| PC-Audio vs. High-end CD Player-GAME OVER I heard the system at Mick's store. In fact, I just sold him all my LP's. We listened to the system for quite a while, Mick myself, and 2 of his friends. We were all blown away.David | |
| PC-Audio vs. High-end CD Player-GAME OVER No, you understood me the first time. There is still a place for CD's and CD players. But when hard-drive playback is this good, and this conveient, Cd's are on their way out. The only thing missing now is high resolution downloads, then CD's will... | |
| PC-Audio vs. High-end CD Player-GAME OVER Hi All, Just to clarify. Wavelength Audio makes several different USB DACs, designed to take the feed from a hard drive via a USB cable. The Cosecant is the middle range DAC and the Crimson is higher up the food chain. We weren't using an Ipod. We... | |
| Memory Player vs Dedicated PC-TopUSB Conv and DAC I think that a valid point is being raised. Not about Audiooracle as an individual, but about a lack of a dealer network. I would love to audition this player. Where is the Chicago area rep? Why do I have to wait for a shootout at some show, the r... | |
| What is new with the Memory Player? I think that there is tremendous interest in both systems, and in music servers in general. I find it frustrating that there is a lot of breast-beating, but no actual players to demo, either in our systems or at dealers. I'm interested in hearing ... | |
| What is new with the Memory Player? Me too.David | |
| What is new with the Memory Player? How is their DAC? Or, do you use another one , feeding it from the memory player? Also, is there a way to use a hard drive to load the songs to the MP? The reason I'm asking is that I am going to computer-based audio in some way shape or form, and... | |
| To Wavelngth USB DAC users: Best ripping/playback? Have you actually heard an AMR CD player to compare it to the Wavelength? I'm asking since that is a comparison that I am very interested in. Unfortunately, in Chicago, I can't hear either. The local Wavelength dealer is just now getting a Cosecan... | |
| Any experience with the new EMM CDSA SE ? I'd be more interested in this player if it had digital inputs.David | |
| AMR CD-77 Have you had a chance to try the USB interface off of a computer. To me, this is the greatest advantage to the AMR. With such an interface, the AMR won't end up being a doorstop in the near future. Of course, implemetation is everything, which is ... | |
| What is new with the Memory Player? How would the Memory Player interface with hard-drive based storage? I went to the website and did a Google search, but I had some trouble figuring that out.Thanks,David Shapiro | |
| APL Esoteric X-01 Hi Alex, I think the future is trying to get here. I believe that before long optical transports will be completely superceded by hard-drive based transport. OTOH, good dacs will be with us for a long time. I actually had this same conversation vi... | |
| APL Esoteric X-01 Hi, Does your APL accept digtal inputs? I'm now in the market for a really dood dac, but I still need a standalone player.Thanks,David Shapiro | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective I found out from my dealer that after CES, Teac will be upgrading X01's to the D2 status. I'll probably go for it.David | |
| What speakers work well with Boulder ?? I Have a Boulder 2060 Audio Research Ref3 combo. I have had Avalon Osiris, Dynaudio Temptations and now MBL 101e's. I'll make it short and sweet. They were outstanding with each speaker. The reasons for the changes had to do with the speakers, sin... |
