WOW; great stuff at THE Show, Newport this weekend
whoops, that's the 3rd Annual T.H.E. Show. 
Thoughts from THE Show, is $29k the new $10k?
I was wrong (looked at the official website and had coverage for only two shows). Anyway, it was actually the third annual event.

Hugh Masekela – Hope / Should I get the CD or SACD
Thanks for the help. Ordered on Amazon. Can't wait to compare it to the Redbook.This is truly an amazing recording. What other SACD's sound this good? Looking for Rock/Jazz/etc that sound like this. I only ask because I've read too many comments b...

x2 for the Toy Matinee suggestion. I've had this little gem since it came out in 1990 or so. Just wanted to thank Dollar2 for putting it out there. Really enjoyed it this last weekend.This has been long out of print but is really worth the look fo... 
Cambridge Audio 751 BD or Oppo BDP95?
Thanks for sharing the link to the review. Not familiar with the Primare mentioned in the review, but at three or four times the cost, .... well. The Oppo sure looks good. 
Windows Media Player
Well, I've used both WMA and PowerDVD 10 today. PowerDVD is much better sounding getting rid of the upper-midrange distortion that WMA displays. WMA is definitely better since doing all of the experimenting I did yesterday, but its not there yet. ... 
Windows Media Player
Alright, glad to understand I'm on the right path. I don't need a brick, so I'll leave the BIOS out completely. I'll see if ripping a .wav file in WMP can be done bit perfect. That'd be sweet. I thought I read something about error correction in W... 
Marantz BD7003 + CA 840 C dac - or - Oppo 95
Yes, Pdn, that's kind of what I think: It's probably close. In the end, I just need to bring it home and compare it against my current setup. 
Windows Media Player
Well, I've tried selected advice here so far. Just as a preferrance, I wanted to keep WMA and not rely on a different player. So I have used it and compared it to the CD drive and its not as good as the CD drive playing the CD, but it is better th... 
Windows Media Player
Just getting started here. Haven't checked on the bios yet, but I have played a CD in the drive and it is much better. At least acceptable and I've used the equalizer and it does not seem to be negatively affecting the sound and the pulsing in vol...
