I think the truth is somewhere in the middle. I do not believe that PP2000 shall be treated as appliances. Purepower units are complex machinery and they have to be serviced only by Purepower technicians. I would never agree to have an external pers...

user="anthony"]My preferred source is a Phasure NOS1a G3 dac.
The thing has no discernible sound of it's own. It outputs 1.25VRMS SE
and I run it at -6dB because it needs a little attenuation to sound its best
which means 0.625VRMS. I d...

Well, it happened with me, one of my HH of my DAW, or as they call it “music server”, went down. It does not recognize by BIOS anymore, suck, it would be costly to recover data from there. Partially the most important f...

That is why what I refer to “transport” I refer to the very primary duty – to read an optical disk and the ability to create more advanced sound out of it. As a persons who am familiar with the best optical disk rea...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Oxric, I have no idea what your “literature” was all about. If the Item’s company does not name thier read-only DAWs as “transport” it would be no conversation at all. For sure the analog PS for PS that they do is very inte...

Found some interesting comments on an independent web site, Twogoodears.
I'll copy it, it is from 2009 with original lines from Arthur Salvatore and a comment from Stefano Bertocello - Twogoodears owner -, we will n...

[quote user="DHT4ME"]Well we know that Steinberg who created Wavelab is also behind ASIO. The Ottachan ASIO notes state that Wavelab was the sonic standard for compiling the plugin. It is possible to get very close to the Wavelab sonic standard...

Interesting, jessie
In my past I was trying to make my PC-based music server to act as CD transpire but whatever I did a dedicated CD transport sounded substantially better, in fact non contestably better. I used various software to read CDs, ...

Hi, SearcherOfBetterSound, welcome…
I like headphones a lot and being a software developer I been using them for years. I do not pursuit for “better” headphones then I have. In my past I did - was baying “better” headphones, was baying and building ...

Computer playback has no autobiographical value. CD, LP, tape etc have autobiographical value and sometime huge value. A location on HD has none of it. Computer playback has no unified standard and no reference in virtual world. If a person uses some...

Item, I agree that a digital transport only processes data (actually not processes but read would be more accurate definition but I do understand that reading implies a lot of processing) and delivers it to a converter but in real world in order ...

Regardless, I like technology and like the idea of having all music instantly accessible from around the house from one screen, especially via a remote screen like the iPhone/iTouch. From there it is easy to stream from one server different music si...

Low power set should not be a problem. The Unity was fine with SET amplifiers, so the Synergy should be no different, if not better. The Synergy horn is different than the original Unity horn. There are some very specific improvements in the Synergy ...

You are not exactly correct about Lynx. First of all my card had no DACs aboard it is just a digital I/O, channels re-mapper and the card’s software. Before I got the card I interviewed quite many technical people about t...

Well, I did hear some very positive result when people did not make CDs form glass copies (as the “big people” do) but actually burned them in the “regular” CD writers. How they did it I have no idea. Also, I have no idea what hardware/software...

I do not mean to be negative and criticize Romy, but he is wrong on surround sound. It is the implementation and not the concept which should cause vomiting, like with the vast majority of two track recording which are unlistenable. With the rig...

[quote user="scooter"]* Regarding playback, I misspoke in my original post of an "Audiophile music server." Upon further reflection, this is an oxymoron, if not a moronic phrase. I think it is highly unlikely that a dedicated audiophile CD player w...

It is shame that in 21 century we have such mediocre, not to say moronic, park of music servers.
Whoever does music servers t know stat a file server with uncompress 24-bit files is a phenomenal source of music. So, why we have not a lot of well-per...

While you cannot overcome the limitations of 44.1kHz, 16bit PCM audio
format by ripping from CD to .WAV, you can still find some benefit. For
one example, dirty or scratched (cat-chewed?) CDs can often be
recovered with error correction algorithms...
