Will computer to DAC replace transports and cdp's?

Remember computer transports aren't limited to 16/44, spin at a much higher speed than cd transports, don't loose any data (computers can't afford to loose data), don't have to have a correction circut to guess what is correct.
They are like stereo's in the fact different power supplys offer different sound . Some control the bass better , some have better midrange etc. You can download a ton of free things, like upsamplers etc.
I have owned a Levinson 37, a CEC tl,a Sony 777, an Ayre d1x and now the Audiomeca Mepisto . I think the computer, with the off ramp turbo may be better in my system. Hope this helps

This is very subjective.

High tech equipment replacing low tech equipment ?
The question goes back to why some people prefer LP sound than CD sound ?
Why some people prefer analog amp as compared to digtal amp ?

Its all come back to demand & supply.

In any of the music u listened to, the source play a very important part.

My thinking is that if a cd burned to a hard drive will be a bit for bit copy because of the software programs used to rip music files, then the cd will surely offer a better sound than your burned cd.

The purpose of any recording is to make the cd sound as real as the original which cd is still trying very hard to achieve.

By burning a cd might add some colourity to the sound.

Just my thought.

This is at the core of the RealityCheck CD burner controversy. Burning copies would indeed seem to vary the sound of the original, with the resulting sound being affected by the brand of burner/drive, brand/quality of blank discs, andd other factors.

I don't think it is at all the same as Vinyl Vs. CD, just my opinion, Vinyl is superior in general cause the recordings can sound more natural than Digital period. Especially if done well and on a playback system worthy of it, Now with digital Transfer from storage Vs. spinning a CD is a whole different thing, cause its nature from either have nothing to do with analog sound like a Turntable. Fact is the further you can advance digital transfer the better it will be, regardless if people want to believe its impossible for a 400.00 dollar computer storing the INfo cannot sound as good as a 12,000 Transport transfering it in real time. I think it is very possible for a hard drive or storage based whatever we are talking about here to have less errors than a real time disc spinning, as long as the info is stored correctly in the first place.

The benefit that this thing offered is that u can burned all your flavourite songs as a form of library in the hard drive.

I think things are getting more high tech just like mp3 players. Its getting more & more convinent.
Who knows this will be the future.

But I still stand at my own word that nothing sound better than the original. Talking about SACD, DVD-A. They are almost dead.

System trying to make the sound better, more musical but its full of colouration.
Is that the sound that u like ?
Yes, maybe to the newer generation of people.
