hi, i have the decco and it is a bit different than the 2 in the dac area and some features. it does have a soft sound because of the tubes imo. and there is some compromise in the amp section but your report is the first one i have ever seen where it sounds like crap. your other gear is very nice. i see your other system is good too so you know what good sound is. the speakers are in phase i assume. did you get it locally? as a snap look i would guess it may have a problem or your expectations are too high maybe. possible some dynaudio expert can shed some light here. i;d like to know what is going on ,good luck. ps. david at peachtree has answered questions from me quickly so call him monday possibly. they care about good sound and customers
Peachtree Decco 2 setup...
I need advice, I recently picked up a Peachtree Decco 2 for a bedroom system. I've got an NAD DVD player as the source, connected via PS- audio digital interconnect to the decco. I'm also using my pc for digital (flac) files, tied in with a no-name USB cable. Speakers are dynaudio audience 42 with analysis plus oval 9 speaker cables. So that's the setup, here's the problem... It sounds, well, like crap!! Theres hardly any bass, the highs are much too 'soft' and the midrange seems over-pronounced. Am I using the wrong equipment somewhere in my setup? Any advice would be great, thanks in advance.
