QUOTE(chchyong89 @ Mar 23 2009, 11:10 AM) 'using a pc for speaker source i think u will be missing a lot detail".... is it true? if yes i might gonna waste money again and get another player afterward...== Well I'm going to have to disagree with that, it's arguable that the quality of the transport from the PC is bad(toslink, coaxial USB), but a harddisk is just MUCH MUCH MORE stable in comparison to a CD player. I myself does not prefer using CD as a media, in those expensive CD player you're paying alot for the technology they spent on improving the stableness of the CD tray, laser head and motor etc. I think the money would be better spent on improving the DAC. Something like the iWadia or PS Audio's PerfectWave which both relies on Hardisk as the media. my RM0.02 |

QUOTE(sep90 @ Mar 24 2009, 12:47 AM) good point sieg i have to agree with u with that X2!!! i will agree with u about the storage and capacity of the harddrive and easy transfer of music files ... either lossless or wave files.. but note that somehow i not going to say that cdp is a MUST for any audiophiles in my case but most audiophiles prefer cds for hifi rigs ...cos cds is not as compressed as they r ripped out from cds to harddrive...whether u using accuraterip or any ripping program they will sound 80% to 90% of total of performance due to lousy coaxial or optical input from pcs...that y they r crazy bout cdp over 10k usd here which using rca,bnc or xlr to yur dac or amp.... tweaks for cdps like carbonmat for cds or demagnitezing the cds b4 playing or others funny tweaks ...that y they r prefer using cds for it....perfect audio source as they c not to bottleneck their perfect hi-fi system.... however i not as guillible as them and gonna spend myself over cds and waste my space over it i am a computeraudiophile i love listen to music when surfing on net not sit back on comfy sofa listening to cdp and keep changing cds each time lol And it's exactly what I'm doing now too |
