Rogue Audio RP-1 DAC use

I tested the following DACs with RP1 when I had it and the difference was immediately apparent:

Chord Qutest, Mytek Brooklyn 2, Bryston BDA-3.14

I ended up with Chord Qutest. 

Amp was Rogue ST100 driving Martin Logan Montis. 
DACs should not be quickly A/B’d by switching inputs back and forth. You need to listen to at least the entire track and even better listen for few hours with one dac before switching to another. 

If after getting acclimated to one DAC it all still sounds the same to you, you’re either not capable to hear the differences or your system is not revealing (it’s not RP1 cause it’s pretty transparent) and or your room acoustics are bad or all of the above.

What I said was

You chose to only use a part of my post. Taking into consideration what I said about associated equipment and room acoustics instead of leaving it out and labeling my statement a cliche isn’t going to help you or the OP. Stop taking things out of context. That’s bad form. 

@abnerjack look bud…read my first post where I shared my experience with different DACs running them with RP1 and shared the best method of comparing DACs from my experience. Calling my post useless…that’s rich.
It’s obvious you’re incapable of digesting the information in my post probably due to limited capacity, or it could be my jersey accent…who knows.

The only useless posts here are yours. You took things out of context and picked a fight while providing zero value for the OP. Is there anything you wanted to share from your experience? Got anything to recommend? Or are you here to just rate responses?

Not sure what your beef is with me. But I don’t intend to continue entertaining your nonsense. It’s counterproductive to this discussion and arguing with someone like you isn’t time well spent. Take care.

If your RP1 has stock JJs you should plan to try better tubes. Brimar CV4003 from Upscale Audio were amazing in the RP1. Gold Lions were really nice as well. 

@iovi66 thank you! 

@thegreenline I really enjoyed the RP1 when I had it. It responded to tube rolling, cable changes, power cords. On top of it all I used the inbuilt phono amp and it kicked butt. It took a Sutherland KC Vibe MkII to beat that phono section. It’s an insane value the RP1. Enjoy it!
