Not all the designers actually mention specific programs, but most seem to agree about the importance of the ripping and playback software.

A few months back a local audio guy advised me to use cPlay to pay files from my DAW. I installed it and was not too thrilled with it sound. Recently I updated to the new version:

First of all this post is NOT related to the recent PP2000 problems but it has a border, general view.
The recent LX’s posts made me to think about the PP2000 buttery. He reports that his buttery got way weaken from 2009. I used my older PP200...

Hi, Max.
When you say “WAV file X burned on CD-R” then the question would be what was the source of those files? If you have a row source with some kind of A/D and if you intend to stay with 44 then 44/20 is OK format, do not stay with for 16 Bit. H...

I have to admit that my first unsuccessful experiment with APS PurePower regenerator made me anxious like hell. In context of the none-loaded unit I’ve heard some results that I was searching for a long time. The APS claim that they have “fixed” it a...

The “best midrange comes from compression drivers”. I see somebody like Haralanov would be very much opposed to this comment. The irony is that I would be opposed as well to this comment. I would say that the best midrange at over 107dB sensitiv...

I don't see why you wouldn't just buy as many external firewire drives as you need, and simply daisy chain them together.
I have done this using the above-mentioned LaCie 1/2 TB drives, via FW800 (they will accept USB 2.0, and SATA as well)... Be...

Scott,This process has little if any effect upon harmonic distortion. Using a Liberty Audio test suite, it is possible to find some very minor trade off from odd order to even order distortion. But, if it is indeed occurring, it is so small as to b...

Romy,
I too was thinking the subject had evolved to the point where the thread needed splitting off.
I agree with you regarding the need to start off by constructing of a pair of “normal” Melquiades as a reference.
