Using WAV, you'd need about 80 gigs for 200 CD's. I've been told that some of these lossless codecs take about half as much space. If that's true, then you'd need 40 Gigs for 200 CD's.
Music from hard drive better than CD?
Hi folks, I'm considering to buy a MacIntosh G5 for using it as a source in a high quality audio system. Will the Mac outperform the best CD-transport/DAC combo's simply by getting rid of jitter? It surely will be a far less costlier investment than a top transport/DAC combo from let's say Wadia or DCS, hehe. What is your opinion?

Thanks Rsbeck. RAM Electronicssells all kinds of convertors to go either direction. If you are just buying a single-purpose digital convertor they're pretty inexpensive should you want to try your EMM labs. Multi-use converters like M-Audio's CO2 and CO3 are more expensive but can convert to almost any cable. Check them out. Marco |
How about "the ultimate one box system". 1. CD/DVD/SACD transport. 2. Hard disc to store the music, with playback immediately (no jitter), or later. 3. Video screen for index of library, and control. 4. Digital Power amp. and maybe AM/FM/XM radio tuner. Add speakers of your choice. Look for Bose to do it. |
