It gives just enough of reverb sound to the mix, that is pleasant. It gives smooth liquid quality to it. The good thing about Foobar is that the sound is clearer. If your preamp already has that liquid quality, the Foobar will be more dynamic - if not, try the Yahoo.

You will end up with a great recording set up + a 24/96 spec play back capability. I have one, and I like it a lot. What an improvement over the stock soundcard in a laptop.

If you consider using your computer as the source, you will have less jitter problem, giving you a better sound than Cd players at your price point. The link on the bottom is a gear that has a pretty good tube headphone amp built in. It's also very convenient to be able to hear music from a...

I found the link to the place I've been searching for - it's pretty long, but it will reward

I haven't heard one yet, but according to my friend, Cowon is supposed to be the best sounding one, besides from the $450 Bang & Olufson one - and you gotta buy 1 gb memory seperately for $100 more ! Althgouh Creative Zen is supposed to have the best spec on noise/sound ratio, the amp section...

Burwen Bobcat is the software that claims it can make regular CDs sound like SACD, but it's pricy for a software - $199. You can google search for it. It's simple to experiment your-self. All you need is a Taiyo Yuden CDr, and burn it at the slowest speed allowed by your burner. Use EAC...

This is a tube one that also upconverts to 192/24. The sound becomes smoother with better highs. Many swear by tubes in digital source - they tame the digital-ness. http://cgi.ebay.com/MHZS-CD66-TOP-LO...QQcmdZViewItem The shipping is very high - be aware.

In fact, you can probably hear an improvement in sound with the placement of a heavy object on top of your Cd player. This sounds strange, but try it ! Also, if you can plug in your amp to a different electric outlet than the one used by the Cd player and the DAC, you will further improve the...

For those who believe, good can come from it - for those that don't, doesn't harm them. I would just say since it costs so little to experiment, why not give it a try - I think your ears will thank you, and your heart. It has smoother analogue- like heart warming sound - less digital-ish...

Perhaps the slow burning makes it easier for the laser to bounce back the info. There are many CD tweaks out there if you search for it. Some swear by chemical treatments - others buy a cutter that makes it nearer to a perfect circle, to avoid wobbling. I have a pretty upscale CD player, and...

So much negativity when I am just trying to share a tweak... Just give it a try and you will see... If you burn a CDr even with the CDr burner you have, on a Taiyo yuden CDr, you will hear an improvement. When you are burning, leave the computer alone, and it will sound better. Don't...

I thought crative Zen was supposed to be the best sounding mp3, but I liked the amp section of iRiver better. Some say Cowon sounds even better than iRiver. What is the best sounding mp3, now?

meant 96000 khz sampling rate, and 24 bits, instead of 192 kbps. If you try it, you will definitely hear a difference, and you will thank me then. It gives soul to digital, if you thought it was lacking it. If you have a program like protools, you can even go higher with the...

I meant 96000 khz sampling rate, and 24 bits, instead of 192 kbps. If you try it, you will definitely hear a difference, and you will thank me then. It gives soul to digital, if you thought it was lacking it. I am listening to a CD I burned now - when I compare it with the red CD I...

I am a musician and I fancy myself to have a pretty good ears - and I definitely hear a difference. The Europian philosophy of source as the most important factor makes sense now to me. If you don't want to try this tweak, don't ruin it for others by knocking it - I really believe this will...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Many think that LP still sounds better than digital. You should try this tweak to improve the sound of CDs. The CDs you buy are stamped in less than a second - if you burn it in your computer, it is done...

Many think that LP still sounds better than digital. You should try this tweak to improve the sound of CDs. The CDs you buy are stamped in less than a second - if you burn it in your computer, it is done slowely, and improves the sound. The window media player can upgrade the epec to 192...

Where on the web can I buy Bada ph12? Thanks in advance...

Do good preamps make good headphone amps as well, or are the dedicated headphone amps sound better? Which preamps are your favorite if they do sound good?

The spec on Zen is supposed to be the best - industry leader. Comes with upsampling software to 192. With headphones like Koss Ksr75, or Grado 60, this one sounds pretty smooth like an upscale audio piece, with the upsampling upgrade. Quite acceptable sound, if you ask me. Sanse got a...

These Yamaha speakers really sound good - they are not wimpy like most of the 2.1. http://www.amazon.com/Yamaha-YSTMS50.../dp/B00000JBHE They have exciting sound to them. I don't know where you can get them - might want to google search. If you want to get good sound from a Computer...

Not all music sound the best on any given headphones - and I do love Grados on female vocal, but on some acoustic instruments, they fail to capture the magic. Especially true on violin - sounds tiny, and lacks body to the sound. Many of the US and Japanese audio fail in this respect...

Is the sound improved ?

I would recommend Casio previa electric pianos - they have audiophile sound at under $1000. Since you are an audiophile, you need good sounding one. You can plug your good headphones into them, so you won't bother your neighbors. You can hook them up to a computer, and get software that...
