    Teac AG-3000 Receiver

    Teac AG 3000 in photos. Everything is perfect except losing one knob on the Bass control, might be hard to find a replacement.

    Teac AG-3000 Receiver

    Just to update: I finally bought it. This unit is very good sounding, and the stated 36w is quite underrated. Need to service and recap it right after purchasing, and, I have asked my tech to modify the lights to be on whenever the power is turned on (the original design only will light up when...

    Flac/APE vs DSD

    As I have stated in my first post: my system and room acoustics are not optimal so I can't trust what I heard from it to be typical in a proper environment, therefore I need to ask those who have better systems with decent room acoustics to test and enlighten me, at least before I move to a...

    Flac/APE vs DSD

    Can we just put aside theories in this topics here, there are tonnes of it and I (and many others) have read enough. Let's provide some actual listening experience. Yes, you are entire right, "lossless linear PCM sample stream of identical bit precision and sample rate are the same". I don't...

    Flac/APE vs DSD

    Jargons make me even more confused. I just want to know which format sounds better from actual listening, without having to know all these. Trust me, I have read many tech specs/writings on this, yet I still don't know which sounds better, because my system is not up to par to compare them...

    Flac/APE vs DSD

    I did think about that, but there are so many variations out there, I really don't know how to set the comparison standard. The only thing I know is: we must use the same song, the same amp, the same cables, and the same speakers. About sampling rate and bit precision, I think they are...

    Flac/APE vs DSD

    [No theories, only actual hearing results wanted] What I am looking for is to hear reports of actually hearing and comparing between either FLAC or APE (the two very common lossless formats) and DSD. I have read enough theories and debates, the more I read the more confused I become. So I would...
