Here's a link to the coverage given to this story by the TAS http://www.avguide.com/blog/linn-products-announce-the-death-cd
While most of the high end audio publications provide coverage on music streaming devices and systems, often times with very positive reviews, their bread and butter still appears to be endless coverage of over priced CD/SACD players accompanied by fawning reviews. It's a good thing that quite a few well respected high end manufacturers (Linn, Meriden, Naim to name a few) can clearly see the writing on the wall and are acting proactively by offering either their own music streaming devices or DACs to work with existing music streaming devices. What I'm waiting for are high resolution (24bit 88.2 or 96 kHz) lossless files available for legal download and made directly from the original analog master tapes, not the digital masters originally created for making CDs. I would love to be able to A/B these hi-rez files played back using a Transporter with the original vinyl played back on my Linn LP12. -- ralphpnj Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels -> Snatch -> The Transporter -> Transporter 2 'Last.fm' (http://www.last.fm/user/jazzfann/) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ralphpnj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10827 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=71619 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
