| Denon x4700h DAC change There have been several forum threads addressing the differences and uses of DAC chips. It would be useful to take advantage of the search button at top this page. | |
| Denon x4700h DAC change it seems that these chips are inferior to AKM It is not the chips that make the DAC. Its how they are implemented in the design and manufacture of the converter. but could it sound better? You`ll have to compare it to another mfr`s DAC. | |
| Is audio gear sensitive to static electricity? To answer your headline question, yes it is. I think, the static discharge will occur if you were touch something on your system. Harmful to your system? - maybe over time. I know a static discharge can shut down some system components. With rega... | |
| Ultimate stereo nightmare I would check where the cable wire is inserted into the temination. A slight chance that it may be loose due to not being fully attached during manufacturing. Try wiggling it near its` insertion as you play some music. If you use locking bananas,... | |
| Best Basic CD Player (no SACD, USB, etc.) NAD has been known to bring out some good sounding players, but their reliability has been known to be spotty, as well. | |
| Best Basic CD Player (no SACD, USB, etc.) Any CD player, regardless of price, can have issues. You may be better off not spending too much, on a new player. Brands such as Denon, Yamaha, Marantz, and Rotel seem to make decent units for the money. I`d be careful about spending too much on... | |

| Best Basic CD Player (no SACD, USB, etc.) +1 Rega Apollo. Denon, and Rotel. An SACD player would not cause you to resign buy your collection. It will still play regular cds as well. SACD capability will add cost to the player. | |
| Best Basic CD Player (no SACD, USB, etc.) @cal91 Excuse me, check the archives. Here`s a list of retailers- Audio Advisor, Crutchfield, Music Direct, and Upscale Audio. | |
| System Advice required please "even used these are more expensive than you want to spend." How about the Quicksilver linestage, or a Schiit Freya+? | |

| Snowballs " What’s the Audio equivalent?" Someone throwing a tennis ball and hitting your Turntable w/ the cover down or hitting your CDP while playing. " But getting hit by a snowball-Dios Mio!" I don`t think you get it. There is a line that both specta... | |
| Product life cycle @ebm +1 The point is, its at the end of it`s life cycle. Either trash it, or drop it off at one of the municipal collections for electronics. | |
| Yamaha CDS-1000 or Denon DCD-1600ne Put that coin away! Yamaha`s are known to be slightly warm. I`d go with the Denon. And, yes, I have heard both. | |
| Review: Denafrips Ares II You are an example. I had an excellent chance to buy an Aries. Instead, I decided on Yggdrasil at a good price. Have to hold myself back, because there is always something better. |
