Re: Most effective way to remove jitter

Re: Is someone still using compact discs
I listen to CDs a fair bit. Since the 80s I have been buying CDs with an eye to getting the best mastered ones. A great mastering really makes a difference!

Re: Review of the Alta Audio Hestia II loudspeakers with Infigo Electronics
Good questions!
1. We did not use the DAC/Pre because we need some analog inputs for the SACD player. I also wanted a line stage I was familiar with for judging the system.

Yes both Hans and Michael Levy are nice. In fact, this exact same gear was used at Axpona but with the addition of the DAC/Pre.

Matt, if you need a scientific explanation for everything then you are really going to limit your ability to put together a great system. Measurements simply are not capable of describing sound...

Re: Is MQA Fading Away?
It's way too early to pronounce MQA dead. Let's give it a few months to see if a buyer emerges.
It's not advocacy either. I am simply giving an honest opinion of sound improvements from the... -

Re: Is MQA Fading Away?
Seems like there are several possibilities:
1. MQA goes bankrupt because they cannot find a buyer.
2. A strategic buyer like Tidal or Apple or Spotify (maybe a label too?) emerges to capture... -

Too early to call it a failure. What if they find a buyer? Could be a return for investors.

I could have phrased it better but what I meant was a group of audiophiles that like to try new gear. As opposed to those with closed minds.

I upgraded the power supply on my Gigafoil v4 to a Weiss PSU 102. It’s very nice step up. But with the new model, you’re looking at $2000 before even investing in a SOTA linear power supply.
