@vthokie83 SWEET! Have you heard them all?
*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

navyachts, I've had the Terminator II and Terminator Plus II (not the newer 12th versions) in my system on loan for 2 months earlier this year (I currently own a Denafrips Pontus II). The T+A 200 frequently in a friend's system I know well.....and envy. Same guy replaced the Weiss with the T+A, but he liked it and has kept it for his second system.....I just have yet to hear it myself though. |
What a beautiful bay/lake view from your room. Having such a relaxing room is a huge plus, I have the same. I like the above recommendations for new power cords but think that something like the Zavfino Fina OCC power cable that sells in the $350 range would do the trick. But being very happy with your sound and just wanting a little more detail, I would not think twice about the purchase of a Schiit Lokius 6 band graphic equalizer for about $300 and ever so gently boost your treble and upper mids or whatever suits your preferences. Someone has voiced every component we own, with an EQ you can subtly tailor that sound to your preference. Then, if you still feel the need, you can consider a bigger component change. Just my humble opinion. |
@magnuman Born in New Westminster and lived all over the lower Mailand during my time in Canada. 16 years ago I moved to WA state (dually) and have commuted to work in south Surrey since then on a daily basis. @jetter Thank you, Lummi Bay part of the Salish Sea. Yes, I have heard of the Lokius and will give it further consideration. I have also seen the Zavfino power cable come up in an on-line search. I have some real tight spots to deal with and I think the longer than normal plug ends would hamper some of my equipment placement. But thank you for all your suggestions. @audphile1 "So you weren’t down to last piece of the puzzle. Hehehe" LOL! Did you upgrade your power cords on you Montis's as well? |
