There is not digital connection, only analog. This is what is written on Cambridge Audio page: Playback delayA 5 millisecond mute at the beginning of each track to avoid pops or thumps that can occur when a track is skipped or started, either due to artefacts on the CD or recording or...

At the end I decided to get this setup Ampli: Cambridge audio sr20 Cd: Cambridge audio CD 05 Speakers: b&w 685 s2 Turntable: pro-jet debut I am quite happy, but I have a major issue with the CD player: I have discovered that the Cambridge Audio Topaz CD5 (like its big brother CD10) adds a gap...

Well, this Maverick DAC seems interesting, but does not seem what I'm looking. But thanks again for the advice, I'll keep it in mind. Regarding the amplifier, I tested it at the shop and, to my ears, it sounded great with the b&w. More or less how they sounded when I tested them with a nad. But...

Uhm, I'm not sure I got what the maverick does. Should I pair it with an amply? The QAcustic active speakers seems nice, but it's not what I have in mind. I should buy a turntable and a CD player anyway. But, thanks for the ideas! Today I was proposed this alternative setup, what do you...

I also thought it was strange, as some hours before I tested the same speakers in another shop with an amply of the same power, only more expensive (it was a nad). I don't know if I have to consider other parameters when coupling speakers with amply. In case, let me know. I tried the q audio...

Strange thing happened. I've been in a shop and the assistant told me the ONKYO a9010 could not be paired with b&w 685 s2 because the amply is not enough powerful. Is that true? I find it really strange...

I'm currently living in the Netherlands and here the ONKYO comes with the coaxial output. I had the q speakers in my wish list, but I cannot find them in shops, so I could not make any test. So, amply seems ok, as well as the CD players. What about the turntable? Thanks

Hello everybody! I begin with... I'm no expert in hi-fi, but I'm fed up of listening to music through my laptop speakers. I had a good quality stereo lots of years ago, I would love to go back having a proper equipment. Unfortunately, I don't have a dedicated room where I can place the...

Hello there. I'm happy to have landed here after a lot of reading. I hope I can use your expertise.
