What is an audiophile CD player?

[M Gregg]

Question: Why is Arcam using the Wolfson DACs now instead of the dCS Ring DAC?

Ask the makers of Ipod..

Owners of ipods...
Quote..Of all the iPods that use the wolfson chips, the 5th generation iPods appear to be the best, followed by the 4th Generation iPods.
Even in digital it now seems that vintage is better (sometimes)

The iPods I like the best seem to be those that use the Audio chips from the Scottish company Wolfson.

LMAO the audiophile "New age"

Technical explanations would be a waste of time - the target demographic is purest cargo-cult and has money burning holes in its collective pockets. Market bifurcation is a fascinating show to watch...😛

Is that a squid in yer pocket?

squid = quid successfully escaping from your pockets

The sad thing is that all this mumbo jumbo distracts from what is really important in sound reproduction!
Note there are no technical explanations, or none that I can find, but some 6 moons revues (a guarantee that alien physics is involved.)

I love the way they don't step on eachother's turf, partners in crime...

Of course the question is, do I still need to use something like the Shakti Stones, Quantum Physics' Noise Disrupter, or even the RGC-24? Well… according to Jerry, the Pulse Gen ZX only works on what is going on on the inside, so the other three can address then what is going on on the outside. After all there is a boatload of RFI/EMI flying around in the free air …something has to clean that up too! Oh, and you still need to clean the AC!

Would that be a (near) superconducting quantum ignoramus detector?

You watch your tongue there sonny, unless yer looking for a good anal probing! Aliens ain't got nuthin to do with that shite.

Has anyone seen a non-rave review of anything on 6moons ?

I once met a terminal case audiophile who put some special cream of his own formulation on his ear lobes cause "it sounded better"...

(the guy was mostly deaf, put the volume on the TV on full blast to hear the news)

...they pre-select the product (read, get well paid) for each review, so no need for negative one

I rub mine with Oil of Ophidia. Only after that can I hear the differences between power cables 😉

 

[infinia]

I would concede that a 100 squid BluRay name your brand player sounds better than any of the exotic CD player from the 90's.

 

[adason]

I got pioneer dv-300 (yes, the one of goldmund days of scam fame) for $36 on ebay...it beats Cambridge Audio 640 (which I like a lot) and comes very close to my "audiophile" JungSon (which I like even better, but I bought it for 50x the Pioneer), that sucks!

Re Daft Punk, I am likely the only guy on the the planet who had never hear of them. Listened to a few of their cuts and I can see why they have been so popular, but I remain more of a Jazz/classic/folk fan. Born in the 50's..

50's here as well. . ..And Classical, Jazz, Blues, World, New Age, Folk music is mainly part of my music repertoire.

Daft Punk is just for fun; their music is used by DJs, and on film soundtracks.
I don't mind some Electronica music once in a while. ...Alternative.
...Good stuff for your woofers and with some drugs.

 

[NorthStar]

I was born in the 50s and love Daft Punk.. lol I have not yet heard their latest album. I'll pick up a copy at Son et Image in Montreal next month.. 😀

Good man!

"What is an audiophile CD player?"

...it has to have a look, like this for instance:

I like it, what is it?

 

[NorthStar]

Tetchy🙂
Do they do $50K music servers?

Not yet, but it's coming. ...Hold on to your hat.

 

[jacco vermeulen]

what is it?

Pathos, Italian brand, retails for 9 grand.

(5 of those, with $5k change, for 1 ripping Burmester doesn't sound all that bad)
