In Reply to: Magnetic/hard-drive vs. optical/CD: Who has made the switch? posted by Srajan Ebaen on October 30, 2005 at 08:10:47:
I went from a Musical Fidelity Nu-Vista 3D CDP to a “music server†consisting of a 3 gHz Pentium in an adjoining room connected via a hardwired Ethernet cable to a ROKU M1000 Soundbridge with it’s S/PDIF output connected to a Musical Fidelity Tri-Vista 21 DAC.I have two 250 gig hard drives in the pC- one strictly for music ripped via Itunes to uncompressed .wav files. ITunes runs the server and since the ROKU has a very nice display and remote control, I can select any of my 500 songs instantly.
I do not download music except to sample what I might be interested in via iTunes. If I like what I hear, I then buy the CD.
I did it for convenience, but I will say my computer / ROKU equipment setup easily rivals or surpasses the prior MF Nu-Vista setup.
Cost wise, it’s about half the price of a high quality CD player. I also avoid all the noise and USB concerns of a computer IN the listening room. I also believe the hardwired Ethernet connection to avoid any pitfalls of wireless throughput or connectivity.
