| Thinking about Laptop system - Newbie Questions I have decided to use FLAC instead of wma lossless, since it is a native format for Squeezebox Duet. Using a trial version of dBpoweramp to rip and/or convert. EAC seems to be a little too complicated for me. | |
| Thinking about Laptop system - Newbie Questions Well, I decided to go with a Squeezebox Duet and Cambridge Dac Magic to start my music server adventure. It should give me a good base to start with. Now need to get a nice HD and back-up to store my tunes.Thanks to all for supplying some great info. | |
| Thinking about Laptop system - Newbie Questions Richard - It would be much easier for my installation to use a SB Duet or Transporter. How is the sound quality of the SB Duet without DAC? Is it listenable until I get a DAC? | |
| Thinking about Laptop system - Newbie Questions Rakuennow- I like the suggestion of forgoing the Logitech devices, just using laptop and DAC. One problem I have is that where I use the laptop is across the room from the DAC. Would need to use a long cable. Also, my laptop has 3.5mm digital (opt... | |
| DTS-HD Master Audio / Dolby TrueHD / PCM 5.1 Dweller - How can DTS-HD spin at a higher velocity? I thought all Blu-rays spin at a specified rate, faster at the be beginning, then gradually slower, as the laser goes from inner toward outer part of disc. Same as DVD, CD. | |
| Which speaker for 30 watts amplification at $1000? I highly recommend the Monitior Audio RS6. Using this with Naim XS. Very nice bass output for a speaker of this size. | |
| How good is the Benz Mrico LP-S and Ruby 3 really? I have the Rondo Bronze also. What don't you like about it? What does the rest of your system cocsists of? | |
| Very small very sensitive floor stander 1000? Check out the Monitor Audio RS6. Very easy to drive (91dB). Amazing bass for this size floorstanding speaker. New under $1000. The the Rosenut wood is beautiful!!! | |
| Naim cd5i Mark II italic ? First off, I bought the CD5x/Flatcap2x together, so never heard the CD5x without it.CD5i and CD5x seem to have the same Naim sound characteristics. Very dynamic, really gets your toes a tappin'. I would say that the CD5x/Flatcap2x combo probably i... | |
| Naim cd5i Mark II italic ? You should notice quite an improvement over the Denon. What is the rest of your system? | |
| Naim cd5i Mark II italic ? On the label on back of unit, model number will state CD5i ("i" in italic).I had one for about a month. Then stepped up to CD5x and Flatcap2x. The CD5i (italic) was probably the best CD player I have heard in quite a while. Blew the McIntosh MCD20... | |
| Anthem AVM 20 V.2, Outlaw 990, or ??? I have the Anthem AVM 20, using in 5.1 channel system. Wonderful sounding processor. Great for music and movies. One thing, which you may not be aware of: It does not decode any of the new blu-ray audio formats. You would need to get a blu-ray pla... | |
| The Elusive Denon DP 500M Turntable I had this TT for about 4 months. Only vibration damping is the feet. Everything else is ridged. No means to adjust VTA. I thought it was very harsh sounding using Denon DL103. I really wouldn't recommend it. I would go with a similar priced Rega. | |
| Jazz at the Pawn Shop... I never understood why this recording has such high regard. I sometimes play it as background music, but it is nothing special. | |
| Arm for Basis 2200? I'm using Origin Liver Silver on my Basis 1400. Great tonearm for under $1000 used. I would love to eventually get the Vector 4. |
