[QUOTE="Kemosabe, post: 332149, member: 3202"] Sheesh man these dice are loaded. I wouldnt say the mede8er is a bad or mediocre source .. If its good enough for jimgore as his main source its good nuff for me. Lets just say flac ripped from cd, piped to a decent dac (not inside an avr) KILLs a Rotel rcd1082 dead...its like a lion against a collie dog (look the Rotel is not the best player out there but its a decent enough player at that!) For better comparison please: 1. Rip poor old Norah to flac to an external hdd and plug it into your mede8er bu usb 2. Connect a dedicated dac with a decent optical or coax digital cable 3. Listen through ruthless and revealing speakers 4. Try a proper hi res downloaf from one of the online stores too Cd already has arguably too little res...you cant cant bring a mp3 or aac file to this contest. Even a half deaf senile old bugger can tell an mp3 from lossless at 20 paces after 3 scotch on the rocks. If you are going up against vinyl you have to bring your A game. [/QUOTE]
