It's good stuff, that device is a bit out-of-hand price wise.

All CD players/transports must do buffering to some extent – it's a required part of pulling the raw bits off the disc and decoding it to data bits. A Walkman CD may buffer several seconds of data to maintain uninterrupted playback while the player is jostled about.Just my 2 cents. But let's assume ripping to a lossless file and playing the file is better than a cd transport. Could you not simply have the cd transport (or whatever it would then be called) rip lossless to an internal buffer and play that file from buffer to DAC?

For me, the technical argument is that I have thousands of CDs and I don't want to take the time to rip them.
We listen to the entire CD from beginning to end, without skipping tracks, and we LIKE IT!How do you guys reorder, skip tracks and make playlists with your favorite tracks on a CD transport? Another disadvantage of it is that you are stuck with whatever is on a single CD until you change it. I know, skipping tracks and playing them out of order is possible but cumbersome and takes time. Maybe skip a single CD player and go with a CD changer at once?
OUOUOUCH! I have always said that bikes are unsafe on crowded city streets. Get well soon.Fractured both elbows yesterday en route to work by bike (see my twitter for pics, lol), and got four stitches in my chin to boot, so probably not doing much hifi for the time being. Looking like I will make it to Amsterdam in late June though...
Bicycles are very dangerous---get a motorcycle. I never had a bike as a kid, and learned to ride a motorcycle in my mid twenties. After riding a BMW for 5 years or so, I got on a bicycle and damn near killed myself trying to learn to ride it. Good music, however, aids the healing process. Be careful.Fractured both elbows yesterday en route to work by bike (see my twitter for pics, lol), and got four stitches in my chin to boot, so probably not doing much hifi for the time being.

Now, get off my lawn!

99% of the music I listen to is best consumed as if it were one long track. Most progressive rock/metal albums have a theme and a story. Sure, you could listen to Welcome To The Machine all by itself, but it's so much better when it comes in its place during the whole of Wish You Were Here.
