Well I attended an audo presentation that was comparing CD's via the CH precision system, streaming and files downloaded to a computer. All the masters were the same. This was a top end system from CH Precison 10 and the new Innours NAZARE streamer. The CD was the best sounding of the three. There you go.

Quote: “ I am heavy consumer of both vinyl and cds. My streamer gathers dust. Sort of a flat earther type I guess.” Just wondering - have you ripped your CDs so you can stream them? Or is your streaming dependent on buying external streaming subscriptions? I can understand why you’d prefer to play your own CDs if your streaming is confined to subscriptions services, but not if you’ve ripped them. i did rip my entire CD collection of 2000 CDs and have quite a nice set of equipment which makes for good sound when streaming them and I don’t think I’ve played a CD since except to compare the SQ between my ripped and streamed CDs with those played through my Triode CD player. I can hear no difference.

@echolane to answer your question, yes I have ripped maybe 2000 cds and as you say they sound fine. Unfortunately I keep wanting to look back at the meta data so wind up pulling out the discs anyway to read the notes. Ergo, most of the time I might as well just spin the discs. So I have given up on that idea. @mark200mph Would you comment on your 10XD vs. your SACD-10? |
The marantz is a bargain compared to luxman d 10x.you can read the reviews on both. If you want good quality at reasonable price it's a used marantz.some had issues with the laser but I have not and there are discussions on where to find them. The reviews do a much better job than I can. They say the luxman is more mellow than esoteric. I have a luxman tube cd ?380 and like it but not sacd. I do like the spinners. The marantz has 2 filters as well. Enjoy the education and the hunt. |
