Audio Logic 24MXL compared to Audio Logic 34MXL

I recently purchased the audiologic 34mxl by The great Jerry ozment. It is absolute music. Some audiophile's had an issue with bass on earlier models, but on the latest 34mxl, I find the bass absolutely musically and emotionally very satisfying. This dac is very musical and without a hint of digital artifact. The highs are realisticly extended, just like real life. The midrange is so lifelike until it is uncanny, not syrupy and artificially warm. to quote Goldielocks (it's just right).This is another one of those fine products that require a system of top notch quality to realize it's full potential. I owned the wonderful 24mxl, but this upgrade is just plain better in every way. I am waiting For my new metronome kalista transport, I expect it within a few weeks. WOW, I am expecting something exceptional in this combination. If you desire the best of dac's, tubed or solidstate, no hype, no chutzpa, but pragmatic and mature design philosophy,then the experience of Jerry Ozment is what you want. Just buy it, set back, relax, and enjoy music.

Posbwp555 regards to you. conerning the dac replaced. I recently had the magnificent p03/d03/Gos combo. A fabulous system. I decided to try the metronome kalista transport, and remembering the great Jerry Ozment I purchased the latest audiologic 34mxl also magnificent but different as tube tech goes. the Esoteric was very dynamic, precise and musical but could sometime come of as a tad analytical and maybe a tad dry.I suspect that a very good tube pre could alleviate that perception. At the time I was using that excellent Music first audio tvc based passive. The audiologic is wetter and very musical and competes with cost no object dac's. This craft and pursuit never ends, and that is what makes it so much fun. We are big boy's playing with big toy's If we get to serious then it is time to pursue other endevors.Btw I have a new toy coming today, tha accustic arts dac-4. Wow! I wonder how that will perform with, THE KALISTA. CHEERS
