Wisnon, Computers have been using buffers/cache forever to improve performance. This is true in both hardware and software.
From Lamp Web Site:
"Perfect, 100% accurate data is fed to RAM buffer and just (FIFO) - sent out to DAC according to external precision clock."
Lukaz recognizes the benefits processing from RAM so just can't imagine there is no mod to the stock SB FIFO RAM buffer.
From Lamp Web Site:
Once again - how can a "stupid" computer modem sound better than reputable real CD transport ? Computers are supposed to be BAD.This is what I've been saying for years but Lukaz has the numbers to support it.
I will try to explain how I see it:
Just imagine: It thakes 70 minutes for the Philips CDM2-Pro mechanism to read all data from CD disk. The same amount of data is read by DVD drive in 2 minutes. Blue Ray reads it in half minute. Hard drive reads it in 4 seconds. RAM buffer reads it in less than a second. MY LampizatOr Transport plays from own FIFO RAM Buffer.
The Data from CD must be read by a laser, which constantly needs to adjust focus, servo adjusts linear speed of motor, and track tracking. The data is demodulated from laser waves, and missing bits or errors are interpolated and corrected. Vibrations make reading difficult.
The HDD Lampizator Transport player needs nothing of that. Perfect, 100% accurate data is fed to RAM buffer and just (FIFO) - sent out to DAC according to external precision clock.
This scenario is 100 x more simple, errofr free and accurate. I am surprized that CD players play anything at all ;-)
