Gord Posted November 6, 2009 Report Posted November 6, 2009 If I were to but the new Ayre DAC (with Wavelength tech.), what advatage does playing from my Apple hard drive (Apple Lossless) vs. a red book CD in a Marantz SA11S2 modified?
veloaudio Posted November 6, 2009 Report Posted November 6, 2009 16.47 percent. FTFY, you must have missed that the Marantz is modified.
feckn_eejit Posted November 6, 2009 Report Posted November 6, 2009 Fuck.... this barely merits the effort expended to type a witty response....... Guys, he asked what advantage, not how much of an improvement. The advantage is that it would sound a bit different and some people would prefer it, while others wouldn't. You may want some people to prefer it while you may want others not to. I for example that someone preferred my money to owning what is now my SFD-2 MkIII

Sherwood Posted November 6, 2009 Report Posted November 6, 2009 I tried to test, but I couldn't fit a USB stick full of ALAC files in my cd player without opening it. Edit: I made it fit. The CD player is way better. I'd go that route.

Dusty Chalk Posted November 6, 2009 Report Posted November 6, 2009 The good news is, you'll have a posse. The bad news is, you'll have trouble telling them apart.
aardvark baguette Posted November 6, 2009 Report Posted November 6, 2009 The tree has entered my hands, The sap has ascended my arms, The tree has grown in my breast- Downward, The branches grow out of me, like arms. Tree you are, Moss you are, You are violets with wind above them. A child - so high - you are, And all this is folly to the world.

FYI a first most like that around here is practically asking to be wickerman'd in something like this

NekoAudio Posted November 8, 2009 Report Posted November 8, 2009 Cover flow looks cooler and is faster than flipping through the CDs on your rack.Selling the Marantz will let you buy more music. Or feed your cat.Small children won't look at you funny for using words they've never heard of (e.g. "compact disc").It'll be okay to eat BBQ wings and switch albums without washing your hands.Drog, the music thief, won't have to spend 10 minutes carefully packing 250 CDs into a giant garbage bag.

mypasswordis Posted November 19, 2009 Report Posted November 19, 2009 It's what's on the inside that counts.
nattonrice Posted November 19, 2009 Report Posted November 19, 2009 And it's texture for pleasure. Yeah you really get to feel the pagan in you with that one.
