Reasons why the QA-350 is better than a traditional CD transport...

• No moving parts to wear out. Consistant performance every time!
• Won't suffer from stability issues caused by dust, dirt or smoke
• No reason to take your valueble CDs out of their cases each time you want to listen
• WAV files are error corrected so don't need real time error correction unlike CDs
• Far less jitter than most CD transports / players, even very pricey ones. Sounds better
• Totally resistant to vibrations. No skipping nor any need to keep on expensive Hi-Fi rack
• High Accuracy system clock ensures jitter level is miniscule
• Whole box sets of your favourite CD music collections can be captured in glorious, uncompressed WAV format onto a tiny SD card no bigger than a postage stamp!
• Can be used to play music for extended periods for equipment "burn ins". No mechanical parts such as lasers or motors to wear out

About WAVs...

WAV files are the favourite format choice of people who can't bear the sonic difficiencies of the lossy compressed MP3 format yet want to store, preserve and playback treasured CD collections from their computer hard disk drives.

Up until now, these people would simply be content to use their computer as their main Hi-Fi source component.

Whilst excellent at converting CDs to WAV files, the PC / Mac is still not the ideal music plackback device. The majority if PCs don't have the best powersupplies and are absolutly packed with noisy, interference inducing components. Multiple noisy fans buzz away constantly and due to components fighting over limited resources, "pops" and stutters on the audio are not uncommon.

In these days of hugely expensive utility bills, the electricity consumed in putting a computer to use for considerable periods just for music playback is also quite considerable as is wear and tear to the hardisks.
