubt that High Resolution even makes up 2% of the Downloading Market. What you are really talking about is replacing the CD Format with ... | |

| Are CD players dead I hear you, Mapman-Devilboy! Any conversation about CD Players always includes an Ultimatum about the CD Format asopposed to Computer Downloading. CDs are prematurely disappearing rapidly! Would like to go Computer Audio all of the way-just not su... | |
| Are CD players dead Yeeeaahh, sort of like the impervious Housing Market-themain reason everyone is selling on Audiogon? The imperviousAudio Market-is that like the unsinkable battleship? I havegone through allot of Formats in my time. This will be thefirst time that... | |
| Are CD players dead Are there two Mapmans? I thought you said, "I can go to HDTracks and Download Albums today at higher res than CDif I choose. What's the problem?". So-what is the problem?If atleast some Standard isn't established for ComputerAudio Downloads, peopl... | |
| Are CD players dead Gonna hold off on that Media Player (J.R. River Media Center Vers. 12....99). Ditto on the Sampling Rate of theweek from HD Tracks (A new DAC every week-Really?). YourDownload Format is dizzolving into ambiguity due to endlessrevisions. Like buyin... |
