| Inexpensive CD Player If the sound doesn't matter, in that price range you could get a pretty good DVD player from virtually any mass market supplier and use it as a CD player. I would check out Consumer Reports for long term reliability ratings. I have an Integra DVD ... | |
| It's the Sony XA5400ES the best CDP under 4k I own the Sony. If your budget extends to 4k, you should be able to do a lot better | |
| Digitalmeisters - Thoughts on Olive..... Airport express is a router with increased connectivity compared to standard routers. The WiFi signal from AE (or any other router) will then be captured by any device capable of receiving a Wi Fi signal. Alternatively, it can be directly connecte... | |
| Digitalmeisters - Thoughts on Olive..... I had bought the 4 D and returned it. Sound was ho hum and the software is terrible. It couldn't recognize 13 out of the 15 discs that I attempted to load. I decided to go with a 2 TB iMac. I had previously used both a MacBook Pro and a MiniMac an... | |
| Best Phono solid state under 2K? I've been pretty hapy with the PS Audio. It has great fleibility for gain adjustment. | |
| Modwright sony xa 5400cd I also have the base unit. What is the nature of the upgrade?As. I've said in previous posts, I've been disappointed by this unit, but not the same way that you have. | |
| Wadia 130 A-D- Converter I looked up Alessis, but the only thing that looked like it might fit was a company that makes pro audio stuff based in Cumberland R. I. | |

| Direct TV and digital hum problems Did you try using an inexpensive hum buster? | |
| Dac recommendations for computer audio If the Mini has a firewire ouput, I highly suggest the Apogee firewire DAC | |

| How to transfer LP to iMAC Computer I would purchase a USB Phono preamp. Project and NAD both have models for under $200. I have used the Project with my imac. The bigger issue is what software package to choose. The best news is that they are free; the good news is that they can be... | |
| SONY XA5400ES - Preliminary Observations I was asked on 2/05 if I thought American Theatre sold me a defective unit. I did not mean to imply that. The unit has been steadily improving in the past few weeks. There is a break in period. | |
| SONY XA5400ES - Preliminary Observations I gone mine from American Theatre as well and began using it two days ago. I had (still own) the previous incarnation of this player, the ES9100, which sounded fantastic (particularly with multichannel SACD) via the "i-link" to a Sony compatible r... | |
| The best CD Player for the money Marantz 803, both SACD/CD with a USB input. Fantastic player for $750.00 |
