  1. Lamp wire works well too.
  2. So apparently Oppo will have more 205s available for sale this summer. A friend who had been interested in one contacted the company after I had told him about Oppo's new situation, and that's what they told him.
  3. So Kevin, you gonna go the Fiio route?
  4. Wow, I did not know Oppo is pulling out. https://www.forbes.com/sites/johnarcher/2018/04/02/oppo-shock-popular-av-brand-announces-that-its-time-to-say-goodbye/#5cfd3c7f3acc This might be part of the reason why - Trump's tarriffs: https://wccftech.com/huawei-us-plans-preventing-other-chinese-players/amp/
  5. Not a big deal for me. The Emotiva is showing its age, and I may not get another cd player.
  6. Y'know, I don't believe my amp has a digital input. I'll have to check. Confirmed, no digital inputs.
  7. I am using XLR cables from the player to the amp.
  8. yes Well I already invested in the player, which is on its last legs. I'm using a Raspberry Pi with a HifiBerry DAC to play my jazz on the home stereo.
  9. I had the X3 and moved up to the X5II. Been throroughly enjoying it for the past year and a half; with two sd slots and a killer DAC that smokes my beloved Emotiva cd player. I take it to work with me daily. Gave my X3II to my dad -- loaded it up with 128GB of jazz and he never is lacking music.
  10. The seven disc set. And no, I don't find it frustrating. Not at all.
  11. Ordered from Amazon UK. Been enjoying a non jazz box set lately, The Fall Singles, which has turned out to be one of the best boxed sets I have ever heard.
  12.

  13. Got this last month. Heard 2/3 of it. Great reissue!
  14. I have had this as well as other Jazz Workshop sessions for years. Now I am seeing this, available on Amazon. This isn't your typical funky Black Byrd Blue Note session; this is Byrd and his band destroying the stage with a fire and brimstone performance unlike anything one would expect. The opening 30 minute track, Kwame, is worth buying the entire cd. Soundboard quality. Highly recommended!
  15. I'm late to this, but ordered. Haven't been buying much jazz in the past year.
  16. I'm still holding out for the 23 cd + dvd deluxe box set:
  17. This is my set up. The DAC smokes my Emotiva ERC player. https://www.hifiberry.com/
  18. I use a Raspberry Pi for streaming music.
  19. Wynton is not evil incarnate. It only seems like it most of the time.
  20. So this replaces part of the Dragon records 4 cd box?
  21. Some Nilva lps:
  22. Nicole Mitchell's Mandorla Awakening album is one of my top albums this year. Astonishing.
