There's a load of options out there and the majority will obviously vouch for a computer based device such as the Jkenny MKIII or his latest DAC, a Squeezebox Touch modded, etc.other offerings. But then we have the ole stable platters/cd transports.
Has anyone ever compared a Jkenny MKIII to a modded SBT and if not, can say in theory, which should be superior? By modded SBT, I'm referring to all the mods Soundcheck and others have done, as well as possible clocks, and so on and so forth.
OR....can someone tell me what they have used as a reference computer/digital based setup and how it compares to either Jkenny's MKIII or the modified SBT?
Lastly, what about standalone CD drives, with super stable platters, either found in standalone cdps/dvd players/or just plain standalone no frills, no nothing but a super nice stable cd drive.
I know the majority will rule out the cd player, but to those that still seem to get superior sound, and by superior, I mean night/day better sound from these types...have you spent your days/years of computer audio to only fall back to the good ole however ancient or new cdp transport?
Thanks for all contributions!!!
