wet blankets, CSNY and what a difference a DAC makes
Jim,One thing I will say from experience - DON'T CARE WHAT OTHERS SAY.Your experience is what it matters. I had similar experience very recently when auditioning different loudspeakers. One of the loudspeakers that folks generally say as sounding ... 
New CDP or standalone DAC...?
@tomcarr,I got the Oppo UDP-205 last month and really like what I am hearing. Is it the ultimate for CD playback? Nope. I am sure an outboard DAC or a stand-alone CDP can do better. But the idea is to get upgraded sound compared to my previous pla...

Hey David,How about you posting an impression of the Terminator? What DAC did the Terminator replace? Any comparisons? 
Anybody still using soft rubber isolation devices?

Dedicated Red Book CD player vs. "Universal" type players....
Congratulations on the new acquisition. Yes, I feel the same about the discs, compared to computer audio. Have fun, REDISCOVERING all your CD/SACDs. 
Clear Day cables vs. Morrow Audio Cables
@baxsc01,It is perfectly alright that you did not hear any difference. So what? Both the cables must have the same characteristics. I say, sell the higher priced one and buy more music. 
Oppo Vs Esoteric
@shadorne ,I was listening to Jennifer Warne's "The Well" SACD last night and it sounded so good. I have not heard it so musical and detailed, even with my older Marantz SA-8260, which is considered warm. 
Searching for the most "accurate" speaker (below 15K)
@vermeer ,Congratulations on the Paradigms. I had listened to these speakers about 2 months back. And that too is a really bad setting - huge glass window (1 piece) behind them. The speakers were also not set optimally with the right speaker near ... 
Need feedback on loudspeakers
Thanks @knownothing . 
Oppo Vs Esoteric
@gdhal ,I have 0% use for the Oppo as a video player. The Oppo is in a dedicated listening room without any video playback. In fact all the setups on the Oppo can be done via the app - so no video required. I have set up the Oppo for 2-channel lis... 
Oppo Vs Esoteric
So, I got my Oppo UDP-205 about 10 days back and been listening to it, when ever I get a chance. For the first few days, I let it "run in". Have probably about 120 hours on it. I find it strange - I find this player a bit too smooth, even from day... 
Proac D48R
@gdnrbob,Thank You sir.Good to know that you like ProAcs too. I found them musical at the demos I had. All I am hoping is that they would gel in my system. 
Proac D48R
Thanks kclone. Your feedback regarding room size and experience also played a role in my decision. 
Proac D48R
@cmach,I completely forgot about our discussion from 2 years back. Yes, you also auditioned the D48R. BTW what is your room size? You need to post some pictures of those D30R.Also, you are right. Clear Days are excellent cables. I will continue to...
