| Which CD Players do not require a Pre Amp ? There are some outstanding dacs with volume control....however, if you must step backward and get a cdp, then the EAR Acute is pretty nice. | |
| IMac digital out help One more thing: Don't buy adapters of any kind. The VDH is glass optical as well, so it truly is a great sounding cable. | |
| IMac digital out help When I first got my Mac Mini I used a mini-toslink cable from Van Den Hul. Conventional toslink on the dac end and mini-toslink on the Mac end. Sounded wonderful. I've since moved to firewire, but the VDH is still wonderful. | |
| Best Late Night Low Volume Speaker I just sold a pair of Zu Essence and the first thing I noticed going to my new pair was that they don't have that EFFORTLESS sound that the Essence's had. Retrieval of low-level detail was astonishing with the Essence and I think that is what make... | |
| The CD player is dead....... Pettyofficer: Where do you get your acid, and how do I get some? | |
| DAC to match $2-3K CD player Big surprise coming from D'boy......A $5,000 dac will SMOKE a $2-3K player going from a transport or, here's another one.....a hard drive. To the OP: Is $2-3K really what you consider on par with a source feeding a $5,000 dac? What dacs have you h... | |
| The CD player is dead....... Petty: "The computer was never really designed for music storage". Who cares if the computer wasn't originally DESIGNED for music storage. Who cares if the computer industry is "in complete denial that high end even exists". You ask, "why do you s... | |
| The CD player is dead....... Kijanki: Typewriters? Thanks for proving my point for me. | |
| The CD player is dead....... I was a couple of martinis in when I wrote that last part. | |
| The CD player is dead....... Ahhh. A nicer change of mood to this thread thanks to Oakleys. A much welcomed respite. You guys were getting so serious. | |
| The CD player is dead....... Apparently Oakleys' computer has some sort of Pratt and Whitney aircraft propeller as a fan. You've got to be kidding me. I'm standing directly in front of my Mac as music is playing (with preamp muted), and I can BARLEY hear anything. My listenin... | |
| Melody Gardot in concert she's in Seattle 6/19 I had the pleasure of hearing her perform live twice, both times in Philadelphia. I agree with the OP. Both concerts had different arrangement from her studio albums. I love when an artist shows creativity like that. | |
| The CD player is dead....... Maybe this is the way I should have asked the question: If you had no digital source of any kind and had X amount of dollars to spend, what would you buy: a cd player or a computer/dac? Going by your responses, I guess most of you will still buy a... | |
| The CD player is dead....... Oakleys: Relax. I wasn't out to bash anyone. I WAS SIMPLY ASKING SOMEONE TO EXPLAIN THE BENEFITS OF A CDP.....FOR THE TENTH TIME. By the way...my friend has the MSB modified ipod with ilink. All his music is in the ipod going to his MSB Platinum S... | |
| The CD player is dead....... Liz: I too am a "computer moron". I had no problems or issues whatsoever setting up my computer as a server. If you have half a brain cell, it's really not that difficult. |
