| Paid for UPS shipping and the package was immediately sent to the US Post Office. OP here. The strange thing is that I originally got a UPS tracking #, and a day later UPS handed it over and the US Post Office gave it a new Post Office tracking #. So it looks like the UPS Store just handed it over to UPS as normal, and the UPS... | |
| Paid for UPS shipping and the package was immediately sent to the US Post Office. Thanks for that. I've shipped internationally with UPS several times and shipping always stayed within the UPS network. I thought it might be something new in this Supply Chain Crisis era. It's significant money for a 20-pound box with that UPS f... | |
| How to get EMM XDS1 to play DSD files via its USB DAC mode? (Using Jriver in Windows.) Update, PotPlayer plays the files, but I think it is converting them to PCM, as the EMM display shows 48 kHz playback. | |
| Has Paypal suddenly started charging sales tax? Thanks for the update. This was sure under the radar for me. | |
| List iof 192khz/24bit music in Qobuz I find if I really want the best sound from Qobuz and I like a particular album or track, I buy it and download it. Tracks in HiRes are $2. Albums in HiRes (if you have Qobuz Sublime level) are about $10.) Even 16/44 is much better than the stream... | |
| Beatles best album and concert dvd? Yep, I was always a bit obsessed about the lack of SACD/DSD Beatles recordings. (The Stones catalog managed to do this almost 20 years ago.) The great advances in DAC technology for PCM have of course helped with this, but it just seems a waste no... | |
| DAC Choices - $5,000 to $7,000 Used Chord DAVE. (No need for an Mscaler with this.)If you are into DSD files or SACDs or like a really deep sense of detail (and a system that can handle some soaring highs), look for an EMM labs DAC or high-end CD player with DAC capablity. (Aga... | |
| Beatles best album and concert dvd? If you ever get into the vast library of Beatles rarities, alternative takes, and all sorts of Beatles archives out there on CD, you may go nuts. There are all sorts of musically valuable treasures out there, mostly on CD. Just google around for i... | |
| Experiences Selling Stuff On Audiogon? For as long as I can remember, I never had any real bad experiences selling or buying many, many items over the last (roughly) 20 years (here on Audiogon). Audio people tend to be very honest, upstanding people. There is something about audiophile... | |
| Ever Hear a Tube CD player? Modwright used to do a tube-mod of the Oppo Disc Players. Sometimes you can find them used.There were 2 tubes sticking up on the top of the player and a new separate power supply box. I had one but sold it .http://modwright.com/modifications/oppo-... | |
| Looking for more detail in a speaker Ha-ha, probably could have a whole thread about the difference between "resolution" and "detail." But if anyone wants to take a stab at it should be a good read. :) | |
| Favorite Headphone Stands - What do you look for? I would get the Woo [The Woo HPS-R.]. It lets the headphones hang naturally without making the pads press against anything in between them. You don’t want extra pressure on the pads if you can avoid it. They get enough of that on your head.And the... | |
| Looking for more detail in a speaker Details? Try something with a ceramic driver for mids like a Kharma. Also (maybe first), look at getting a high-end DAC like an EMM or Chord (DAVE or TT2). | |
| Playback Designs Merlot? Has anyone compared the Merlot on DSD to EMM labs (thanks in advance)?I’m a huge fan of EMM on SACD/DSD, but they do not make a small format DAC that can fit on my desk.I am specifically asking about DSD file performance.Thank you. | |
| Should I trust movers with my equipment? Thanks. I'll see if they do long distance moves. I appreciate the info. |
