I can not convince myself that "Transport reads data as apple and CD rom reads data as orange". if I have seen this claim in another forum then I could not believe it .we know EAC and dbpoweramp and other secure audio cd ripping softwares have CRC co...

I think the comparison of usb and spdif is usually, although we don't seem to acknowledge it, actually means computer/usb, cd transport/spdif. In which case, in my experience, the latter seems to win out. Even implementing the wasapi or asio there ...

Yes, the enclosure something like this, thanks for tip, miab, but it opens a door for desire more. A good box with fanless operation, 1920 x 1200 pixels touch-screen, 6 hard-drives, remoter control, $650 price tag is...

[quote user="Jorge"] Anyway a couple of months ago a friend brought over a modded Denon multiplayer, I dont remember the model (I could look it up), it was highly modded, we were testing it with a projector and its Blue Ray capabilities, he then i...

I had been using Aurios roller bearings under my Cd transport for a long time, Every time I changed a transport I would immediately put them under, and they always helped: Untill I got the Forsell transport. When I first brought it into my listening...

A while back (I thought) I was having trouble with my Accustic Arts Drive 1 CD transport. It was skipping and messing up on CDs I wanted to hear. Since I normally listen to LPs, it took me a while to dedicate the time and pay attention to exactly how...

Item, you are not getting the point that ripping implied the initial read of CD by CD-ROM drive and their possess looks like kills the quality of the file you made on your “super PC”. If you imply that your PC plays a file that was not made from the ...

[quote user="TonyB"]How about expanding the D-War and comparing the CEC transport and a PC feeding the Bidat? It should not be that difficult to rip a few CD's onto a PC. I would LOVE to hear the comparison. Using a PC would have a few advantages if ...

I read a good feedback about it at Amazon, that all that I know about it. http://www.amazon.com/Musical-Fidelity-V-LINK-SPDIF-Converter/dp/B004PH03GU So, what you do, you play your PC CDR to the V-LINK’s own driver and then feed an external DAC? A...

I juts was pointed out today that PS audio has some interesting ideas out. The transport: http://www.psaudio.com/ps/products/description/perfectwave-transport?cat=audio“…. can read WAV files directly off a DVD … “That is good, can it read the .AIFF, ...

Item, regardless if you use CD mechanism to read files in real-time or if you rip files leisurely, with 84 times of read the same spot and to verify the data consistency, the result is very much the same: Sound the I was able to get from computer dr...

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 ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Well, there was also an interesting positive moment during this trip. The guy has three of more D/As. It was Audio Research played model 3, the newest DCS and newest Meitner’s EMM transport/DAC. The first two were quite ord...

I wonder if the inappropriate settings for 2 channel audio somehow might have affected your experiments with it as a transport in your main audio only system? I was curious about your experiment as I do need a transport to play the odd cd. One thing ...

Romy: you found your CD transport sounded better than a CD-ROM drive, is that right? That seems reasonable. But you've not stated what computer the CD-ROM drive was attached to . . .In an audio computer, the CD-ROM drive is really, really irrelevant:...

Srajan have mentioned at his News Page (the only resource worth reading at his site) that a new CEC TL1N transport and CEC DX1N DAC become available, well available in civilized countries like Poland not in the countries were the fucked up distributo...

As few days back my CEC TL0 MKII got broken. It severally mistracks and as it slides out of the optical grove it never goes back, creating horrible sound. The problem is pretty much even-distributed across the whole CD surface. It started on a fe...

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...

Of course we need a definition of "better" before we can say it's better, and I suppose you have that, but it seems to me it is rather a matter of "good enough", whatever that turns out to be. The urge to make a sonic change for its own sake is somet...

Well, I think the in this inquiry would be the use of CEC TLOX transport. If you do putting together a system from the ground up then it is arguable if it makes sense to commit yourself with CEC TLOX. This transport is from the last century and i...

[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...

It is very good that PS Audio when to the direction they went but I think those designs need to mature and the requirements for the transports like this need to be refined. I think is a year it will be more transports like this and the competition w...

Yes Romy, this is exactly my finding. Take an a to d transfer, vinyl rip, if you will, and listen to it on the computer via usb to dac. Then, take the same, preferably wav file, transfer it to disc and listen on cd transport. My experience is fil...
