*DAC
I am down to the last piece of the puzzle. I am very happy with the sound of my system at this point, so I’m not sure if the DAC needs to be improved on. What I am looking for is to hear those background subtleties in the music a little more pronounced. The strum of a guitar, the stroke of the piano keys, the clicks, ticks & tingles that accompany the music. I do here that now, I just wondered if there is a way to elaborate on those background sounds (details) a bit more.
Is it the DAC that will make this happen? If it is, they say my Gustard R26 is as good as a $5K DAC, how far over that $5K do you think I have to go?
Thank you for your help and suggestions and the best to you all over the holiday season and beyond!
PS: I listen mostly to Jazz

@jacobsdad2000 OUCH! I think I need some loseless cables! @magnuman "OCC single crystal" Could I trouble you for some examples (manufactures)? With power cables, flexibility is a must, Pangea and Signals are way too stiff where I recall Cullen and Black Sands where much more to my liking.

Yup, 10K is probably it. I run the Weiss 501 4 channel. Would agree that a very good digital cable is essential. I run the 75 ohm Jorma after using the Nordost 1. It really is that good. Understand the Weiss 204 to be a stripped down version of the Weiss 501 2 channel which probably gets you there too. My combination gives the "sounds of performance" such as breathing, fingering on acoustic guitar strings, distinct sounds of piano foot pedal work and of course Oscar and others humming while playing. Best of luck on your quest. |
@navyachts OCC Cable manufacturers. DH Labs, Zavfino, Wire World, Neotech, and of course you could save a ton of $$$ and go the DIY route. |
@celtic66 I don't see you system on your profile page but thank you. I used to work at Celtic Shipyard in Vancouver BC! |
