Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

RE: I like CDs

Hi,

I liked them since I got a Pioneer "Legato Link" DAC Equipped DVD Player, that played CD's in effect as Data disks (async) read and liked them even better when I made my first non-oversampling DAC (read a much earlier version of the same concept your DAC implements) using stacked TDA1543, which was like '98 or so...

I found switching to suitable software for playback (back then Winamp with Ochtan ASIO Plugin and an Asio Cable soundboard with SPDIF out) and ripping all my CD's to a Media Centre PC I had build primarily for TV/Movie use had no negative impact on sound quality. Moving from SPDIF to USB was the next step up.

Never bothered with seedee's ever since, except to rip.

At 20 bits, you are on the verge of dynamic range covering fly-farts-at-20-feet to intolerable pain. Really, what more could we need?
