| Memory playback worse than disk... Why? I also believe JRivers buffer setting to be the problem. I agree that FLAC is not a bad format, but to my old ears, WAV sounds better. You can argue formats all day, but in the end, listen to you're own preference. Mizuno, I switched back to fooba... | |
| Can Redbook CD Be Saved My experience is 100% the same as Steve's. Not all high res recordings are great... The recording is the recording regardless of the resolution factor, but when you get a great recording in hi res.... The results are outstanding.. I find it reward... | |
| Can Redbook CD Be Saved Compact Disc are a digital source recorded at 16 bit 44.1khz. I haven't heard too much argument that anyone spending time with SACD will say that it is better than CD... SACD records 24 bit up to 96khz... This quality can easily be maintained in a... | |
| Can Redbook CD Be Saved I truly believe that Cd's will be saved.... on hard drives.Plus you have the ability to try several different dac's to fine tune to your liking. | |

| From pro to hi-fi and a little confused... Hi JohnK & Shadorne, I'm not arguing that there aren't benefits to sensitivity or size and John, I really don't think your opinion is necessarily jaded. You argue your preference. Shadorne, I still think you overstating negativity about the Fo... | |

| A bit overwhelmed, need preamp advice Hi David,I don't want to totally discourage a preamp, but with 1 source, I really recommend you run your computer to the DAC and straight to the amp. I don't know what server program you are using, but Foobar 2000 has a digital volume built in and... | |
| From pro to hi-fi and a little confused... Hi JohnK, As a whole I agree with your statements about Large Hi sensitivity speakers, but your statements aren't entirely fair. I'll just take dyns... "You have to sit very close to smaller loudspeakers to reduce this if not music peaks will soun... | |
| From pro to hi-fi and a little confused... I don't know if you are interested in pro in any way anymore, but a pro company, SLS did a powered monitor that can play in the audiophile arena. I believe it is a PSR-8. I've heard them in a very busy show setting, never critical listening, but I... | |
| Help me build a fine PC sound system Hi Blindjim, I am attaching a thread from Headfi.org This soundcard/dac had a thread there that ran about 2 years. It is the Musiland Monitor 02US. It is a pain to set up because of all it takes to get it right, but when you get there, I have foun... | |
| Appreciate recommendations for SS preamp purchase Hi Noslepums,I tend to think pretty much like Michael above (Sufentanil)But I would like to add to his list a couple of my favorite $1000 or under pre's.
