PC audio is it the best next thing????
Chazz,That's why you get/build a silent computer. My little Shuttle computer is totally silent.There are a lot of companies making USB DACS. Entry level would be something like the Firestone Audio Fubar ($119). The Scott Nixon USB TubeDac ($600) i... 
PC audio is it the best next thing????
Squirrel,I agree with your comments. I dumped my reference SACD/CD player about 18 months ago and haven't looked back. I use a Bolder modified Squeezebox 2 in the big rig. At the computer it's coax out to DAC to modified Red Dragon monos driving E... 
PC audio is it the best next thing????
Blu-ray players are not backward compatible with CD's. My neighbor has both a Sony and a Samsung unit and neither one will play a cd. Also, I have read numerous reviews that confirm this fact. Power up and boot times are extremely slow compared to... 
Has iTunes, etc. impacted your listening habits?
1800+ CD's ripped in lossless and counting. I have an external DAC hooked up to my PC (near silent} which drives a pair of mono's and some ERA Design4 speakers with a small subwoofer. I do 90% of my listening at the computer these days. When I get...

Anyone else experiencing the rude highend retailer

Anyone else experiencing the rude highend retailer
In addition, if you’re not dropping 20 or 30 large, then they don't have the time of day for you. It's like they want to make their nut for the entire month in one quick sale. On a side note, I was over at BB yesterday, and wandered into the new M... 
New Norah Jones on SACD?
According to Blue Note Records and a Google search, no. 
Thinking about selling my CD collection = MP3
When you purchase a CD, you are purchasing the right to listen to the music. Fair use allows you to make a backup copy just in case the original becomes lost or damaged. Now, when you sell the original CD, you are selling your right to listen to t... 
Review: ERA Model 4
I love my little D4's also. Small, easy to place, sweet and extended and they throw a hugh soundstage.

Signal Path ERA D4'sThese will work. I've just picked up a pair for my office and I'm really happy with them. Retail is $600/pr or $2500 for 4 sat's, center and matching sub.
