Best 16/44 WAV Playback ?


Recommended Posts

Dont care for higher Sample Rates. Care for Pace Rythm Timing Imaging Analogue Musicality, Maximum Speed with Meat on the Bones.

 

Why no I2S standard ? Logitech / Sonus wake up![br]IMO low power devices, such as DAC shall have analogue volume control and battery power. Why buy into preamps, power conditioners and power chords these days ?

The AMR CD-77 (with USB input) is the most musical CDP/DAC I have encountered. It is getting very close to vinyl.?Try it.

Those are all subjective concepts which is why I think that any one of the good solutions discussed on this whole page will surely give you good sound. And for Maximum Speed with Meat on the Bones you might want to try listening to some speed metal.

and play it back on computer, very few CD "players" can equal what your hard drive delivers, assuming you CA system is up to snuff. I can't imagine why anyone would spend $$$$ for a CD player nowadays. I have three in the 2K and up range that can't compete with my Dell.

 

I have thousands of LPs, hundreds of CDs, and dozens of 24 bit downloads. I mostly listen to the downloads...
