| All in one CD/DVD/Blue Ray player. Any exist? Rhljazz:The review in the December TAS is of the Oppo BDP-83, not the BDP-83SE. Also, Oppo sells the BDP-83SE direct for $899 with a 30 day return-full refund policy. http://www.oppodigital.com/blu-ray-bdp-83SE/ | |

| New FedEx Ground and USPS Arrangement Krell_man, I think Fed Ex remains responsible to the shipper for any damage that occurs in transit. The shipper's contract is with Fed Ex, not the USPS. The USPS is only acting as an agent of Fed Ex., which remains liable. Fed Ex may be able to co... | |
| TRL 595 Discussion Died Years Ago Shake 777I see that you are a recent member of Audiogon, and your question from yesterday suggests youre not familiar with the way auctions go on this site. I myself am not that familiar with the auction process on Audiogon because I do almost al... | |
| USB DACs with 24/192 via USB Jim,There are two problems in posting a link to the TAS article on USB DACs. First, the article appears in the current issue of TAS, and the magazine's website does not include content from its current issue. Second, I believe TAS posts only revie... | |

| $5000 universal player ... am I a fool ? Small point, Timtim, but you said your Arcam FMJ 36 used the DCS Ring DAC. I believe the last Arcam CD player to use the Ring DAC was the FMJ-23. The immediate successor, the FMJ 33, and the next model, the FMJ 36, used chips made by Wolfson. | |
| Multichannel SACD with computer as transport? What a timely thread. I was just thinking about whether an SACD can be ripped to a computer hard drive and then replayed through an SACD player.Metralla. Assume for a minute that an SACD disc was not copy protected. Strictly as a digital technolog... | |

| No escrow? Pendejo,I work in real estate, and I asked the same question (to myself) about the use of escrow when I first thought about buying on Audiogon. Escrow protects both parties in the purchase and sale of real property, so why not audio equipment? How... | |
| Any insight with the Berkeley Alpha DAC ..?? Update to my last post. Just read some other computer audio threads that suggest that the designation "USB DAC" refers to the way digital information moves from the computer to an external DAC, not any extra conversion that takes place in the DAC.... | |
| Any insight with the Berkeley Alpha DAC ..?? Steve,Thanks for your response to my question. I haven't been back to this thread for a few days, but if your still around maybe you can clarify something for me.You said:There is no direct S/PDIF from a computer.I take that to mean that you canno... | |
| Any insight with the Berkeley Alpha DAC ..?? I'm not technically knowledgeable about computer audio, so I'd like some help understanding why Reference Recordings recommends the use of a sound card in the playback equipment (BTW, I own a number of RR CDs and am glad it is back in business).Fr... | |
| What is equal to the Rega Apollo for less money? I haven't heard the Apollo or any of the current Cambridge Audio models, but I'll chime in on the Music Hall. I bought the original 25, almost new and pretty heavily modified, a little over 3 years ago. I listen at least 3-4 hours a week, sometime... |
