| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD My room is NOT the ideal acoustic environment. There are a lot of reflective surfaces and an audible slap echo. At his urging, I am going to broach the idea with my Wife of maybe some subtle acoustic treatments to improve on the room a bit. Don't ... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Very nice. The Meitner and PSAudio should be an interesting comparison.... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Matt, the best experimental design would be to blind a non-audiophile listener(s) (preferably your 6 yr old) and cycle through the dacs. You may be surprised by the outcome. For good measure, throw in a cheap chinese variant (Weiliang for example)... | |

| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Agear - best quote ever in Audiophile obsession ... "you should not bail simply due to extra $ or logistical hassles." You, sir, are hard core!!!

The transport is as important as the dac (IMO) and you should not bail simply due to extra $ or logistical hassles. Similarly, USB-SPDIF converters have major impact. Steve did of... | |
