I have a friend I am trying to convince that his hi-end CD player should not be better than a good computer based music source - and so far - the CD player wins bringing more dimensionality to the sound, whereas so far, the ripped equivalent sound flat in comparison.
Perhaps I am ripping them wrong, or using the wrong computer based source (we've even tried a SBT), however to this date - the CD player stomps all over my attempts (granted it is an expensive CD player - but nevertheless). I too have sat in and listened to his system - and have resigned to the fact that his CD player sounds better both as a player and a transport to an external DAC. This is why I suspected that there might be some truth in the article - and whereas a CD player is far less convenient than a ripped library of music - it's still the better sounding alternative by quite a margin. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ stop-spinning's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=43254 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97019 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
