why dsd
"They" can't make anyone buy anything. If you are happy with your 1980s vintage Lp or Cd or just don't want to buy an album more than once it is your inalienable right to not buy it again in another format.There are many albums I won't buy again a...

McCormack DNA-750 vs Conrad Johnson MF-2550SE? ...
c-j does manufacture McCormack gear now and it is possible that the only difference is the faceplate. I know this is the case with their cd player.I believe Steve McCormack still does mods to McCormack gear.

Your friend is right that digital is evolving rapidly so there is the possibility that you will regret not having waited a little longer to buy a Dac. I would not hurry to spend $7,000 on one without having heard it.There is not a huge catalog of ...

CD Players: Stop breaking down
My Oppo BDP-95 works fine, but the transport, while fine for the price, does not inspire great confidence in me that it is built for the long haul. There are probably threads about which transports last longest. You could also see if you can buy a... 
Why are CD's decling in quality?
There is cdJapan:http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/index.htmlfor the widest selection. They are in Japan and I've never ordered from them so I can't comment on their service, delivery time, etc.To the op's question, I borrow cds from the library from time ...
