Modulum is using a very novel idea of using a moving damper that is designed to flex and absorb energy the Tenor guys are raving over them.

Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD
Hi All.
Putting together a reference level system.
My Source is predominantly standard 16/44 played from a MacMini using iTunes and Amarra. Some of my music is purchased from iTunes and the rest is ripped from standard CD's.
For my tastes in music, my high def catalogues are still limited; so Redbook 16/44 will be my primary source for quite some time.
I'm not spending DCS or MSB money. But $15-20k retail is not out of the question.
Upsampling vs non-upsampling?
USB input vs SPDIF?
All opinions welcome.
And I know I need to hear them, but getting these ultra $$$ DAC's into your house for an audition ain't easy.
Looking for musical, emotional, engaging, accurate , with great dimension. Not looking for analytical and sterile.

The MP seems to be the one to beat right now. I'm having Sam come over with the one wiht the built in DAC to compare it to my Mac mini that Steve built and used as his show back up along with my Ayre QX5 DAC that replaced Steve's OSDE/SE. If ti beats it, I"m all in. I have a feeling, based on Matt and another close friend, that it will beat it with no problem. |
