| Music Servers VS Excellent Transports? Pubul57 - Ive invited Alex to bring his CD source to my room at THE Show in the past. He didn't show.Steve N.Empirical Audio | |
| Music Servers VS Excellent Transports? Askat1988 - a Digital source, whether it is a transport or WiFi source is the same exact data. The only thing left is the jitter. Both can be reduced to inaudible levels with reclocking. A shootout is unneccessary IMO.The differences come with imp... | |
| Music Servers VS Excellent Transports? Askat1988 - If you slave the Transporter from the DAC word-clock, then it should be as good as the transport slaved from the DAC, although it's a lot of money just to get a digital output from WiFi. It does evidently do 24/96, which is a plus. If ... | |
| Music Servers VS Excellent Transports? Walt - same here. I'm an old fart now, but I had inexpensive vinyl system when I was young. Sold all my records at garage sales. I've heard some really spectacular vinyl though I dont own one. I believe they have their own type of distortions, asi... | |
| Music Servers VS Excellent Transports? Walt - that sounds great. Digital is better than most people's experience, actually capable of surpassing the best in vinyl. Did you have vinyl before, or still? | |
| Music Servers VS Excellent Transports? Wshields - This is the type of solution that audiophiles should be looking for. Strategies like this (similar to my Pace-Car) are the best way to reduce jitter to inaudible levels.Unfortunately, the Transporter is a bit expensive and overkill just... | |
| Music Servers VS Excellent Transports? Essentialaudio - definitely stop in. We are fortunate every year that our sound improves and this year is no exception. A "must-hear".Steve N. | |
| Mac vs. PC differences to Airport Express? Juanitox - you dont have to trust me, although I wish you would.I rely mostly on posts on the forums - customer feedbacks for advertising. I sell all of my products word-of-mouth. No advertising to speak-of. My advertising budget for the year is a... | |
| Music Servers VS Excellent Transports? Essentialaudio - If you will be at CES or THE Show next month, I'll challenge you to a shootout. Bring your best Transport and then we will see...St. Tropez suite 1203Steve N.Empirical Audio | |
| Mac vs. PC differences to Airport Express? TomEdison - the Modded DAC-1 would probably be more smooth and listenable IMO.Most unmodded gear has sibilance as well as jitter. Eliminating the sibilance is probably more important than reducing the jitter. However, both are needed to achieve a ... | |
| Mac vs. PC differences to Airport Express? Kana13 - you've got to be joking right?This will never compete with a Pace-Car. I dont care how good the clock is. I also do a mod to the AE called the Off-Ramp Wi-Fi. Same thing as the French company, new clock, new power supply, new S/PDIF outpu... | |
| Mac vs. PC differences to Airport Express? The data stream from the AE is identical whether it is PC or MAC. The audio quality is the problem - very jittery. You can get decent "background music" with a glass Toslink, but that's all IMO. If you want to transform the AE into something world... | |
| Music Servers VS Excellent Transports? The simplest and least expensive way to get superb audio quality as well as great user interface - use your own computer, but add external boxes to get WiFi or networked interface and then reclock to get excellent sound quality.First, decide on th... | |
| Music Server vs. PC vs. Transport vs. ? Jpod - no, you must use slim-server. | |
| Music Server vs. PC vs. Transport vs. ? Chrisla - If you want to hear an amazing Sonos system, go to the St. Tropez (THE Show) suite 1203 when you are at CES.Steve N.Empirical Audio |
