Apparently, hifi manufacturer Onkyo, who had to file for bankruptcy, are back, and they have a new…

CD player!

Which I take as a reason to show you this video of mine again: https://makertube.net/w/fvveVmzB8jeiUMZGqSNMAo

Any CD player is good for you, if it fulfills two conditions: a) digital output must be available and b) it must be in working condition or within the scope of your repair skills.

(The one in the video had needed repair, I managed. I bought it for the coolness. For presenting CDs in a way that actually makes you see the disc spinning.)

Most #DACs in CD players are not good, but Chinese dudes offer converters with remote controls and #LDAC #bluetooth and whatnot for cheap these days. E.g. the FiiO BR13 isn't high-end but better than most DACs out there, it's 60€. I had liked the sound of the expensive Topping DX3 Pro+ better, but it died after a few days, perhaps I was having bad luck.

Of course, you can also just get the new Onkyo CD-30… https://onkyo.com/de/home-audio-2/cd-players/c-30-cd-player

Kupno sluchawek #SONY #WH1000XM6 to (jednak 😉 ) byla jedna z najlepszych decyzji zakupowych ostatnich miesiecy:

- jakosc dzwieku jest rewelacyjna, szczegolnie pod #Linux.em, ktory obsluguje #LDAC 😉 pewnie 5. generacja tez by dobrze wypadla, w kazdym razie... sztos
- ladowanie akumulatora jest blyskawiczne - kilkanascie minut i masz ekstra kilka godzin dzialania
- moj najwiekszy pierwotny zarzut, czyli wygoda - sluchawki sie "ulezaly", uszy juz mnie nie bola, a...
- odkad je mam slucham muzyki w domu czesciej na nich niz przez glosniki - przyjemniej mi sie np. robi cos w kuchni kiedy faktycznie slysze muzyke niz jej "pozostalosci" dolatujace z drugiego pokoju
- @mrk to Ty pisales o potencjalnych problemach z lamaniem sie zawiasow? poki co nic takiego nie stwierdzilem, moze za malo je jeszcze eksploatowalem, ale juz lecialy ze mna samolotem w torbie podroznej i nic im sie nie stalo ;)
