| For those who "sold" Dynaudio Evidence speakers I had a pair of temptations for 2 years, and I really liked them. They performed as everybody so far has described. They love powerful SS amps. I have a combo of Boulder 2060 and an ARC Ref3 pre, which worked very well. I upgraded to MBL 101e's, w... | |
| PC-Audio vs. High-end CD Player-GAME OVER Gordan Rankin recommends having 2 firewire hard-drives, with one acting as backup. The control can also be with a remote that comes with the Mac mini, or Imac, if you use one of those as your control computer. Itunes can act as your archival/contr... | |
| PC-Audio vs. High-end CD Player-GAME OVER Yes, I had a nice collection. But, life being what it is, i never listened to them. I know that Mick will enjoy them far more than I will.David | |
| PC-Audio vs. High-end CD Player-GAME OVER I heard the system at Mick's store. In fact, I just sold him all my LP's. We listened to the system for quite a while, Mick myself, and 2 of his friends. We were all blown away.David | |
| PC-Audio vs. High-end CD Player-GAME OVER No, you understood me the first time. There is still a place for CD's and CD players. But when hard-drive playback is this good, and this conveient, Cd's are on their way out. The only thing missing now is high resolution downloads, then CD's will... | |
| PC-Audio vs. High-end CD Player-GAME OVER Hi All, Just to clarify. Wavelength Audio makes several different USB DACs, designed to take the feed from a hard drive via a USB cable. The Cosecant is the middle range DAC and the Crimson is higher up the food chain. We weren't using an Ipod. We... | |
| Memory Player vs Dedicated PC-TopUSB Conv and DAC I think that a valid point is being raised. Not about Audiooracle as an individual, but about a lack of a dealer network. I would love to audition this player. Where is the Chicago area rep? Why do I have to wait for a shootout at some show, the r... | |
| What is new with the Memory Player? I think that there is tremendous interest in both systems, and in music servers in general. I find it frustrating that there is a lot of breast-beating, but no actual players to demo, either in our systems or at dealers. I'm interested in hearing ... | |
| What is new with the Memory Player? Me too.David | |
| What is new with the Memory Player? How is their DAC? Or, do you use another one , feeding it from the memory player? Also, is there a way to use a hard drive to load the songs to the MP? The reason I'm asking is that I am going to computer-based audio in some way shape or form, and... | |
| To Wavelngth USB DAC users: Best ripping/playback? Have you actually heard an AMR CD player to compare it to the Wavelength? I'm asking since that is a comparison that I am very interested in. Unfortunately, in Chicago, I can't hear either. The local Wavelength dealer is just now getting a Cosecan... | |
| Any experience with the new EMM CDSA SE ? I'd be more interested in this player if it had digital inputs.David | |
| AMR CD-77 Have you had a chance to try the USB interface off of a computer. To me, this is the greatest advantage to the AMR. With such an interface, the AMR won't end up being a doorstop in the near future. Of course, implemetation is everything, which is ... | |
| What is new with the Memory Player? How would the Memory Player interface with hard-drive based storage? I went to the website and did a Google search, but I had some trouble figuring that out.Thanks,David Shapiro | |
| APL Esoteric X-01 Hi Alex, I think the future is trying to get here. I believe that before long optical transports will be completely superceded by hard-drive based transport. OTOH, good dacs will be with us for a long time. I actually had this same conversation vi... |
