[quote user="Maarten"] I will compare them, and I will also rip both the normal CD's and the SHM ones, to see if they are identical at the bit level. [/quote]
Maarten,
I am afraid that bit level comparing would be absolutely worthless exercise, sim...

[quote user="el`Ol"]Sorry for being so nasty, Romy,but I meant connecting the CEC TLO with the Lavry 924 via the dCS 974.[/quote]
I do not see you being nasty, where did you get this from?
May I ask you- what you proposed to drive CEC TLO into dCS ...

[quote user="item"] If you want to spin a CD during playback, for nostalgic reasons, then a CD player is fine. The only reason to do so, however, is to extract stored data. Computers have better ways to do this that don't invoke all the mechanica...

It seem a market test for that type of recording. They probably will launch a few more "luxurious" limited editions to cover everything they spent and guarantee some profit before lower the cost, and if they find out that fashion could be profitable ...

Before announcing Lavry complete failure against Bidat when Lavry was driven by a CD transport I have to make a very important comment: in my case the transport was not a regular transport but the CEC-TL0, a know son of a digital bitch.
I know quit...

Don't you have one which you could use as a transport to asses your DPA dac and make up your mind for yourself? (it may happen that you'll like cheap DVD player better sounding by itself) 90% of cretins who own Bidat do it only because Romy prizes...

Oddly it might be the DAC section for which an Oppo player, though a later one, might be worth trying. If this...http://www.esstech.com/PDF/es9008%20dac%20comparison_SPDIF_96000_compA_compb.pdf...is to be believed then the sound of the thing ought to...

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 ...

Thanks, Bernie, I am not familiar with anything Apple, so pardon my ignorance. So, the remote is some kind of available off the shelf devise the runs Weiss commuter remotely. It is nice that Denial Weiss made it as transport as well as a full pla...

Stitch, wohnen Sie nicht in Deutschland? Have you ruled out Accustic Arts? They are rare here but should be easy to find in Germany. Anyway, I can't speak for the DACs, but the transport is a well-thought-out and made, un-fussy unit with a very ni...

Sounds like your non-cable digital experience is similar to mine. My own transport is "1st generation", non-oversampling for a targeted reason, as is my DAC.Back to cable:I'd bet that many people would regard the Synapse cable as a "simple solut...

When I come to listen somebody’s system then the first thing that I usually do is taking a possession of remote control explaining that I‘m a control freak and gently smiling…. In reality the thing are far from being so simple. The very first thing I...

[quote user="jtavan"] I would be interested to hear your reaction to the same CD ripped properly on a CD-ROM drive rather than recorded from SPDIF stream. If your transport is VERY good, they should be equivalent... but on damaged discs, or with bad ...

It is good that a largest CD manufacturer have declared that CDs are dead – now perhaps it is a good time for the industry to learn how to make decently sounding CDs. It is ironic how much nose the stupid industry created about the inferiority of 16/...

In my case, it has nothing to do with convenience, and believe it or not, everything to do with quality.Shrink-to-fit, badly-mastered recordings... These are the cards we've been dealt. Ripping CDs is the sort of ritual I hate. I nevertheless spend c...

T,
it is highly possible that you are correct but it was exactly the point of my in initial post - the people worship the clock upgrades but 99% of then just throw in the new clocks, or do exactly what I did. Considering that 100% of them clai...

It seems that brainlessness knows no limits. Both Mr. Hansen and Mr. Rankin speak nonsense. Wasting time on text like this is like reading the brochures from extreme audio equipment. All the things that "audiophiles" expect so...

[quote user="SearcherOfBetterSound"]Why is Acoustic Solid so interesting to me? Well, it should be to most when you read stuff like a $1,600 Black Wood Classic model can beat out a $5,500 Super Scoutmaster model from VPI, and a $4,000 ...

So I thought my tuner weren't properly adjusted. It has not been serviced nor recently aligned, I have no proficient technicians around who I depend to let them put their hands into the tuner. The damn thing always picked up Bidat's and CEC...

It sound like the Emmlabs I heard before. A few things. I am not familiar with Marantz CD5004 but I am pretty sure that it is not TL0, in fact nothing most likely is. If you use TL0 then it will be very different result as TL0 push a LOT of more out ...

I understand the rational to get TL0, even though I would not do it as now if I start fresh. The perspective that I am trying to bring is kind of DAC related, If you get TLO and would go for “ultimate” DAC for that transport then you might discover ...
