果然愛用WD RE系列是對了...XD
(WD RE4 2TB打死不降價...還很貴)
目前PC內4個硬碟由RE2到RE4都有...=_="
不過對於怕死的我...WD RE系列是唯一的選擇..(還要配Oline UPS)
WD的RE系列的弱點是不穩定的供電

High Definition digital music interface
Key Functions:
1. Digital stream master network audio interface (24Bit/192KHz)
2. Digital stream Hard Disk recorder (24Bit/96KHz)
3. WI-FI/LAN Internet radio
4. Upgrade operating system from USB
The Linear 7 High Definition digital music interface contains audio coding and decoding software that can process 24Bit/192KHz high bit rate digital master tape audio streams at very high speeds and supports the decoding output of all types of digital audio formats, such as (WAV//WMA/ APE/FLAC/ALAC/ACC ). In the future, through firmware upgrading, the device will support even more audio formats.
It can also be used as a network music server center. It can support any network hard disc NAS and can share network resources through WI-FI/LAN. It can also be used as an Internet radio. With a built-in channel list, it can receive over ten thousand digital Internet radio stations from all over the world.
The linear 7 adopts the specialized 32-bit high-performance embedded multi-media processor CPU, multimedia DSP chip solution and the reference clock system of the industrial-class digital phase-locked loop (DPLL) system, effectively reducing clock jitter in transmission of digital audio signals so as to achieve an ultra-low jitter index.
The Linear 7 has an LCD display with a touch screen allowing the user simple operation. The screen can display the artist's name/internet radio station information and the sampling rate. It also includes an easy to use high quality fully functioning remote control.

1. USB wireless DAC digital receiver
2. Universal DAC for CD transports, The Consonance HD interface, DVD players, Blu-ray players, cable TV decoders and satellite receivers
3. Hi-end Headphone amp
4. RCA and Balanced outputs for analog
The newly designed Consonance Linear 8 Decoder is more than simply a new product, it is also a new concept in audio enjoyment. The heart of the linear 8 is the PCM1792 24-Bit chip running at a 192kHz sampling rate. Our decoder uses the Transceiver has a low jitter analog PLL, and a PLL lock range from 32khz to 192khz .
There are 4 selectable digital inputs on the rear panel consisting of a coaxial RCA, AES, Toslink and an antenna for digital USB computer input. The basic signals are displayed through the front panel meter. This meter will also indicate when the signal is locked in.
The Linear 8 has a wireless USB 2.4G ISM license free band, adaptive frequency hopping random ID pairing and non-compressed 48k/16bit sampling. This wireless system is like a secondary music system that will compliment your existing main setup. It can be operated at a considerable distance (up to 25m) from your primary system, there are no bothersome cables. Your computer can be used as a main source of your music playback allowing you more freedom and worry free operation in your musical enjoyment.
The Linear 8 includes a hi-end headphone amplifier, 32ohm to 600ohm.
Its size is unobtrusive so it can be positioned anywhere, and it has a very user friendly interface.
以音樂來說 USB 1.1 就可跑到24/96,USB 2.0 到24/192已沒問題
沒什麼規格戰吧?
這些早就固定了
檔案規格 WAV與AIFF、FLAC
介面就是同軸、AES、 USB、1394、網路
APE明顯的不是主流,WAV是錄音室早就在用的格式,AIFF則是MAC系統無損主流
1394也是錄音室早在用
USB也因為最多人用,High End才會花心思去改寫得到好聲音
Audio要看到USB 3.0,一來沒有大大必要,二來可能要慢慢等
以規格,前述所說的已足High End使用
回到老話
什麼東西如果沒有需要,都可以慢慢等
就像買電腦一樣的道理....
但是以目前各家唱片公司目前的經營狀況來看,走向網路檔案的方式恐怕是對唱片公司有必要,但是新的經營方式(可收到錢又不被盜版)看來還沒辦法形成,所以目前看來CD還會是主流,個人的看法是商業模式解決後,大概進場的時機就不遠了
CD還是會主流沒錯
高解析是另外一塊市場,對High End來說更是
其實這幾年全球的CD不斷衰退
Download的銷售數字不斷上升
盜版的問題從CD-R就開始、MP3接續
我想這已不是他們要關心的

Wadia與Music Server廠Qsonix正式合作
http://www.my-hiend.com/leoyeh/2010b...aDigital_1.jpg
http://www.my-hiend.com/leoyeh/2010b...aDigital_2.jpg
不知wadia後續有何新產品問世~~~~~~:O
M2Tech發表了三款新品
hiFace Evo
hiFace 進化版
USB-to-S/PDIF interface, based on the same technology as hiFace, but with many improvements. Hosted in a stylish brushed aluminum case (105 x 100 x 46mm), with B-type female USB connector.
Main features
* input for external supply (7 to 11VDC)
* input for external Master Clock (BNC with transformer)
* 2 x S/PDIF outputs (RCA and 75 Ohms BNC)
* AES/EBU output with XLR connector and settable format (consumer and professional) by an internal jumper
* Toslink output
* ST output
* direct I2S output with 3.3V interface.
Some customers complained because of the lack of sampling frequency encoding in the S/PDIF stream of the present hiFace. The new model will have this fixed, for full compliance with the standard.
All outputs (except I2S) are transformer-decoupled to avoid ground noise and EMI interference. Three LED's indicate power, data stream in input and external clock presence.
Young 384/32 USB DAC
Stereo D-to-A converter in a nice brushed aluminum case and grilled front panel measuring 200 x 50 x 200 mm. Some of the highlights of this new model include:
http://www.my-hiend.com/vbb/../leoye...h-mini-dac.jpg

* Hitachi builds foundation for future generations of one-disk 2.5-inch drives with its new Z-series family of Travelstar and CinemaStar drives, enabling the most cost effective, space efficient storage solutions for next generation portable devices
2.5吋
* Entire Hitachi Z-series family of drives offered in capacities up to 320GB – the industry's highest capacity 7mm 2.5-inch drive in a one-disk design
320GB只有7mm厚,而且只有一個碟片而已
* The Travelstar Z7K320 drive is the world's first 7200 RPM, 7mm 2.5-inch drive for high-performance compact systems and devices
7200轉
* The CinemaStar Z5K320 drive leads the CE space as the first 7mm drive optimized for audio/video (A/V) devices such as personal video recorders (PVR) and set-top-boxes (STB)
* An optional self encrypting drive (SED) model for protecting data, and an enhanced-availability (EA) model for applications needing around-the-clock data access in lower-transaction environments (Travelstar Z-series only) round out the family
雖然硬碟技術進步、價格便宜,可是還是想等SSD的SLC價格合理時購買阿
Hitachi 7mm Z-Series 的表現可能接近SSD,但價格更為合宜

definitive technology~ mythos st super tower.http://www.my-hiend.com/vbb/images/icons/icon14.gif
簡直..就是把 hi-end 精神完全落實入"劇院系統"..
有這樣"規格表現"的主聲道劇院..還用主喇叭.超低音..嗎(blush).
http://www.my-hiend.com/vbb/picture....ictureid=10537
看這規格數據..
主動式~內建300w擴大機..低頻自 14hz起..會否太誇張.?8)
以如此纖細.輕巧外形.那不就是空間與設計的"絕配"..!?:O
http://www.my-hiend.com/vbb/picture....ictureid=10538
提醒一下,廠商說14Hz到30KHz,但沒標明+/-的margin.:|:|
我沒試聽過Definitive Tech的喇叭,雖然原廠離我家不遠(50 英里左右)(blush)(blush). 看過一些評論,好像還不錯呢!
I know you have been expecting this release for a long time. We were waiting for OSX version 10.6.4 to be released as there were some issues with previous releases. Apple has released 10.6.4 and so we are ready to release the WaveLink product. Since Windows does not support Class 2 USB Audio we had to get a driver capable of working with our product. We therefore have the Thesycon USB Class 2 Audio driver available for our products. All of the new setup is covered in the 24/192 page.
While this will not bring legacy DACS up to the asynchronous capabilities of direct USB connectivity it will do a lot for those people wanting to connect their SPDIF dacs to computers. Since the clock in all transports are changing the SPDIF output also has to change and this is used to control the flow of audio data between a transport and dac. With the WaveLink the clock is fixed and therefore the SPDIF is fixed and this makes the receiver section of any SPDIF connected device to work really well because the internal PLL (Phase Lock Loop) that derives the Audio DATA stream connects at one frequency, locks on and stays there.
This means that the WaveLink has significantly better jitter capabilities than most transports. It also has rates available and shown with LED's for all the popular audio frequencies (44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4 and 192KHz). The WaveLink is shipped with a BNC connector for the best response and is shipped with a suitable BNC-BNC SPDIF cable and with a mating BNC->RCA adapter if your dac requires this. A high grade USB 2.0 High Speed cable is also included with each WaveLink.
