problems with 24 bit cd players

hi tvad:

you are technically correct about the components of the audio note. i tend to get imprecise. i am looking for a non upsampling less than 24 bit cd player.

i have been looking into the paradisea dac. it may or may not be appropriate. i am not sure about how transport sensitive it is as well as the extent to which the dac is affected by changes in digital cable. anyway, it is good to have a second digital source.

the reason i am not looking for a cd2 is its age and the chance that the transport , i.e., laser will need replacement. my player is showing signs of wear and has tracking problems

It's easy and inexpesnive to replace a laser -- even the whole transport mechanism if necessary. I assume you've considered this -- but just in case? You really don't need to change the whole product...

Do my other posts not show up? Why do you keep saying that? That statement makes no sense. If it is non upsampling and non oversampling IT IS 16 BITS !!!!!! Period. end of story. If it has more than 16 bits it is doing some type of sampling to create the extra bits.

AAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH

OK, I feel better now.

Now, now, Herman:)

hi herman:

hi herman, you are railing against redundancy. it would have been suffiecient to say:

i am looking for an 18 or 16 bit player. i apologize for unnecessary words.
