Title: Using the Notebook CD Rom player as transport mechanism Post by: Ratme on December 09, 2010, 01:49:26 pm Hi,
I know foobar, I use it in Kernel Streaming with HiFace and external Harmony DAC. I'm not worrying with flac or wav files at the moment. But I cannot rip all my CD collection and I don't want buy an high grade CD transport mechanism, like Cyrus. What I don't understand is if it's possible to use notebook CD Rom player to play an Audio CD, without using EAC to rip it (in flac or wav) simply I put the Audio CD inside the notebook and it starts (eventually with a delay) acting as something like audiophile CD player. Since we con reach Audiophile level with foobar and files in wav and flac, why can't we do directly from the CD I can stand with some seconds of delay per track, no problem. I'don't understand exatly if xxHighEnd does this job. I'm talking about Audio CD and not about ripped files. Thanks Title: Re: Using the Notebook CD Rom player as transport mechanism Post by: PeterSt on December 09, 2010, 05:20:51 pm Hi there,
You are completely correct about your expectations, and it is just that it has not been made yet. I will be there though, in maybe not all that long time. In XXHighEnd especially (being a pure memory player) this should bring a near-good SQ as ripped files present. But thank you for your "hint" so to speak. :) Peter |
