Is this used just like the expodisc?

Yes, the only difference is it does not attach to the lens. It is a much cheaper version that is perfect 98% of the time, and the other 2% is probably me doing something wrong.

Hate to say it but yes redundant is the perfect word since the DAC on this superior to anything I have used to date and it will drive anything with amazing quality. 128 Mp3's sound near CD! The X3 is in its own zipcode.

The ExpoDisc is not watertight. If you leave it outside over night, you will get condensation in it.

It's a Blue Ray disc cleaner. The instructions make no reference to any specific make or model. I use mine on my Pioneer.

I don't know. I found this program more difficult to use that the one I had before - "Creative Media Source". I went back to it. It is on my Wiin XP computer and came with the sound card, and I cannot find any place to buy it. Now that XP is no longer supported, I am using the old computer off-line, just for for copying my old recordings, and off-line activities, etc. That way I can use the Creative Media Source for my sound work.

For a true audio buff with excellent hearing, that may well be a true statement. For those of us who are older, (I'm 71) and have experienced some hearing loss, It's fine. I'm copying old vinyl records into my computer using a $30 dollar software package called "VinylStudio" which cleans up the pops and clicks, and the finished product burned to CD's sounds great played back on my good stereo system. So, I'm very happy with the standard cartridge. Having said that, I'll probably upgrade to a better cartridge by the time I get halfway through the big box of vinyl albums, simply because I will have worn this one out. I forgot to mention, I'm not a classical music buff. We're into the 50's and 60's music, that we grew up with. Best of luck in your decision. Dick

Yes it is. I suggest using the SHR (1-disk protection) volume type, unless you have or want the SHR2 (2-disk protection)

My vinyl to pc capture was pre hdmi. I used rca to pc audio input. Software must have vinyl clean up feature.outcome is not high quality, but provided a clean retro sound on cd for a friend who's father recorded the album for her. sorry, HDMI audio in from rca...haven't tried. Maybe Audicity could help

My first answer of NO seems to have been published without my additional comment of : 'Not that I'm aware of. It is a simple copier: whatever is on the master CD/DVD is directly copied to the blank.'

Didn't seem to be, we only used it to digitize our vhs stuff so we only used one type of disc that we bought like twenty of. It's been awhile but I don't remember it giving us any problems

Sorry, can't help with your question. It didn't work - right out of the box - with any CD (store-bought or burned) - - - so I immediately returned it.

No . You can use a plain Unbranded data disc. For music Jvc discs work very well & are cheap.If you want to archive your music for more than several years I would recommend going with MAM-A gold archive discs.But be prepared to spend over $2 each for them.

Yes. but right now i am just keeping it simple and living with it as is. have not had time to deal with the other stuff. have magna planer speakers and could hook up to that, but think it would be better to ultimately hook up to amplifier first which is then hooked up to the speakers and then go from there and listen to your vinyl and old cassettes and download what you will . i just bought this to kind of chill in a simple way and listen to my records 'as is' with that good old sound and it is enough for me just as it is. there is potential to do almost everything when you have the right tools, however. take it wherever you want to. that is up to you ultimately. right? ;-) Yes. but right now i am just keeping it simple and living with it as is. have not had time to deal with the other stuff. have magna planer speakers and could hook up to that, but think it would be better to ultimately hook up to amplifier first which is then hooked up to the speakers and then go from there and listen to your vinyl and old cassettes and download what you will . i just bought this to kind of chill in a simple way and listen to my records 'as is' with that good old sound and it is enough for me just as it is. there is potential to do almost everything when you have the right... » Read More Yes. but right now i am just keeping it simple and living with it as is. have not had time to deal with the other stuff. have magna planer speakers and could hook up to that, but think it would be better to ultimately hook up to amplifier first which is then hooked up to the speakers and then go from there and listen to your vinyl and old cassettes and download what you will . i just bought this to kind of chill in a simple way and listen to my records 'as is' with that good old sound and it is enough for me just as it is. there is potential to do almost everything when you have the right tools, however. take it wherever you want to. that is up to you ultimately. right? ;-) « Show Less

I am very interested in what you find out. I am looking at the 980H mainly as a cd/sacd/dvd-a player.I have read many reviews on it and none have mentioned that the first few seconds of cd are cut off, the only one being on this site.Very interesting.

This unit does not change files on your computer in any way. It simply connects to the analog output and amplifies whatever is being played.
