| Adcom DAC the gda-600 is ok for an entry level dac. i use the adcom gda-700 in my den setup. the 700 is another couple levels up from the 600. as for any 16 or 20 bit older dacs, i think a lot of them are better than some of the current 24/96 dacs. last tim... | |
| Looking for a small bedroom amp the decco, the new jolida $395 integrated amp coming out next month. i heard both of these at rmaf and was very impressed | |
| Outdated CD player keep the player and buy a newer dac. thats were most of the improvements have been. | |
| Jitter reduction, best device? i would stay away from the benchmark if you are thinking of using the usb port, it is inferior to the coax port. i would agree that a jitter device will not perform miracles of converting a inferior signal to a fantastic signal. won't happen.i hav... | |
| Any Totem owners in Houston? portland oregon is in the same boat. only 1 dealer has them and i won't step foot into that store. i usually listen to them at CES or buy a pair off a'gon.i have had over 5 pairs of totems and they were all excellent. i use a couple pairs of mani ... | |
| How do YOU organize your iTunes library? i only use playlists so i only include enough songs to store on my iphone, touch and ipods. for example, i setup a playlist called "4iphone" and move enough music in it that doesn't exceed 14gb. same goes for the other ipods. i mainly listen to 8 ... | |
| Airport Express to DAC - Cable Suggestion install a jitter remover device between the AE and your dac. i do this in all of my setups and the sound is vastly improved. you can use a toslink cable from the AE to the jitter device, then use aes or coax to the dac depending on what is support... | |
| NHT SuperOne vs. 1.3 vs. 1.5? i have owned in the past the nht super zeros, super ones, 1.5's, nht subs, and the 2.9's. i would opt for the 1.5's with a warm sounding amp, like mcintosh, or classe. most nht's tilt to the 'cool' side. | |
| John Klemmer tom scott and boney james are 2 of my favorites. we saw boney james last year and it was excellent. other artitsts that i listen to are: dave koz, kirk whalum, david sanborn (terrible in concert IMO), eric marienthal, joshua redman, and patrick la... | |
| Christmas Jazz Anybody? trans siberian orchestra's 3 christmas cd's - excellent and even better in concert (have attended their christmas tour stop in portland every year) yellowjackets - peace roundfourplay - snowbound | |
| John Klemmer i have had the mobile fidelity 'touch' album for over 30 years. i have many of his albums/cds and i think 'touch' is his best work. | |
| Who was your first john klemmer- touch, around 30 years ago. i still have the mobile fidelity album, just listened to it a month ago. | |
| Music Server Setup: Airport Express or Extreme? i do know dan, been over to his house before to listen to his modified dvp9000es players when i was thinking of modifying mine a few years ago. i have not heard his modified TP, but i have listened to his preamps and cd/sacd modified players. | |
| Music Server Setup: Airport Express or Extreme? something lost in the translation. i never mentioned about a dac in the g5. imo, there is no dac that is worth anything that resides in a computer. jax2, i think you are confused on what a wap device is. it is a device outside of the computer. you... | |
| Music Server Setup: Airport Express or Extreme? the AE hookup is not different than what you get with the transporter. all the AE does is to accept a signal wired or wireless from a central computer. that is exactly what the transporter does. so if you think that the AE device is inferior to th... |
