Check This Out!
Just wanted to make audiophile community aware, anyone looking for a DAC must check out Galle DAC from Cinnamon Audio. The feedback from two recent buyers was very inspiring and they bought the DAC after listening.
"The Galle DAC: we’ve crafted a DAC that delivers a natural, lush sound with remarkable dynamics and harmonic richness"
Cutting edge R2R, 27 bit ladder, laser cut the resistors to hit 0.1% tolerance; installed directly into the circuit board for a bargain price of $12,995
You can hear this DAC at Capitol Audio, courtesy @gestalt audio.
Looking forward to your impressions. The DAC's you have listed above would be on my list when I upgrade in a few years. Sorry to sidetrack the thread a wee bit, but I'll repeat the question @grannyring asked in 2023, as I am curious to the answer as well: "Looking very nice! How much improvement did you hear by raising the Sons off the floor for more height? I know the LiveVibe products really help all sonic areas, but am specifically asking about stage height changes with the stands. " |
@mclinnguy To be honest, I don't remember what they sounded like re: soundstage on the floor. I only had them there for a few days until Colin came to set them up and we agreed that the Sons sounded better on the Sistrum stands and then I upgraded to the current LiveVibe Rhythm Junior stands. Soundstage height is great on those stands. And of course WVL is now offering their own stands for the SON speakers. |
I purchased the WVL Conica stands that just came out recently. They raise the speakers 7 inches and sound fantastic! Stage height is taller and the Sons sound even more open. Now I had to work on repositioning my speakers and listening position to achieve this result. I found more toe-in helped me not lose any deep bass or body. My Sons are now pointing at my shoulders and I can just barely see the inner side of the speakers from my listening position. I also moved my listening position forward about 10 inches. The Sons never sounded better in my room.

@grannyring Hey Bill what is your system setup these days? I clicked your profile but I don't see your virtual system anymore? |
