best sound for a classical and jazz cd
Ray Brown, Monty Alexander, Russell Malone (that's the title) on Telarc. SACD or CD. They both have great sound. I'll let you guess which sounds better. 
dts 5.1 fold down to stereo better than cd?
Thanks Kal. 
dts 5.1 fold down to stereo better than cd?
Thanks Theo. Kal, It is one of those that have the dts logo and 5.1 Music Disc in red across the top, front and back. The label according to Amazon is Digital Sound but is has a Capitol logo on the back. Amazon calls it a DVD-A but I don't see the... 
Earl Scruggs dies at 88
Earl was a musical giant and a humble man. His contributions to country music will never be forgotten. 
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.
