[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I do not know what you are trying to do, why do you need the Lynx card, why is need to be modified and what does it mean “powered individually”, the people looks like sell power supply and they push the notion of individual...

[quote user="oxric"] By analogy, an Item Audio equipped with an optional blu-ray drive would serve precisely this function. It would spin a disc, extract the data and code it so that it is available for the next stage in the chain. [/quote]

For me the issue you take with the appellation of the Item Audio Transport is one purely of semantics. For the record, you say it is not a ‘cd transport.’ Well, the company does not make such a claim. They describe it as a digital transport, use...

[quote user="scooter"]* Regarding playback, I misspoke in my original post of an "Audiophile music server." Upon further reflection, this is an oxymoron, if not a moronic phrase. I think it is highly unlikely that a dedicated audiophile CD player w...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Well, there was also an interesting positive moment during this trip. The guy has three of more D/As. It was Audio Research played model 3, the newest DCS and newest Meitner’s EMM transport/DAC. The first two were quite ord...

Part of the reason we call our computers 'transports' is to encourage people to think of the number-crunching part of an audio system in the same already familiar terms as a CD player - because all the same things matter: CD transports vary according...

Oxric, I have no idea what your “literature” was all about. If the Item’s company does not name thier read-only DAWs as “transport” it would be no conversation at all. For sure the analog PS for PS that they do is very interesting thing and very much...

[quote user="item"] For future reference, in case anyone else is as confused as I am about the content of this thread; from the horse's mouth: the Item DAT1 could just about be considered a 'DAW' (the SPDIF version records analog, and you can run...

Oh I was thinking about FLAC, such as the ones from Linn Records, not raw WAVE files.

[quote user="el`Ol"]Pacific Microsonics are filter kings, but if the Lavry is the best hardware, wouldn´t it be nice to let it play the CDs, too?[/quote]I did, the TL0 transport reads CD with so much more quality that any further experiments with DAC...

[quote user="xandcg"]I read a interview with Peter Qvortrup (AN UK) a week or two ago (but that was older) were he talk about his theory of why a CD + Good Transport sound better than a audio file from a hard drive (with the same resolution at le...

I need to say that I did not do any experiments with any commercial audio equipment for a looooong time. Partially I have no needs as I do not buy anything and partially I have no interest. It is not that I have anything against commercial audio ...

As you know currently there are two opposite camps regarding digital sound reproduction: one is the non oversampling filterless camp, the other is the over- and upsampling + filter camp. There are as many followers of the NO as the over- and upsampli...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] In my case, the CD transport (which is no slouch) is soundly beaten. Apart from using it to make the occasional comparison, I have not touched the CD transport since unpacking the DAC.[/quote]
Jessie, I see an inconsiste...

I can not convince myself that "Transport reads data as apple and CD rom reads data as orange". if I have seen this claim in another forum then I could not believe it .we know EAC and dbpoweramp and other secure audio cd ripping softwares have CRC co...

I think the comparison of usb and spdif is usually, although we don't seem to acknowledge it, actually means computer/usb, cd transport/spdif. In which case, in my experience, the latter seems to win out. Even implementing the wasapi or asio there ...

Dear de charlus,I think AMR CD77 is a valid candidate for you. I haven't heard this CD player but I own AMR PH77 phono which is special. Romy knows it's designer very well you can ask his idea also.Regards,Armen...

Yes Romy, this is exactly my finding. Take an a to d transfer, vinyl rip, if you will, and listen to it on the computer via usb to dac. Then, take the same, preferably wav file, transfer it to disc and listen on cd transport. My experience is fil...

Srajan have mentioned at his News Page (the only resource worth reading at his site) that a new CEC TL1N transport and CEC DX1N DAC become available, well available in civilized countries like Poland not in the countries were the fucked up distributo...

Digital: “Binary data”Trans: “across, beyond, to the other side”-Port: “transferring or carrying”You'll note the conspicuous absence of reference to 'spinning disks'. By strict definition, a digital transport only processes data and delivers it to a ...

I have been looking forward to build my own dedicated passively cooled, Windows based source, with external power supplies and SSD drive, based on an HFX Classic case, or even better, the HFX Mini Metal, sometime towards the summer of next year. See ...

Is anyone familiar with this CEC transport? The page says it sells for $3000. I assume it is a Euro model only.http://hifipig.com/review-cec-tl5-belt-drive-cd-transport/...

A while back (I thought) I was having trouble with my Accustic Arts Drive 1 CD transport. It was skipping and messing up on CDs I wanted to hear. Since I normally listen to LPs, it took me a while to dedicate the time and pay attention to exactly how...

I wonder if the inappropriate settings for 2 channel audio somehow might have affected your experiments with it as a transport in your main audio only system? I was curious about your experiment as I do need a transport to play the odd cd. One thing ...

Well, I finally found and implemented a digital front end that I can live with. I have been so cynical about digital up to now that I have kept and used an old, cheap Sony player (albeit one actually made in Japan...) because up to now it seeme...
