The relevant comparison is CD ripping vs 16b/44k download. I know that you have FLAC files of Linnrecord songs both ripped on your computer and other (Linnrecord) songs ripped on another computer. So what is stopping you from downloading individual songs and testing this today? :P It' only €1,5 for...

I NEVER play a CD at home if I have the LP of the music. Once in a while I listen to some music in my home office off the computer but I really don't find it very satisfying. I also bought a Squeezebox Duet just to get my feet wet with the digital streaming stuff and to try out internet radio but I...

Have you compared the Akurate with Klimax DS - If so, is there a great difference there too? Yes, unfortunately... :( The Klimax DS is a lot better than the Akurate DS, maybe as the step from Sneaky DS to Akurate DS?

The Akurate did sound somewhat more controlled but it certainly wasn't as much fun, and it was easier to follow the music on the Sneaky DS. ... I think I see a Majik DS in my near future. I also agree with your findings. I like the Sneaky DS more than the Akurate CD, the music is clearly better on ...

There is now a DS control (beta) SW for PDA's! Check out: http://oss.linn.co.uk/trac/wiki/KinskyPda
Has anyone tried it? Please report back. I have tried one of the new beta's for the Ipod Touch and handheld DS control is great! Once you have tried it, you can't live without it!

Are you saying that the Majik LP12 was a little better than an old Cirkus-(external) Valhalla-Akito 2 but clearly worse than an old Cirkus-Lingo 2-Akito 2? Yes, clearly better.

I just listened to the new Majik LP12 at my dealer. At first I thought it was a bit of a dissapointment, mostly because I'm used to higher spec LP12's both at home and at my dealer.
