Hi Jorge,Thanks for your quick response. I believe I came off a bit brash and apologize as that was not my intention. I edited my comments above a bit for clarity; I found the DCX quite useful at low frequencies. The DCX is not a perfect unit but I ...

Is it possible that there are better and worse sounding versions of iTunes?Since 2004 I've been using iTunes together with a Mac computer and the very addictive Wavelength Cosecant DAC as the main source "component" in a system consisting of horns dr...

Well, I would say this CES was very low on decent sound. Sometimes I had to fight with the urge to leave a room or two immediately after hearing a few bars of music being played.Still the hope is not lost. At a fringe show at the Flamingo hotel (THE ...

Hm, I do not share those sentiments. I do not use any servicers but rather I have in my player a few dozen of live streaming station. You can look at my thread: http://www.goodsoundclub.com/Forums/ShowPost.aspx?PageIndex=1&postID=7867#7867 and ...

I also like the convenience of playback via computer with ripped files. Theoretically, at least, and in my experience, if the cd is ripped properly, the sound quality is better than a cd player. The reason I think so is that no cd pl...

This is from BSO web site. I do not post link as they move it around. Go to BSO web site and find Digital Music link, or tab, or whatever... Here is from BSO web site:

I can't see what advantage one of these "music servers" might potentially offer over a small portable computer sitting on the hifi rack next to a couple large external hard drives and a good outboard DAC.
As for quality of sound : Such a laptop-dr...

Any computer does absolute the same level of universality by being a digital file player. My telephone does it but I do not call my telephone a “digital transport”. Ripping CD it is not what your devise does but the fr...

The problems with Smart Grids

The order does not matter if you have an accessible database. You can just randomly give them a catalog number and sort in the computer. It could also mean that you discover treasures that normally are not even on the radar. The degree of database ma...

Which is what i thought I had posted a few times before.I assume 14 watts of that is the inverter.Before I disconnected the computer and USB box it was 640 watts.I hope I am not completely misunderstanding what you are asking for but it is entirely p...

This is a signal cap?Regardless, I'll bet we all use either Blackgate or Elna Cerafine. I like the latter, most of the time, and they are OK on cathodes, if you must have a cap.Apart from the high-pitched "rushing" (if the circuit is prone to i...

I would certainly be the sort to frequent such a place as the Classical or Jazz Cafe.Regarding Mr. Hwang's implementation; even through the computer replay medium, I hear the quality of this horn implementation, and I'm inclined to believe it sounds ...

[quote user="steverino"] I'm not surprised at your disappointing results as I have experienced the same with a variety of power filtration or generating devices. Your surmise is correct that such devices work much more easily with AV equipment or com...

What is the reason for not building one's own? There is nothing special about computer power supplies, is there, one just has to provide DC with the correct parameters, no? You could run a motherboard off the Milq......

I still feel that computer CD readers are not good but I do it might not be ONLY their fault. Most of the today machines have CD-Rom that juts spin too fast and it is imposable to make a CD-Rom to read at 1x speed. There is many custom softwares that...

Oh I was thinking about FLAC, such as the ones from Linn Records, not raw WAVE files.

if ripping data is different to CD Transport streaming data then no audio files could sound better than CD Transport.I found no useful data to explain me why ripping by computer CD Rom could not get all stored data from CD!...

The data ripped to the hard disk is - absolutely precisely - the same as the data on the CD.It is not possible 'kill the quality of a CD' by creating a bit-for-bit exact copy of it elsewhere - any more than you can 'kill the quality of a photograph' ...

Considering the minute amount of energy "created" (transformed) in a phono cartridge, perhaps some systems would truly benefit from geophysical orientation. Heck, in the days of expensive picture tube computer monitors there was a different tube for ...

Hi Jessie, Thanks for reply. I am Mac based and am looking at the following idea for sending music from my computer to my audio system. The guy that builds it says that the sound is much better than he gets out of CD-playback, who knows. ...
