PlayStation as CD Player: Sound
September 4, 2007
I think I’m starting to hear how the PlayStation, when used as a CD player, doesn’t sound that great… I’m listening to some stuff which I’d heard via Lossless on my iPod, and it just doesn’t sound as…. complex. It’s almost as if something is missing.
Next time I place an order with Mouser I’ll give some of the modifications people have talked about a go, but for now I’m thinking I’ll end up sticking with my iPod as an audio source for it.
As I suspected, a DAC alone does not make good sound.
I’d still love to see some actual measurements, though…
It seems better than my other CD player, but… meh.
If only the iPod didn’t chew through battery with lossless. Maybe I just need a good USB audio adapter for at work, then I can use iTunes for music and such.
