dCS Rossini vs. Berkeley Reference dac 2
Sounds good!  I too have worked with Galen Carol, who is quite knowledgeable about Shunyata products- you have a good resource at hand!  I am using a Zitron Sigma HC with my Triton- I'm not looking back or forward at this time, it's hear to stay (...

Dac not sac!  Autospell! 
dCS Rossini vs. Berkeley Reference dac 2
While awaiting Imgoodwithtools' answer, i will chime in by saying you've introduced many variables, focusing a systemic comparison on one component.  That said, as a ref sac 1 user, the impact of the Shunyata Hydra Triton v3 (and previously v2) is... 
dCS Rossini vs. Berkeley Reference dac 2
Sounds great!  As always, every room, system and ear is different.  I will certainly A/B with and without the KX-R twenty again after my Berkeley update.  I am #79 in the queue and they have temporarily suspended the conversion process until they ...

Thanks for these latest posts.  I'm queued up for the upgrade program, ref 1 to 2, but it may take a while.  Great to hear the change is substantial.  I too am scratching my head over your experience with vs without preamp.  It raises the question...

Thanks, still hoping someone will chime in who has heard both in credible "A/B" fashion.  But congrats on your Rossini.  I have to say, I have heard the Vivaldi (all things equal) with and without a preamp.  While it's true that a 32-bit attenuato... 
Who is the WORST Audio Shop?
Taters, thanks for sharing your experience with Sunny's.  I don't live in his area, but I was considering on Audiogon- I won't bother.  BTW, I have heard other chatter that echoes your experience.  But really, a non-refundable deposit to audition ... 
MAC Book Pro Computer vs Aurender N100h vs Aurender N10 Music Servers
Has anyone compared SQ between the N10 and the much pricier W20? 
Anyone compared the Vitus SL-102 to the SL-101 ?
Hi Audiozen,Five years after you posted this question, I wonder if you ever found an answer?  I am now wondering the same thing, with used SL-101 preamps now popping up in the marketplace at a rational price.  No sign of a 102 just yet.   Thanks! ... 
Rockport Avior vs. Marten Coltrane vs. Kharma Midi
Thanks for a good post! I am an Avior owner, still looking for direction in choosing electronics. I started with my 20+ y/o BAT preamp and Rowland 8T, which couldn't provide enough weight at the bottom and effaced much of what is so desirable of t...

Dan D'agostino Momentum Integrated amp
Please let me respond to David99's query as to whether a $54k product is 54x better than a $1000 product. The Mona Lisa would probably never leave the Louvre, but would you prefer to see it hang on your wall or perhaps thousands of inkjet prints o... 
Dan D'agostino Momentum Integrated amp
I recently purchased Dan's integrated which replaces a Stone Age (but still very viable) Jeff Rowland 8T and BAT VK-51SE. I have heard Dan's separates, but I can't fairly make a comparison since the rooms and associated equipment were vastly diffe... 
Where can I buy Genesis Speaker Parts?
Did you have any luck finding drivers? I need to replace a mid-bass coupler on a 500. Take Care. 
Playback Designs vs. Berkeley
I was about to ask the same question. Have you learned anything insightful? Thanks.
