| Digital Emperor has no clothes Of course 16/44.1 sounds better than 24/192. And Mp3 sounds better than 16/44.1. Everyone knows that. | |
| Oppo 95: Burn-in...and Fan Minus, Many people think that it is the owner's perception that breaks in over the first 100 or 500 hours. That's possible in your world, isn't it? You'll only find frustration if you try to apply physics to human perception and behavior. | |
| Audiophile grade country Anyone who listens to country music should listen to Emmylou Harris. She's not old school honky tonk but she is definitely country and not country-pop or whatever it's called.Her early albums were remastered by Rhino Records and all her work has g... | |
| Mach2Music mini and Amarra : Huge disappointment Chadeffect, I think the attraction of vinyl is that it's the way that people listened when they developed their taste in music, not that it's a superior format. Maybe a couple of decades ago, but digital is more accurate to the master tape or file... | |
| Mach2Music mini and Amarra : Huge disappointment Chadeffect, I hate to tell you this but even if the signal coming out of your DAC is as pure as the driven snow the rest of your system is coloring it. And for that matter, the file on your server is a pale reflection of what was heard by the musi... | |
| Most forgiving high end speaker 10k-20k? No speaker, including highly detailed ones, presents the music exactly as it was recorded on the disc or lp. In fact there is no one sound that represents what the grooves or digits represent. Every stereo system, including the mixing engineer's, ... | |
| Transport for PS Audio PW DAC I'd suggest getting a PWT or selling the PWD and getting a Oppo BDP95 or Sony XA5400ES or Marantz 8004. | |
| Most forgiving high end speaker 10k-20k? Dali speakers are "forgiving" or "easy to listen to." TAS calls them speakers you can marry for life, and Michael Fremer gave them a good review in Stereophile. You can find the review on their website.There are a couple pair of their "Euphonia" l... | |
| Mach2Music mini and Amarra : Huge disappointment Hfisher, It's good to hear another report of great sound quality on a server system. I'm sure it's especially satisfying when you put some hard work into acheiving it.I am a lazy audiophile though. I am happy playing discs and although I'm sure my... | |
| Mach2Music mini and Amarra : Huge disappointment Hi Hfisher, I'm not saying that computer audio doesn't sound good, there are plenty of people raving about it. It's just that when I start looking into it, it gets complicated and buggy fast. Also, my stereo is not close to my router. Is that a pr... | |
| A high-resolution revolution? Sounds good to me, if true. If Apple makes a high res server system that you just connect to your dac and play, high res time could finally be here. | |
| Mach2Music mini and Amarra : Huge disappointment Foster9, I think you will just have to be patient a while longer unless you're computer inclined. Server based audio still needs time to develop.I've been hearing that hi res downloads are almost here since the late 90s and they are still almost h... | |
| What is Jazz? Everyone has their own definition of Jazz. There is probably some overlap in all definitions of Jazz but no two people's definitions are the same. Jazz is a genre of music in which personalization and evolution are considered requirements of playi... | |
| Exemplar vs Modwright Oppo 95 Mods? Peter_s, Could you elaborate a little more? A stock Oppo was compared to which modder's version? 33% of how many people did not hear a difference? 2/3 of 2/3 is about 44%, so almost half preferred the stock version and 23% preferred the modded ver... | |
| Mach2Music mini and Amarra : Huge disappointment Pettyofficer, I don't want to get you riled up but there is more good music available on cd and lp right now than you could listen to in your lifetime, if you are willing to keep an open mind and explore different genres. This music will be availb... |
