| TRL 595-how good is it? If you guys are interested, and to make it fair, I can build one Pioneer 563a machine and send it to all TRL owners who want to hear it, regardless of which TRL modded unit they have. The only expense will be the shipping cost to send the Pioneer ... | |
| Why does Denon 3910 default to PCM for sacds? Tbg, yes, you will need to break in the DSD part of the DACs and other components on the DSD signal path. The Denon 3910 DACs feature Burr-Brown's best DSD to Analog conversion technology as seen in their DSD only top line DSD1700 DAC.The other th... | |
| APL 3910 owners, has anyone tried APL upsampler? Tvad, the Upsampler configuration was shortly updated after first released. Just two cusotmers have it the "wrong" way. I personally think that even with the fisrt version, it is still a benefit and some would enjoy the sound. I thought it is good... | |
| APL 3910 owners, has anyone tried APL upsampler? Boa2, you have 24 bit version, but yours upsamples from 44.1 to 88.2 which results in "softer" sound. Fplanner2000 has it with the new configuration which sounds much better and just expands the data word to 24 bit while keeping the sample rate th... | |
| APL 3910 owners, has anyone tried APL upsampler? Pardales, I am sure that Mike from Hot Rod Audio Mods can give a better explanation of why he decided on using my Master Clock. "They say that just replacing the 3910's clock with the APL clock is the biggest improvement that can be made to the 39... | |
| APL 3910 owners, has anyone tried APL upsampler? 711smilin, what can I say, you are right; I am not a businessman, just an engineer who is passionate about audio. I really wish that I can offer excellent customer service, but the work load is so HUGE and overwhelming that 5 am is a normal bedtim... | |
| APL 3910 owners, has anyone tried APL upsampler? So far I have just two people who listened to the Upsampler in A-B test with the original 44.1/16 version while playing CD. For all of those who decided to go with the Upsampler but are not interested in the Digital Input receiver, I will be able ... | |
| Universal DVD Players It will play PAL or NTSC. I don't think you can get SECAM.Regards,Alex | |
| Digital Direct SHOOTOUT Fatcataudio, this would be REALLY nice! I think we need two additions - the latest 2000/5000 Zanden combo and the upcoming APL Esoteric UX-1.Jayctoy, I think you really need to join the Audio Note DAC fan club as your 9000ES sounds a lot like it, ... | |
| Sony's best dedicated cdp before sacd... It was the CDP-XA7ES, but it is not as desirable as the CDP-X707ES and CDP-X779ES. The XA7ES has a really cheap and unreliable transport (built around $15 laser pick up) which is not even close to the one found in X707ES/779ES as used also in the ... | |
| SACD Player vs. CD Player in CD reproductions Elduende14, most (if not all) of today's SACD/CD/DVD-A players are not as good performers with regular CD because the signal level for CD (PCM) is much higher than SACD (DSD). In order to equalize the level difference, most players use Digital cir... | |
| TRL 595-how good is it? Lkdog, it is true, for now. It's very sad that Pioneer discontinued the 563a model, but you can always do a little research and find what people have to say about the APL modded version of it. It was $695 total.Regards,Alex | |
| TRL 595-how good is it? Lkdog, I am glad you're not offended at all!I would see your point about my "marketing methods" if I had a current product that costs $700, or if this thread was about the $35K Zanden combo.Enjoy the 595!Alex | |
| TRL 595-how good is it? Lkdog and other proud TRL595 owners, I am sorry if my previous post offended you! I never "attacked" the TRL 595 and I am sure it is a great value at $700 (as I mentioned before). What I have said is the truth about this machine, and the intension... | |
| TRL 595-how good is it? Maxxfell, the 595 is the cheapest possible CD/SACD player as intended by its manufacturer Sony Electronics. It incorporates All-in-one, cost effective Digital Signal Processor which has the Servo, CD and SACD processing built in. Although it is ... |
