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...

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...

[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...

Well, I always noticed that 'universal' transports which spin the CD at 4x, 8x, 16x, 32x (faster each year) sound much muddier and grainier then the dedicated CD ones. Unfortunately nowadays there are hardly one or two commercially available OEM CD-t...

The new Oppo uses the ESS Sabre32 DAC chip, which seems to maintain fidelity in the face of much higher jitter compared with others...or at least so the comparison above shows....so it might be able to achieve decent performance with a relatively poo...

Dear Romy,Though not related to this topic much, but I want to know your opinion about discontinued DPA dacs. There is a chance for me to buya PDA 1024. For the moment I dont have a proper transport to test it and just use my digital radio's output. ...

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...

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 ...

the 47 labs progression dac uses just a few passive components after the multibit dac chip and with the flatfish transport produces excellant bass and rhythm.i think that results will vary depending on the individual dac chip architecture and how it ...

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...

A visitor of my site that I know personally just called me informing me that he was very impressed with placing his air-bearing CD transport on Silent Running Audio platform:

[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 ...

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...

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/...

[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 ...

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...

Stitch, I disagree with you. Any discussions might be endless, not only about digital, if there are no criteria for the purpose of the discussion. In this case we do have a purpose. For instance de Charlus is looking for a DAC for his transport, I w...

I think DP-777 sounds best when i turn off it's Jitter correction and i use bit Perfect I mode in 16bit 44.1khz mode.I think AMR DP-777 is very very good DAC but in my idea it is a-little bold sounding if i criticize tone.It sounds clear , very clear...
