If big office space at sarili lang ang room plus would not mind used items, here is what I have in mind.


In my case, sariling room, but sadly, not so big. I'm actually considering getting headphones instead of speakers, because I won't be able to use the set up much during office hours. Maybe not worth the expense to get nice, expensive speakers.

master, aside from sacd,hdcd,cd player...my bdp 95 can play directly flac files thru usb. yung lang, your oppo 105d can be both a network streaming player and a multi input high resolution DAC complete with async usb at may bonus pang darbee!ikaw na at wala ng iba! nasan na yung bdp95 mo?

Mga Sir, sa ganitong setup (2.1), anong okay para sa more movie watching than sa little music listening?

Not sure kung okay ito pero eto yung nsa isip kong balak kong e-setup:

1) Audio engine N22
2) Audio engine A5+
3) Sub - wharfedale
4) USB DAC - Kailangan ko pa ba? anong okay na medyo hindi ganun ka-mahal? (may nakita ako sa amazon na behringer na brand)

Tnx,
Christian

kung kukuha ka ng Audioengine N22, Audioengine P4 (passive speaker) na lang kunin mo instead of the A5+. sa DAC, I highly recommend the Musiland Monitor 01 USB DAC. ;)

this is my problem actually, so many albums to organize...

can I rip my CDs directly from foobar? can the album cover be automatically downloaded and saved?

sorry so many questions, if there's a Foobar thread please lead me to it.

thanks!

You can rip cds in Foobar. You have to install the flac codec plugin first. Last time a tried it, that wasn't included. After that, Foobar puts it in a folder. It uses a musics scraper to find cd info online.

While Foobar sounds better marginally than iTunes, I find the latter easier to use. But you save in mp3 or Apple Lossless. It doesn't support flac.

Brader, so EAC pa din pala ang pang rip ninyo, I also used that pero not for some years na din eh. Straight to FLAC na ba? Dati kasi puro WAV files lang extract ko for burning, gusto ko sana build ng archive ko sa laptop.

Same dilemma with iTunes bro, kaya yun isang archive ko puro AAC. I would like to rebuild using FLAC. Or am I missing a new way of doing it?

laptop running linux + DeadBeef ---> USB Dac with tone controls(bass/treble/volume) ---> Class D power amp or DIY Gainclone ---> Fullrange Speaker.


future plan : waiting for the cape for Beaglebone Black to be finished in diyaudio so that i can dish out the laptop and dac, it will just be Beaglebone black as headless player + dac cape combo going to power amp and then speaker, player controls will be just via wifi using mobile phone/tablet/pc
