Teach an Old Dog New Tricks
I’m a hard core vinyl guy looking for guidance/advice to enter the digital world. (TNT, Lyra Skala, ARC PH5) My sole piece of digital gear is an Ayre C5xeMP (replaced my ARC CD2 that finally gave up the ghost).
I acknowledge there is music I can’t hear/purchase unless its digital. (Have a sizable library of CDs) I also like the idea of streaming digital radio and having access of my CD’s from a server. Finally, I get that digital puts out pretty good sound these days.
So what do I purchase? Looking at features, I really want something along the lines of some version of the Naim Audio Unti Server. It rips, stores and broadcasts (server function in my lexicon), single box solution, and right price bracket. Only problem is it doesn’t have analog outputs so I can run directly from it to my preamp (ARC LS25).
What are your suggestions…help this old dog learn a few new tricks.
Consider also,ripping all your CD’s using a Notebook or PC or MAC or Bluesound vault and connect a Aurender Music player/server to your system (also includes Conductor app, #1 for ease of use and best control over music files) for a real upgrade and something that would sound as good or better than your vinyl rig! http://www.aurender.com/page/a10 Matt M |
