Novice question about HMDI Music Serv. Ap.
You know, this whole PC/Music Serving thing is reallystarting to become a drag! No reflection on you Kal,but if I hear of one more Computer Audiophile drooling of doing away with the Silver Disks, I am going to shove his Hard Drive where the sun d... 
Utilizing PC, options for downloading muti-channel
It just seems to me that for Music Serving application,just to rip a copy of these multi-channel disks ontoa Hard Drive, you need some kind of a ROM Drive just toread the Disk. You would need one that not only readmulti-channel DVD-Audio High Rez.... 
SACD's to avoid due to poor remastering.
What amazes me is the much higher quality off of DVD Soundtracks than their CD matching counterpart.What the hell are they using for the Mastering sourcefor these CD's? Why not just rent the DVD Movie and rip a copy of its Soundtrack? It would sti... 
Modded SACD player: SACD or Redbook sound best?"
I will leave the difference between SACD/REDBOOK to ones own preference. I still think that SACD remains a 1-bit System, I still hear limited dynamics compared to the best Redbook. SACD still has a larger soundstage and better imaging as well as d...

Novice question about Internet Downloading.
Yeah.....like I was supposed to embrace the future of SACD, and DVD-Audio! Twice burned, three times shy! So why should I trust the next Con, Swindle, and Rip-off of the next Format! I have a loooong memory- all five minutes of it! You are going t... 
Novice question about Internet Downloading.
Thanks Swampwalker, will check it out. Yeah, I might be in the wrong Forum-sorry about that, Vandermeulen! I am just a plain Audiophile who is a little worried about the down sloping demise of CD, SACD, and DVD-Audio! Just what exactly is going to... 
Novice question about Internet Downloading.
USB can carry 24/96-24/196 High Resolution Digital? What happens when these High Resolution Digital Files are compressed? Any Music Servers that provide their own Hardware for Downloading High Resolution Digital Files off of the Internet, bypassin... 
Novice question about Internet Downloading.
Valid question, Vandermeulen. I am a novice of Computers, and I am just an Audio geek. I am Military Retired, and currently using a CyberCafe Computer on Base for free. I don't own my own Computer. I have been surfing the Internet for some time. ... 
MOLD on compact discs
I had a similar problem- an ABBA 2-disk Collection edition. It seems that a thin film of insulation that was supposed to protect the CD disks, actually decayed and affixed itself to the disks. I tried to remove the gluey gunk with soap and water, ...

Sorry about the lack of brevity, 2chnlben, but what do you expect from someone who is on drugs. Alright, lets try to set all hurt feelings aside, and I will try to be brief as possible. I firmly believe that the Rectifying Power Stage to ANY circu...

Jmcgrogan2-SNAP! Almarg-CRACKLE! Cajunpepe-POP! Is that noise my breakfast cereal, or my Drugs kicking in? If it is neither, then (ZAP!) someone is spasming on the way to becoming a crispy critter! Naw, couldn't be, I must be drunk or my inability...
