Big source improvement using CD player

Yes I should have a little more specific, for the one that likes to turn things around to make himself look good. Transport "Clock Error" "Speed Error!! is what it measures, not Tracking Errors.
AT&T ST high speed glass fiber optical with indexing fluid helps reduce jitter, what’s with you!!!

And yes to those here, all three above are transport related errors and to how they sound, and why that slot loaded junk is not up to scratch, compared to a good transport. Cheers George

Georgehifi,


You are just digging A bigger and bigger hole. Jitter is not remotely the same as uncorrectable read errors. A buffered and reclocked CD player using a $20 mechanism will be near jitter free within the limits of the interconnect method which has nothing to do with the transport.


I don’t appreciate the constant attempts at personal attacks to cover up for your own lack of knowledge. Based on your own test it should be clear I am the real audiophile and you are not. You called me not a real audiophile based on my perceived lack of knowledge of a test that didn’t even exist. I knew what the tests actually was. Your test for an audiophile not mine.

You are applying 1980s and early 1990s CD architecture operation to newer CD players. As another has noted, where this all started, the Bryston reads into a buffer and reclocks. The mechanism is at that point meaningless to jitter. Your argument is akin to saying that jitter on a streamer must be huge because jitter over an internet connection is enormous. Obviously that is not the case.

I debated between getting another CD player when mine died and getting a Bluesound Vault. With good advice from a local audio store I went with the bluesound and never looked back. Loaded all my CD’s, buy them for $2 or so when I want something, can listen for hours with playlists. Don’t have to pay monthly for steaming or depend on network issues. Highly recommended.

. I didn't say it was, you are twisted!!!!!!!
From now on you are ignored!!

Ignore me all you want, but that doesn’t change that a buffered and reclocked output negates timing issue in a low cost transport not to mention the way that error correction does work, not the way you claimed it does negates almost all errors except on well scratched CDs.

I am sorry that you think accurate information is twisted.
