Hi, Bill Parish from GTT Audio is on his way over with my Dac-6. I'm looking forward to some great listening tonight. I'll post again in a few days with the sonic details. My system inculdes ML-37 transport, Bat 51se pre-amp, Bat 150se amps driving Eidolons. Zoethecus rack and amp stands. Cardas Golden Reference cabling throughout the system. Wish me luck guys! Thanks, Tom Colato

I do not normally comment on products now in this forum, but I am going to make an exception with the DAC-6.

The Meitner DAC is the best I have ever heard IMHO. You are going to be hearing it sound it's worst using a normal (calling the ML 37 normal is a bit funny) transport. The DAC sinks to the level of nearly mortal DACs when you do not use the Phillips or Meitner proprietary transport. It still is a great DAC when used with a normal transport, but you get maybe about 80-85% of what the DAC can do.

Native DSD SACDs through an all Meitner DAC are as close to vinyl as I have heard digital sound. PERIOD.

Kana813, what is the new DVD software you are referring to?

All I can say is that I have heard some of the best DVDa software that is available now, on some great 24/92 decoders, and I have been wholly disappointed. I will believe great DVD software when I hear it.

I have heard the Meitner in many configurations. It was the most popular digital front end at HE2003, and it consistantly performed amazingly well. I have also heard it outside the show in systems I am very familiar with.
