Is that a CD interchanger?

my car, two days ago

Never

Nope, it's a single disc player, and it's the first CD player ever made. It has the Philips TDA1540 DAC which has been modified for no oversampling.

Rent-a-life zoom zoom.

Why are they so keen on letting you know about their "LASER BEAM READ-OUT"?

CDs nuts nigga

HAAAAAAAA got 'im

It was literally the first CD player ever made, and this was in the heyday of lasers and holograms and shit. It's fancy.

Why would it matter when you can't hear above 11.5k aka basically deaf, audiophool boomer? Get a fucking oscilloscope and see for yourself that there is no virtual difference between DACs, be it 44.1KHz, 48KHz, 96KHz sampling rates or 8/16 bit modes.

About 10 minutes ago in my car

Can you browse Soundcloud on that? Yeah, I thought so.

1998 or 1999 maybe

No subscription service has even close to everything you want to hear and the files are messed with even if 'lossless' more often than not.

Just admit it, you can't fit a CD case inside your San Francisco hot bunk.

>Get a fucking oscilloscope and see for yourself that there is no virtual difference between DACs, be it 44.1KHz, 48KHz, 96KHz sampling rates or 8/16 bit modes.
Not true at all, once you have good speakers and a nice amplifier you can hear the difference between DACs. It can also be measured.

DACs all tout impressive specs these days but those measurements are always made using the two-sine test, which is fine for a signal made of two sine waves but which doesn't actually provide useful data on how they will sound with actual music.

The DAC in that CD player was designed by the same people who designed CD technology, it was fully engineered, and it's actually pretty famous. There hasn't been a decent DAC for 16/44.1 use made since the 1990s, everything today is a shitty bitstream chip excepting a very few units. True ladder DACs are the simplest and best.

>can hear the difference
>can't see the difference

You can see the difference. And hear it.

You know, you can buy a head unit for less than 30bucks new and you can hook it up with 2 6bucks ebay class D amp boards.
If just skip the head unit altogether and connect the chinese amp directly to your music player or photo via cable or bluetooth.

This bitch can see C02 you need to get it on the case

>85dB SNR
Holy autism, why do people pretend that old tech is somehow better?

It's demonstrably better, a real orchestra might only have 75 dB dynamic range in a concert hall anyway.

Every time I get in my car.

6 disk CD changer. Disk 2 has been 80 minutes of Vocaloid songs ever since moot hit us with GEE GEE GEE GEE and that led me down a path of bliss.

Susumu's the only person who has found a legitimate use for vocaloids thus far.

probably about 6 years ago maybe 8 years ago
2011 sounds about right

2013 I think

or I could just use the CD player with my CDs
and normal people call it a deck, faggot

I think it was when I was last visiting my grandparents. They have an old hi-fi setup from the late 90s/early 2000s. Funnily enough I think the last thing I played on it was a vinyl record, so I listened to a vinyl record more recently than a CD.

i had one in my old car and i had a flash drive with a bunch of music plugged in at all times. it was pretty nice.

but cds are just easier. when you want a new album you burn it to a cd. bring it with you when you get in your car. with mp3s you have to pull the flash drive out which leaves you liable to forget it next time you go out to your car. dragging and dropping a library of mp3s isn't much effort at all but you can't blame someone for picking a lower effort solution

Or I can just keep buying 90-minute CD spindles which today are a dime a dozen.

On Sunday when I last drove my car.

I just ordered some CDs and an external drive so I can have my music in my car

Literally today in my car

fiona apple, when the pawn

depends on the make. nearly impossible on a mercedes without replacing the entire sound system.

A few days ago, using my 286 PC

my music collection would take a stack of cds over 16 metres tall to fit - without cases

what's a CD? isn't that pic a record player?

If we're counting automobiles, today.

oh, post pics of it, kind Añon

What have they written on your ass when they fucked you?

Last month. I mainly just ripped my entire CD collection to FLAC, MP3 @ 320k, and OPUS @ 128k.

Is there a way on android to read ID3v2 tags on OPUS files like MP3's? I couldn't get it to work with VLC like I did with MP3's

yeah in my car today too
i even bought some cds recently from a charity shop so i could play them in my car

Right now it's a mess and since my CRT is currently broken I had to use a crappy LCD

SoundCloud is ass.

>spending this money on a meme
Best CD transports are the early Philips CDM models.

prolly around 2010
2 weeks ago I took out the DVD drive from my desktop bc it's not reading well anymore after about 8 years. Not buying a new one bc I prolly won't use ir anyway.

Like 6 years ago, I don't even have working cd player, the one I had started skipping and it's unusable. Never cared enough to repair it.

today.

played a tribe called quest and Future sound of London.

what meme?

Examine the laser pickup, it’s got a bunch of plastic. Philips CDM’s are made of brass and steel.

About 20 minutes ago. I played Amon Amarth in my car.

along with my c.e.c tl-5 belt drive cd transport, I also have an Audio Aero Capitole mk2 tubed output stage CD player which uses a Phillips cd pro2

About an hour ago, in my car driving home from work. Bose 6-disc changer. Soundsgoodman.

Bluray :few minutes ago
Cdrom:probably around 2010

yes, but I can keep a CD in there for when I can't be arsed to pair up my phone and select some music.

There's just a few bands I still buy CD's because I really like the art or the liner notes.

don't they sell direct drive CD players?
The hierarchy for sim racing wheels is Direct drive > Belt drive > Gear drive

I bought a CD a few years back because I couldn't find the album online (debut album, only just released).

most cdp are/were direct drive

I have to record my cd's on tape because the cd player in the trunk is broken, i have an older bmw that still has a tape player in the front.
I enjoy sitting next to my tape recorder for hours making mix tapes while listening to the music.

I just did some research and it makes sense now. Better RPM stability with belt drive players.

55 minutes ago

Do you have any king crimson or elp?

Sometime last year in my old car.

Attached: 1539578247740.jpg (400x354, 49K)

I have a growing record collection.
As back up I also have a large flac collection which I back up to bluray.
I don't store things on other people's computers so the only thing that would really screw me over is a prolonged power outage.

sure of course I have a lot of fripp and kc’s cds, own several elp but only on wax. thanks for reminding me, just pulled out this lineup for tonight

I like the set up user. I was tossing around the idea of getting an older ARC amp and pre and modding my TT to do balanced xlr output but I won't have enough money for a while.

thanks, hope you’re able to pull it off

here’s the sdr-2000’s gut shot, as far as solid state spectral gear is unparalleled in my experience. I also had their dmc-20 s2 pre/phono and dma-180 s2 amp for several years before switching to an all otl tube atma-sphere setup.

Although I suppose that makes sense.

hey man, why don't you use speakers

the player in my CD Player failed but it is easily replaced... I however rip my cds and use this player.s digital input to play from the computer so will probably not ever bother to replace the player unless i want to sell it

I mean you might as well only have a system supporting 10 dB dynamic range with this source material...

It’s actually the opposite, modern players are shit. It’s why you have brand new $20,000 audiophile CD players using recycled Philips parts from the 80s.

Last year, in my dad's sadly now dead (T-boned by a dumb bitch on her phone in a Corolla) S2000. He'd owned it since new in '07 and I finally got him a modern head unit with bluetooth etc. last father's day, and then it got wrecked a few months later.

Prove it
