Counterpoint DA-11 - Genesis Dig. Lens - DA-10 Dac


Just wondering if anyone has tried the combination of using a Counterpoint DA-11 transport and the DA-10 Dac, both partnered with a Genesis Digital Lens.

I've listened to several digital setups in the $5,000.00 to $25,000.00 range and could still hear some high frequency shrill when listening to opera or piano. I am not sure if I am simply imagining the relatively better -- I suppose more analog and natural -- sound quality coming out of the much more humble Counterpoint-Digital Lens setup. These are relatively older components without any upgrades, so I would tend to think today's superior technology in chips and dacs would far surpass the seemingly outdated technology.

Thank you for your responses and pardon if my inquiry is loaded with contradictions, misunderstandings, or misperceptions on digital technology, as my primary source of listening is vinyl.

Hi fellow Audiogoners,

I also wonder how you rate the performance of the DA-11 and DA-10 if you compare them to the modern units? I'm a vinly person and my primary investment is to the analog. I'm searching for a SA_5.1 and maybe a SA-2 for the phono side, so why not more Counterpoints for the digital side?

Regards,

Firat.
