Is that a CD interchanger?
Evan Jackson
my car, two days ago
Jason Russell
Never
Samuel Rogers
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.
William Collins
Rent-a-life zoom zoom.
Jayden Hernandez
Why are they so keen on letting you know about their "LASER BEAM READ-OUT"?
Mason Campbell
CDs nuts nigga
Jaxon Thomas
HAAAAAAAA got 'im
William Price
>I own physical media
John Cruz
It was literally the first CD player ever made, and this was in the heyday of lasers and holograms and shit. It's fancy.
>bragging about not owning anything
peak zoomer, absolutely pathetic
Blake Bailey
somewhere around 2011
Brayden Davis
This morning, why?

>It has the Philips TDA1540 DAC which has been modified for no oversampling.
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.
Matthew Nelson
About 10 minutes ago in my car

>pay a subscription fee for access to the library comprised of thousands of labels

peak boomertard, absolutely pathetic
Jonathan Bell
Can you browse Soundcloud on that? Yeah, I thought so.
Nathan White
1998 or 1999 maybe
Lucas Parker
>internet goes out
>no music, movies, and (soon) vidya
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.
Hunter Adams
>can hear the difference
>can't see the difference
Lucas Rodriguez
You can see the difference. And hear it.
Samuel Taylor
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.
Dominic Smith
This bitch can see C02 you need to get it on the case
Joseph Williams
>85dB SNR
Holy autism, why do people pretend that old tech is somehow better?
Carson Ortiz
It's demonstrably better, a real orchestra might only have 75 dB dynamic range in a concert hall anyway.
William Butler
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.
Blake Brown
Susumu's the only person who has found a legitimate use for vocaloids thus far.
Landon Perry
probably about 6 years ago maybe 8 years ago
2011 sounds about right
Eli Harris
2013 I think
Jace Cruz
or I could just use the CD player with my CDs
and normal people call it a deck, faggot
Colton Jackson
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.
Logan Hernandez
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
Nathan Jenkins
Or I can just keep buying 90-minute CD spindles which today are a dime a dozen.
Lucas Richardson
On Sunday when I last drove my car.
Benjamin Lewis
I just ordered some CDs and an external drive so I can have my music in my car
Nathan Walker
Literally today in my car
fiona apple, when the pawn
Jace James
depends on the make. nearly impossible on a mercedes without replacing the entire sound system.
Isaiah Reyes
A few days ago, using my 286 PC
Kayden Ramirez
my music collection would take a stack of cds over 16 metres tall to fit - without cases
Ryder Turner
what's a CD? isn't that pic a record player?
Henry Sanchez
If we're counting automobiles, today.
Zachary Rogers
oh, post pics of it, kind Añon
Nathan Mitchell
What have they written on your ass when they fucked you?
Jack Butler
huh? you talking about my belt drive cd transport?
Camden Long
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
Brandon Ramirez
Yesterday, with pic related
Ryan Morales
yeah in my car today too
i even bought some cds recently from a charity shop so i could play them in my car
Landon Jones
Right now it's a mess and since my CRT is currently broken I had to use a crappy LCD
Gavin Martin
SoundCloud is ass.
Camden Smith
>spending this money on a meme
Best CD transports are the early Philips CDM models.
Carson Ward
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.
Jordan Williams
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.
Isaac Thompson
today.
played a tribe called quest and Future sound of London.
Ryan Gutierrez
what meme?
Ethan Miller
Examine the laser pickup, it’s got a bunch of plastic. Philips CDM’s are made of brass and steel.
Michael Rogers
About 20 minutes ago. I played Amon Amarth in my car.
Ryder Harris
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
Gavin Lewis
It’ll last much longer than that belt drive meme machine.
Nicholas Bailey
early cd players where cool as fuck Too bad most of them are shit by modern standards
Caleb Barnes
ok
Tyler Foster
are you just collecting snake oil or what is you deal?
Robert Smith
huh?
Nolan Collins
Probably 2001.
Michael Parker
Stop replying to him. He posts a million pictures in different angles of the same overpriced garbage for attention and acts confused when people call him out on it.
Cameron Bennett
huh?
Nolan Anderson
About an hour ago, in my car driving home from work. Bose 6-disc changer. Soundsgoodman.
Luis Gutierrez
Bluray :few minutes ago
Cdrom:probably around 2010
Logan Powell
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.
Logan Murphy
There's just a few bands I still buy CD's because I really like the art or the liner notes.
Jaxon Miller
don't they sell direct drive CD players?
The hierarchy for sim racing wheels is Direct drive > Belt drive > Gear drive
Adam Adams
I bought a CD a few years back because I couldn't find the album online (debut album, only just released).
Zachary Sanchez
most cdp are/were direct drive
Ayden Johnson
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.
Isaac Williams
I just did some research and it makes sense now. Better RPM stability with belt drive players.
Carter Collins
55 minutes ago
Grayson Clark
Do you have any king crimson or elp?
Juan Cruz
Sometime last year in my old car.
Zachary Roberts
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.
Christian Johnson
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
Luke Jackson
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.
Mason Butler
thanks, hope you’re able to pull it off
Benjamin Davis
which of those six CDs would you say is "the best"?
Noah Green
tough call, incredible musicians all around
Alexander Turner
on second thought the jazz messengers album is seriously cookin
Nicholas Anderson
Nearly 15 years ago or so.
Elijah Allen
you're entirely insane for buying a CD processor that expensive but i understand
Justin Myers
probably :)
Nathaniel Phillips
I will probably buy the new tool cd and play it in my car
Adam Flores
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.
Dominic Hall
6-12 months ago
Found pic related in a box. Had been there since the late 90's
Alexander Hughes
>all that effort for albums brickwalled to death
Although I suppose that makes sense.
Nathaniel Murphy
hey man, why don't you use speakers
Jaxson Torres
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
Jaxon Martinez
We're literally hitting Metallica levels of lack of dynamic range here, top kek.
Michael Allen
I mean you might as well only have a system supporting 10 dB dynamic range with this source material...
Caleb Martinez
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.
Nicholas Miller
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.
Ian Sanchez
Prove it
