Amir,You can try to connect Toslink cable to your MacBook headphone jack, if your model supports this. In my case, it made a huge difference vs the USB interface. And then you can compare it to Toslink output from your CEC. Unfortunately, different s...

Yes, but there are many female musicians in any orchestra, even soloists there aren't a few. Still, there is something different in conducting. But may be you are right, if we look at the general percentage of male/female in art, and considerin...

Mr. Norwitz tries to depart from one illusion going into other. I’m left unconvinced that his method “comparison by contrast” does lead us to accurate sound. More or less it sounds the same as improving the frequency range: more contrast leads to m...

Romy, I was picky about the word "generate", since it means that a playback creates some sort of semantics. I would say that a "serious playback" may open new possibilities for a listener to use a higher order semantics, but those semantics are...

Hi Romy, Have you ever heard any burned CD-R that wasn't disappointing on YOUR transport?  My impression is that all this "CD-R talk" is very dependent on particular CD transport used for playing. Certainly there are other factors like CD-R...
