| Considering the Pro-ject Box CD RS2 Transport ? You might want to read this, first. @deralte: "I cannot agree about the complaints about the size and the weight" It's entirely subjective, as I've said all along and as such, is not something to be debated. | |
| Considering the Pro-ject Box CD RS2 Transport ? You might want to read this, first. I thought I'd try the Bryston BCD-3 as an alternative (yes, I'm well aware that it doesn't utilize the same Steam Unlimited mechanism as the RS2) but was told by Audio Advisor that Bryston is unable to provide eta's for any components, due to seve... | |
| Pet Sounds: Most Overrated Album of All Time? Sgt. Pepper would be my vote for most overrated. | |
| Considering the Pro-ject Box CD RS2 Transport ? You might want to read this, first. @charles1dad: Sorry for the confusion-- I only meant to say that because resolution is not my highest priority, returning the Pro-ject was not as big a deal as it might be for others. I wasn't making any negative judgments about the Pro-ject itse... | |
| Considering the Pro-ject Box CD RS2 Transport ? You might want to read this, first. BTW, I'm a half-decent guitar player, so it's not like I'm totally uncoordinated when it comes to manipulating my digits. The Sim transport poses no issues for me. Also, resolution has never been my topmost priority when it comes to audio, so thi... | |

| Next best exponential DAC quality level? @martinman: "I think the best way to sum up this thread is ... you can get a lot of DAC for very little $$$". I'd suggest that depends upon what you like and more to the point, what you've heard. A 2K DAC may sound incredible compared to a... | |
| Next best exponential DAC quality level? @martinman: It's regrettable that you inadvertently stepped on a hornet's nest. The best approach would be to listen to DACs at various price points and of various architectures in your system and let your ears decide. DACs cover quite a wide s... | |
| Considering the Pro-ject Box CD RS2 Transport ? You might want to read this, first. Maybe the typos above are evidence that I am in fact less manually dexterous than most! ;o) | |
| Considering the Pro-ject Box CD RS2 Transport ? You might want to read this, first. @nonnoise: I'd buy the Aqua in a heartbeat if I could afford it! @charlesidad: I'm sorry for misunderstanding your intent. @gdprenkidz: I'd agree that it would be very difficult to find something better in terms of SQ. @audio-union: How do y... | |
| Considering the Pro-ject Box CD RS2 Transport ? You might want to read this, first. @stereo5 Thanks for the suggestions. I've sworn off Chinese components. I will either wait for the (seemingly mythical) Urd to appear or try Bryston's CDP that uses older Steam Unlimited technology. No-- it will not equal the Pro-ject but may... | |
| Considering the Pro-ject Box CD RS2 Transport ? You might want to read this, first. @fuzztone: I have no doubt that your suggestions will be utilized! | |
| Considering the Pro-ject Box CD RS2 Transport ? You might want to read this, first. @charles1dad: "The Pro-ject has convinced me that a superior transport makes a significant difference". Amen brother👍" Glad you understand me ! | |
| Considering the Pro-ject Box CD RS2 Transport ? You might want to read this, first. @charles1dad: I'd have thought my original post would've clarified the fact that I'm not on a campaign to bad-mouth the product. Were it offered in a more conventionally-sized and weighted case, I'd have no complaints. Nevertheless, no matter ... | |
| Considering the Pro-ject Box CD RS2 Transport ? You might want to read this, first. Thanks for the positive reinforcement, nonoise ;o) The Pro-ject has convinced me that a superior transport makes a significant difference. |
