I have not listened to the amp - Audio Innovations Alto, as correctly mentioned by Macca here, but I have the Pure Sound A-8000 CD player and it does perform classical music magnificently. Hard rock...

Funny, minutes after the previous post I found the "classical music" amp. Its name is Audio Innovations Alto, here it is, read about it and marvel at it -...

Pure Sound A-8000 is a fantastic player for classical music, produced by audio designer and experimenter Guy Sargeant. Frankly, the Pure Sound A-8000 is not good for hard rock and similar material -...

Why sell Evo? Dissatisfied with what?

In my experience pre-amps are strange and capricious beasts. At one point in time I bought the much acclaimed Sony TA-E80ES - "neutral, transparent, dynamic, dead silent and built like a tank"...

Learned yesterday about the new product. Congratulations, Stan!

:mex:

I already PMed him with a request for a picture of the back panel. I have the Capella and two Asynch-1s - totally...

USB cables matter a lot in a well setup system in which the components, including cables, are more or less at the same level, with no component letting the system down. A system is as good as its...

I have no knowledge in physics or electrical engineering! But I like to read about HiFi/HiEnd, I love music and I have ears. And I have 40 years of experience in listening to different audio...

I managed to launch my Raspberry pi3. Yesterday I made it play music for some minutes through the Ubuntu. Before that I had problems with other software. Ubuntu fired up immediately - and now works...

Thanks a lot! Starting to explore.

Thanks to the people who replied to my post after I bought the pi3!
I launched it without much hassle. It is now connected to my 50-inch plasma TV through the HDMI port. I use it with a wireless...

Thank you, I hadn't noticed. I am starting the battle with this minute gadget in a day or two and will report the results. Hope not to have issues with the SD card. I have never had issues with SD...

I learned about the Raspberry pi computer here, in this forum, three weeks ago. Yesterday I popped into a Conrad store (in Germany) and came across the latest development, pi3. The shop assistant...

Very interesting! Another German gadget. Now I am asking myself - if to obtain higher SQ one can add such a filter, don't they actually incorporate filters in those USB interfaces that we know for...

Learned today about the Aqvox. Wonder if the iFi given here would bring about a serious improvement over the Aqvox. The idea is to use a Aqvox or a iFi to power up the USB of the old notebook + the...

M2Tech Evo Power Supply + M2Tech Evo Clock High End Word-Clock-Generator + M2Tech HiFace Evo 24Bit/192kHz USB-Interface (last one out close the door please), these three units costing about €1200,...

Yes, it makes sense to say that both statements can be simultaneously correct but it also stands to reason that if we, several people, are hearing from a PC via USB things like an additional voice,...

Stan, as you know, I liked very much your Asynch-1 and even ordered a second one - for my second PC. But I do disagree with you here. I have the M2Tech Hiface Evo One (now they offer "Evo Two") - the...

Some days ago while a disk was spinning in my PC drive, suddenly a blast was heard (bomb-like, on a smaller scale). Turned out that the dvd drive had burst the dvd disk into hundreds of smaller or...

I have a large experience with CD players and DACs, dating back to at least 1996, when I was in Edinburgh for a year and got infected with the persevering, and usually lifelong, audiophile disease -...

Thank you Grant, Mike! Grant, I had no idea what RPI was. Took the trouble to read all the 24 pages of the thread "New DAC board for my Pi: Audiophonics I-Sabre DAC ES9023". Interesting! Have there...

Thank you mikmas, drpetar, struth. Let me make my point in another way. Surely, burning a CD-R and writing onto hdd are different processes. But the result is the same: ones and zeros, whether the...

I have no problem with the first part (1). But the second part (2) is very interesting in terms of the assumption that "the [wav] files can be treated as any other files and can be copied (with...

OK, but what about the "long answer" to the question? Any negative effects on sound? Or possibility for such effects? Why do some or even many people think "exact copy" software should be used? I...

Merci, благодаря, thank you.
