| The CD player is dead....... Ohhhh...Never have I been so misunderstood. What I wrote was a direct quote from another source, the Computer Manufacturing Industry itself. THIS is the source of the laziness in the lack of designing Computers for HIGH END Music Storage and Repro... | |
| The CD player is dead....... Devilboy, what can I say that hasn't already been said here. Every once in a while, I come across someone who pangs to put the last nail in the coffin of CD. Perhaps there is a Technical advantage to Hard Drive Music Storage. The Technology is not... | |
| Windows XP or Windows 7? Blindjim, good advice. I do have a preference when listening to my Stereo via an optical Universal Player. I still listen mostly to CD. Can't stand 2 Channel SACD or 2 Channel High Resolution DVD Audio. IMHO..both lack dynamicswhen compared to CD,... | |
| Great Blu-ray or DVD player for CD Transport Willland, You say that the Onkyo DV-SP1000 is a pre-BD/HDDVDUniversal Player.

| Great Blu-ray or DVD player for CD Transport Checked out Onkyo DV-SP1000 on forums.klipsch, Willland.It looks like a very nice Unit. The claim on forums.klipschis that it will not do HD DVD.

| Great Blu-ray or DVD player for CD Transport Dsutfin, does DV-79avi do Multi-channel SACD/High Res. DVDAudio Disks? Will it downmix these to 2 Channels? This hasatleast 1/3 wider and deeper Soundstage than Redbook CD. No faky or fuzzy Dolby Surround Sound here, not when downmixed. Sounds cry... | |
| Windows XP or Windows 7? Thanks for the info. I am a 20 yr retiree from Navy. My last Command was a Bird Farm, The U.S.S. Abraham Lincolnbased at Everett WA. Do you know how many so called High End externalComputer DAC's claim that USB 2.0 can only handle Music Files fro... | |

| Windows XP or Windows 7? Thanks for the response Blindjim. As far as getting reams of info off of the Internet, ahhh thats pretty much where I got the Article from the prementioned Professor. The guy who claims that Windows XP downsamples everything to 16Bit/44.1kHz. He c... | |
| Windows XP or Windows 7? Blindjim, read it from an Article in a National Magazine. Some Professor who is supposed to be an expert in utilizingand upgrading PC's for Music Storage. It just goes to show the Misinformation Mine Field that Novices like me have to navigate. Fo... | |
| Great Blu-ray or DVD player for CD Transport I have been using a Pioneer DV-58AV. Not only Digital outto my favorite DAC for CD, but also utilizing multi-channel High Resolution DVD-Audio as well as multi-channelSACD Disks. Downmixing these to 2-Channel via the Pioneer,is probably the best t... | |
| Utilizing PC, options for downloading muti-channel The Pioneer DV-58AV doesn't upconvert 16/44. Even if itdid the 2-channel version Disk CONTENT is still specified as 96kHz/24-bit.

The Soundstage definitely collapseswhen compared to the Multi-Channel (24 bit/96kHz)Downmixed version. The first thing th... | |
| Utilizing PC, options for downloading muti-channel I would be happy with the downmixing process utilized inthe Pioneer DV-58AV. IF you could apply that to a 6 ChannelAdvanced Resolution ripped copy of Dianna Krall "The LookOf Love", could it possibly get any better? They are nolonger going to prod... |
