DannyboyNYC Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 This may have been brought to everyone's attention but just in case... http://www.positive-feedback.com/Issue41/ca_intro.htm Interesting perspectives. What's even more interesting is the divergences in approach and the contradictions. Link to comment
The Computer Audiophile Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Hi DannyboyNYC - Yeah, this was an interesting article. I was actually sent these questions and asked to respond for the article, but I just didn't have the time. I needed to focus on you guys here on Computer Audiophile first and foremost :~) Founder of Audiophile Style | My Audio Systems Link to comment

tfarney Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Sadly, no. Tim I confess. I\'m an audiophool. Link to comment
IamKirk Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Decent article. Some of the questions probably weren't the best given the person's work affiliation. Some of the people were overly confident in their ways/designs but I suppose they have to be. A few were fanatics (shakti stones guy lol). Some didn't even bother answering, or just kept repeating one point. One of them even got a shot in at Ashley lol. It was mostly people discussing jitter and usb cables, which doesn't seem to have one real answer. Link to comment
ted_b Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 FYI..I posted about this article last month. I must have posted it in a more obscure area cuz you're getting better responses... http://www.computeraudiophile.com/node/1476 It's a classic case of an industry in its infancy...divergent ideas, but at least lots of them! These divergent ideas, however, scare off the general potenetial consumer/buyer (i.e non early adopter) due to lack of standards. it's as divergent as "use highly specific cryogenically-treated silent pc" vs "use any ole damn thing you want..the DAC is the issue"...and many in-between. I vote that somewhere in between wins. "We're all bozos on this bus"....F.T.

audioengr Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Notice how many of the responders feel that jitter is #1 problem with digital. Also notice the comments about flaws in the audio stacks and rippers. Finally, notice that I didn't mention anything about my products in my answers. Steve N. Link to comment
