Lots of stuff on here about how to get all those 1's an 0's from a device to a Devialet, bit perfect, via very nice cables. But how to get them onto your hard drive in the first place?
I tend to buy cd's an rip them on my PC. My very neat "all in one" PC, has what I believe is possibly the worlds worse cd transport. Check the part number, it is a Samsung item that can be bought retail for £12, or about the price of one single cd......
My old cd player has a transport that is built like a modest house, but I am ripping with my £12 special plastic drive. I figure that investing in a better (external) drive would be worth while? (one dealer I spoke to insists that Panasonic drives are best for PC's). Also, I tend to rip using iTunes. Devialet themselves state on their website that this is as good as anything. Is this true? Rip with a Naim unitiserve or similar, then that's £2k please. Worth the money? I am thinking that I need to upgrade my PC with a better cd transport, and I know of many options for software for ripping cd's.
Any ideas out there?
