Network digital players--any good?
For basic internet radio type streaming I would look at the Apple TV. It's cheap and works extremely well (especially with iDevices) and should be good enough SQ for your wife's needs. For yourself, another path perhaps. You're right, the digital ... 
Redbook CD Is Not Dead
While I'm very much in the computer audio camp and enjoy the hires titles I've acquired, I find myself more than ever purchasing CDs. I no longer use a CDP, but rip to my external FW drive (love the convenience). My source is the Chord QuteHD, whi... 
Is there a Rosetta Stone for digital speak?
While iTunes sounds fine, many find sound quality improvements using players like Audirvana, Fidelia, JRMC, and Amarra. My personal favorite is Amarra Symphony w/iRC. Each program has a free trial you can take advantage. If you hear no difference ... 
Warm, Smooth yet Transparent Amp
Odyssey Audio builds some great amps in your price range. 
24/192 Big Improvement Over 24/96????
I agree the recording/mastering is the biggest factor. That said, I think what Chord Electronics has to say about hires is interesting .. 1st four paragraphs in particular:http://www.chordelectronics.co.uk/chord-dac-technology.asp 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
1st try? You must be joking ;-)As easy as the measurement process is I ended up doing several. In fact, each time I swap anything in/out of my system I feel the need to remeasure, realizing, of course, it's the room I'm measuring and not the gear.... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Thanks for sharing in detail Coot. Hopefully someone will have an idea or two for you. First, let me say that Ohm loudspeakers are certainly capable of presenting a solid and believable center image with wonderful depth and width to boot. Like any... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Thanks Coot. Glad to hear you got some benefit from iRC. Interesting that your SQ suffered above 200hz. I suppose that may help illustrate how well engineered the 5000s are. Bass around 100hz was giving me the most trouble and is much improved wit... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Hi guys .. not much happening on the thread lately so I thought I'd share.A while ago I decided to stop the madness and jump off the merry-go-round. Fortunately I have enough gear in storage to swap in/out when the mood strikes for something diffe... 
Best music player for MAC
I've been using Audirvana 1.5.5 since it was released and I concur. I think Damien has finally caught up to Amarra in musicality while presenting detail without fatigue. In previous versions I found all that detail simply irritating and couldn't l... 
What Product Did You Overspend On?
I spent $250 on a USB cable which sounds no different than my $2 Blue Jeans cable. 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Coot .. as I'm sure you are aware, the W4S amps have garnered much praise in their latest iteration. Just thinking out loud here but perhaps you should consider them as well in the future. The synergy offered by using products from the same compan... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Same here Coot :-) 
Speakers that do pianos really well
Thanks Marty. BTW, I like Christy. "Steppin'" is the only album of hers I own and I've never seen her live. Perhaps one day I'll have a chance to. 
Speakers that do pianos really well
Marty .. indeed, an excellent point. Just curious if you have a favorite(s) recording for auditioning?
