Home Digital Drive

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

Re: Second the computer based approach

If you buy a player, you will find, that you have to clean the CD, put some mat on it, isolate it, add a powerconditioner or power cord. etc..basically all kinds of tweaks (sometime weird and difficult to understand why) will make a difference.
I got sick of these and went with a Squeezebox. Now the playback is as good as the Squeezebox only. No more tweaks. Basically, it is jitter that separates the digital world from the analog and computer based approach is the cheapest way to get very low jitter. You can get a modded Squeezebox for less than $1K or you can get a transporter for $1.7K.
Playing CDs is passe. Songs should be on a computer and we should be able to pick and choose easily and play it.
