Elvis Presley's Albums - Recommendations needed
I can recommend one NOT to get. Having no Elvis whatsoever in my collection, I decided to buy the 2013 Sony K2HD re-release of "Love, Elvis" because that compilation (originally by BMG, 2004) has the best selection of tracks for my taste, and I fi... 
Where are the female Audiophiles?
Okay, I'll bite ... unless Hillary gets hit by a bus, I suspect the next president WILL be female. 
What do I need to set up digital music server?
Winggo, yes you are getting closer! Be advised though that you should not have all your digital audio files in only one place. Keeping two copies in two different places is highly recommended by everyone. When I use my laptop's internal CD drive t... 
help me "face the music"?
Since you and your partner reside in different locations but share one music collection, you may find a solution that incorporates network attached storage (NAS) to be very appealing. That way all of your music files can be readily accessed at any... 
What do I need to set up digital music server?
What you are after in "c" is not entirely clear, possibly because of how you have worded "c". I hope the following will help your understanding related to "c": 99% of the time CDs are "ripped" (thereby producing digital audio files from the tracks... 
Sony HAP-Z1ES Hi-Res Music Player RMAF 2013

Ideal way to set up the OPPO 105?
Marco1, I do wireless digital file playback via the OPPO 95. I find sound quality to be every bit as good as when playing the physical CD; however, the wireless connection does sometimes go south as Hgeifman says. Whether that is due to something ... 
Marantz CD6005,SA8004 or Oppo 105?
Yes, an ipad with Oppo's MediaControlHD app installed can control usb thumb drive connected to a 105. 
does this sound like a wise tradeoff
Wouldn't the best way to answer your question be to buy a 105 and try it? Oppo offers a 30 day money back guarantee. 
noob DAC question
If you are interested in getting into digital audio file playback, the Computer Audiophile website is an excellent educational resource for getting started. Given your interest in digital audio file playback, the 840c is NOT what you want. In your... 
noob DAC question
By definition a CD Player always incorporates a DAC. If there is no DAC, then such a component would not be a CD Player, rather, it would be a CD Transport. In other words, CD Player = CD Transport + DAC. Given CD source material, one needs a DAC ... 
Cognitive Dissonance Theory – What Do You Think?
Mrtennis ...cognitive dissonance entails making an excuse that might be socially acceptable, when you wish you had not taken the action in the first placeI suppose anyone might create a socially acceptable justification to try to excuse stupid beh...

Classe SSP 600 for preamp? only 2 channels
Hi Grant. An older amp may not have all the same types of audio inputs to match all the various types of audio outputs on a new digital pre/pro; however, any amp regardless of age should have RCA type analog audio inputs that you can connect to th...
