Hi all,
I am looking at getting some equipment for my dad. He wants to have a digital source; he said something like a portable music player with uncompressed music, but I'm wondering if there is any easier or cheaper way to accomplish this. If it matters, he has an old British Fidelity A100 amplifier and two DCM TF500 speakers. I myself am pretty new to the audiophile scene and welcome any suggestions you may have.
I read thru the topical section in the Quality... article from 1995, as well as countless Measurements sections in Stereophile CDP or D/A reviews old and new.
I don't understand:
(a) how Stereophile derives bit depth from Spectral Analysis?
(b) why bit depth/resolution is randomly reported in Measurements (i.e., reported in review of a particular CD Player or D/A processor and not a particular CD Player or D/A processor in another review)?
I have some old video's of party's and family events. These often have a lot of very bad sound in addition to the conversations I am interested in. Is there a CSI like audio program that could separate out the conversations I want from the music and background noise that makes the thing a sonic mess??
On a related question/issue...I was watching a CSI again last night and once again they used a crappy surveillance video to find a car in the crime. They goosed the video to make the fuzzy license plate clear...does such video enhancement program exist??
I have had the same system for the last ten years. I have only upgraded speakers and amp. Currentlly I have A NAD Amp driving Thiel speakers. As time has gone by all my music has been migrated to an itunes libray. My current MAC is an 27 inch IMAC. I run all my music through the Aux input of the BEO 9000. My problem is that I have to have the BEO repaired again and I feel it is time to replace this as it will be the third or fourth time under the knife and it is acting as though the power supply is bad.
