Hi you guys, it has been a busy year and I've not dropped by much but it is good to see the usual guys hanging out here. Tone, well done for getting Omiga going. I thought that I would share some thoughts that I have been having about moving to hard drive and to get some feedback. For those that do not know I have a Wadia transport/Trichord Pulsemaster/Wadia Dac CDP that I am really happy with, Nuvitsa M3 (all on Hutter) and SF Amator IIs. I have been thinking about moving to a one box CDP / DVD player (I also have a DVDP transport) as I am fed up with lots of boxes and having to change CDs. As I am in the music biz I have got some advice from my pro audio dealer who has come up with what I think could be a great solution. Instead of a one box CDP/DVDP I am considering recording all of my CDs (and DVDs) to hard drive (but obviously not compressing the audio). One option is to go for Glyph GT308 (drive) [URL]http://www.glyphtech.com/site/products_gt308.html[/URL] controlled by an i-MAC with Apogee or RME soundcard. I will either keep my Wadia DAC because it sounds great but if I need to seel the transport with the DAC will then look for something else, but do not know what yet. In the industry Glyph are the leaders in audio and video storage, the idea of having 250gig drives that I can have 200-240 Cds on and swap them in and out of the drive bay sounds very convenient and future proof. I will be getting one on demo in the next few weeks for a listen. I know that I can record CD and DVD from Glyph Plextor drive but forgot to ask and am not sure if DVD-A and SACD disks will be able to be ripped in now or in the future. This is not a major problem as I am very happy with the sound quality that I get from CDs and was unimpressed with one demo of SACD that I had, I'm just thinking maybe 3 years ahead when DVD-A and SACD have sorted themselves out, this is really intended to be my last change for quite a few years (famous last words!) All comments very welcome. Thanks. dominicT
