| What's the use of 20 and 24 bit DACs with CDs? Settle down boys and girls. I was only posting how some people think, not me; ie, why buy a Turbo 24 bit when a 16 bit produces sound. The 4 cylinder people buy Bose. | |
| What's the use of 20 and 24 bit DACs with CDs? Great response Craig! It's the same as a car. The speed limit is 65, so why get the Turbo V6, when the standard 4 cylinder will get you there. | |
| The best 5 disc CD Changer. I am confused by your post. Would not the CD Changer only have digital output for CD playback the same as the Sony. Or are you looking for a 5 Disc DVD Changer?It will be harder to find, now that it has just been discontinued (Best Buy did carry i... | |
| Help with decision...New CDP or add DAC to DVD? I agree, that old Rotel makes a nice transport and is still quite good in its own right. The Pioneer and Onkyo DVD players have a very good Burr Brown DAC in them; the same one that comes in many very good CD players. The other budget DVD players ... | |
| Rotel RCD 991 AE with MSB III Half Nelson DAC IMO you're wasting your money, if you also continue to use the Link DAC. The Rotel will only be a transport in that setup and it's internal DAC will not really matter. There is nothing special about the transport mechanism in the Rotel 991. It was... | |
| Help with decision...New CDP or add DAC to DVD? I am not technical expert, but since DVDs are harder to read than audio CDs, I can't see how a DVD player could do a bad job. Try a MSB Link DAC; right at your budget brand new. | |
| Best sub match for Dynaudio 1.3 SE? REL is always a safe bet if you do not have the ability to demo different brands first. They integrate well with almost any system, and are very musical. | |
| PRE and AMPS same brand ? or different brand? I think it is a good place to start for the reasons stated. My system started out that way as far as the preamp and power amp, but now is different. The amp was changed. After the change I found it interesting that I discovered others have the sam... | |
| ModWright Panasonic DVD Player Mods Stan Warren will also mod the Pioneer. Great player with his mods. | |
| Bookshelf Speakers For 350 Or Less?? new & used B&W DM302 used under $200, or the new DM303 which is $300 new I think. The DM303 just won the european speaker of the year award. The DM302 has been the lowest priced speaker with a Stereophile recommendation for years. | |
| Signal direction I agree that you may find the cables need breaking in again. This is the only directional issue that may or may not appear and goes away with use. | |
| The best CD player new or used for under 500 You may also want to consider sending your link DAC to Stan Warren also for some excellent mods. | |
| CJ PFR question - is it OK to leave the preamp on The PFR does not have an on/off switch for the reason it is better to leave it on, so was designed that way. It takes probably 4+ hours for it to sound its best on warm up, so if you feel you want to shut if off, then turn it on in the morning you... | |
| Who does POWER SUPPLY upgrades?? Bill Thalmann at Music Technology. Bill is a former engineer at Conrad Johnson. Will upgrade power supply parts including the rectifier as well as add an IEC if you want that too. Go to http://www.musictechnology.com/ | |
| The best CD player new or used for under 500 If you're using a Link DAC, then you need a good transport to read the CDs, not a CD player. The DAC replaces the rest of the CD player's electronics. The D500 has a decent Sony transport. The BNC is the same signal as Coax, so you can just get an... |
