FWIW Herman (and others), I suspect that MrT's search for a unique product, one with a tonal response that is an anethema to modern audiophile ears, is nothing more or less than the creation of a 'soap box' for him to stand on while he shouts for attention. I find it, alternatively, amusing and boring. :-)
problems with 24 bit cd players
i am searching for a cd player--preferably one with tubes.
i have auditioned a number of them and something is wrong. i perceive a dip in the 100 to 200hz region and a slight peak in the upper mids/lower treble region.
is it possible that one can buy a current production player which is 20 bit and no up sampling ?
i haven't found any, nor am i looking for a dac, although i am aware that there exists non-upsampling dacs.
