Hi Romy and Company:
My CD player has seen better days so I did some research and though you might be interested in my experience with the "Music server" concept. Punchline: fun, sounds great and is very convenient!
You can create your own aud...

Hi all.We are small company, dedicated to creation of highest quality audio products. Analog and Digital. We have auditioned many music servers on the market.However most of them do not sound as good as good quality 16Bits cd transport. The approach ...

Why are you so aggressive?Te specs on web site are most generic on purpose.We do not want the competition to copy our design before we applied for patents and protected our IP.If you'd like to know more details, call us and we will try to explain to ...

I was asked a few days ago what I think about Zandèn new CD player and I replied that I do not think about it.
Truly, those companies produce new models each 18 month to initiate new rounds of cash extraction from clueless, deaf and blind audi...

Hi Clark,There are two things that come to mind on this thread:1) the combination of Rock and Roll and Martin Logan2) the lack of reading anything at this site before postingIt as not although it is hard to figure out what GSC is all about. 10 minute...

Hi,I'm thinking to put up a PC to just play audio files (I'm not interesting in any kind of recording).From the previous discussions it seems that a good digital interface can be Lynx AES 16.My first question is about quality. Considering...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I might be not “getting” what you are doing but it looks to
me that it is not near close to “CEC TL0X vs Berkeley Alpha”. The Berkeley
Alpha is just an interface to get stream of DAW but CEC TL0X is digital transport. We...

Oh that forgotten pleasure… I am not spoiled with audio experiments nowadays. Partially because I do not have a lot of drive and have reached a definitive return in my possible audio experiments. Another partial preseason is that I kind of able to pr...

Romy,Well, in the course of a weekend I typically listen to a lot of music, but there are a few favorite CDs that I like to use when trying to evaluate things:Piano Music of Chopin, Brahms & Prokofiev, Lincoln Mayorga, Sheffield Lab SL505The Lein...

[quote user="guy sergeant"] It may be asking too much to expect the LF horn to play well up to and beyond 250Hz. [/quote] I would expect this horn to go much lower, let say doe to 150Hz. You if it was a front firing horn without loading to a boundary...

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...

Ok, now see why the French cars, all of those Peugeots, Citroens and Renaults, are as bad as they are: because Jessie instead of working is listening his headphones. The media to play at work: would it be hard drive of CD player is irrelevant. I do p...

I do not have any special animosity against DSD beside that fact that it is a fundamentally compromised format to be “final” format. My presumption that I might comply one day with a need to buy a SACD player comes from the fact that the industry in...

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...

Hi Romy,I miss-understood. I did not realize you were able to play my file in "natural 96K". Since I am not able to play your file in "natural 88.2" I needed to make another recording before I can really compare yours to mine since my CD player ups...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]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.[/quote] Agreed.[quote user="Romy the Cat"]... there are zillion valuabl...

Hi,[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Regardless the rest. I clack that I used was Audiocom Superclock that most like is good clock.[/quote] It likely is. I still use an earlier version of it in my main CD-Player, actually an extremely hacked up early g...

Mine arrived too. Many thanks Romy. Unfortunately, my TEAC CD Player is very fussy about some CDR's and won't recognise them. It has turned its nose up at this! It can sometimes be persuaded, we'll see. In the meantime I'll be trying the music on a l...

Actually in whole this story there is an interesting element. The video quality that Oppo delivers is very good. I have a good semi-pro 12 old DVD player of about $800 and Oppo clearly much better. I perhaps do not have to sophisticated video and I a...

Romy says "Oppo is very
good video player. Still, it looks like it’s advantage in video are
not projected to 16Bit CD reading. Perhaps Serge was correct and reading
CD and reading the DVDs/BlueRays
are totally different...

Oliver, I am sorry nut I am not following what are you trying to do: to play CD layer of a SACD of Media Player So, it is nothing challenging here. BTW, be advised that the CD layers of SACD are notoriously dreadful. I presume that the industry‘s dir...
