| new updates in transports or are they obsolete ? Semi wrote:"Can you suggest some hardwares & softwares to setup a computer base audio system?"You will need a laptop or a quiet tower with USB2.0, at least 2.0GHz Pentium. I would recommend the Off-Ramp Turbo USB to S/PDIF coax converter to a ... | |
| new updates in transports or are they obsolete ? RCprince - I dont think it was me that said anything about "delicate" anything. The CDROM or DVDROM drive reads the data into the computer to be stored on the Yamaha hard disk. That's all. You should not be trying to use your CD player to read dat... | |

| How come there is no thread on the RealityCheck? Based upon the rewritten CD's that I have tried, I believe it is just jitter in the pits of the original. If the data is transferred to a computer hard disk and then rewritten by a burner with a precision low-jitter clock and clean power, such as ... | |

Onhwy61 wrote:"He doesn't explain why storing the data on a hard drive degrades the sound which leads to question along the line of whether just storing the data in a memory buffer also degrades the sound?"This makes no sense to me either. Copies ... | |

"will hard drive playback capture the transports "delicate" sonic signature"Absolutely, but with even more clarity.- will play back on a pc be better coming coming off the hard drive after transferred since there is suppoose to less jitter ?Playba... | |
| new updates in transports or are they obsolete ? Semi - I just leave my laptop on all the time. It has power saving modes for the CPU and screen. Just touch the touch pad and you are up and running playing songs. Much quicker than turning on a CD player and loading a CD, and I dont have to get u... | |
| new updates in transports or are they obsolete ? Kana - I have been using a heavily modded Sony DVP-S7700 with the same DAC. It performs better than anything stock, including CEC, which I also mod. | |
| Audiophile USB to PCM Edsilva - have you had much trouble with pops and ticks with ASIO and Foobar?Is it the ASIO .dll or ASIO4ALL? | |
| new updates in transports or are they obsolete ? Mikesinger - every show that I exhibit at (CES and RMAF) has my demo of computer audio versus Transport (modded, including Superclock3) and everyone that listens to this A/B hear the improvement with computer driven audio.Pros and cons:Pros:1) no ... | |
| Audiophile USB to PCM Edsilva - I found the Edirol UA-25 to be fairly good, but great after I modded it. I only used the Edirol in "advanced" mode to output 24/96, which uses a custom driver on the PC rather than the windows driver, which is terrible. If the Wavetermin... | |
| Audiophile USB to PCM Kfreichen - the modded Transit is a product that I sell. It has a modified Superclock3, improved power, including Black Gates and the Toslink is replaced with coax output. I chose the Transit because it has some of the best drivers, does not requi... |
