| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD 08-27-15: Charles1dadAndrew,If by Asian you're referencing the Audio Exotic crowd, I find them a good barometer for the "really good stuff". I don't believe the Goldmund is argeted towards their taste. I'm certain they'd reject it on being "clinic... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Sorry Norman. Goldmund has done some shows with their new hustle and people have not staggered out of the room as if they had been in the presence of God. Guys in Asia who can own anything don't go for Goldmund. Its a lifestyle product for lazy, r... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Charles, I always open to hearing them for entertainment value. My central point, based on experience, is that it takes considerable effort to extract "analog" sound from the digital domain, with proper mechanical grounding (Sistrum), power condit... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD All these high tech, engineering companies are hawking their lifestyle products. That's fine. Yawn. Matt, go hear this stuff and put us out of our misery.... | |
| How an audio rack can enhance your amp/pre Well, I had my Lampizator dac on the floor for the past few weeks due to the room being a construction zone. I just popped it back on a SP101 stand a few days ago and was reminded how much impact these things have.... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Charles, not at all. I was being tongue in cheek.... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Winson, again, the Audiofederation blurb is about the wireless speaker. The angels were not singing....:) I think the AV guy was in the minority at Newport. Furthermore, a lot of press guys will burn incense at the Goldmund alter for obvious reaso... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Norman, the audiofederation blurb is about the plus. Wireless will not magically deliver the goods. Matt will fill us in I am sure....:)... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD That sounds good Matt. I love their drivers, and a lot of peeps seem to like that bad boy speaker. I think your journey may be done (other than hearing the Isis). In an ideal world, it would be fun to own both! The Trenner stuff is designed for no... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD I am not surprised Matt. The Esotar is my favorite tweeter and that speaker is time and phase aligned which always makes music. Are you sure its not too much speaker for your room? It extends down the 17Hz and is big....? | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD 08-22-15: Jh901I'm really hoping Matt will be able to home demo. I'm extremely skeptical. Seventy grand will buy quite an impressive traditional component system.Me too Josh. This whole thread started in the name of digital, and we all know the le... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD 08-22-15: WisnonNo, he has not used his Lampi in ages since he went Emerald Physics then Goldmund DSP electronics.If EP was his prior frame of reference, that explains some of the hyperbole.... | |
| How an audio rack can enhance your amp/pre Wipser, after all the vitriol that your innocent little review generated, do you have any follow up impressions or thoughts? | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD 08-21-15: WisnonNo doubt the future is here, and a pal of mine sold everything save his "first born" to finance a pair of Prologos wireless and says he is DONE after 45 years of search. Selling/sold his vinyl and R2R collection!!!!Selling his Lamp... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD I agree Norman. I have read enough about Goldmund to know they are a serious company. I had read L's extended tirade about the 2009 Munich show before and found it amusingly transparent. A lot of what they are fiddling with is the future. There is... |
