| APL NWO2.5 ? Hello Guido, the NWO-1 was entirely single ended design with 10 DACs per channel and single ended output stage. The NWO-2 is all balanced with 10 x fully differential DAC design which equals 20 DACs per channel (10 + 10 in differential mode). The ... | |
| APL NWO2.5 ? Nilthepill, there will be one in the LA area very soon a week or two. The owner is willing to accommodate audiophiles interested to audition the NWO-2.5 Please send me email if interested so I can forward it to the owner.Regards, Alex | |
| APL NWO2.5 ? Kaaos, I do not have any dealers and I personally sold each of the NWO players. All of my customers still own their NWO-1, NWO-2 and NWO-2.5. None of them have compared their NWO with a "friend" who has a Meridian 808 either.This said, Optarchie d... | |
| APL NWO2.5 ? Optarchie, you have NWO-2? I am not familiar with your moniker. Please provide more detail.Thanks,Alex | |
| APL NWO2.5 ? Hbarrel, The main APL Hi-Fi site is currently under extensive re-development. Please check back in a month for more information. Thank you for you patience!Regards,Alex | |
| non over sampling DAC better than 24/96 or192 DAC? Ditto Bob! And if I may add, what is often not realized is the fact that most of the available DAC chips literally crash with higher sample rates. So this is the "problem" with oversampling / upsampling. Regards, Alex | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? Guido, I am not trying to defend my product or the fact that Mmaksahk is a beginner (we all started learning at some point in time) but will have to say that, according to the "Hitchhiker’s guide to the Galaxy", Earth MKII was much better. :) So t... | |
| What is the best redbook CD player for 6K to 8K? Gentleman, I believe that we are all good hearted and intelligent enough so we can remain good friends, like always. There is no need for clever words war because it will take us nowhere. Guido, you have always been very good friend and also respe... | |
| What is the best redbook CD player for 6K to 8K? Guido, the SACD1000 mod was introduced at $1350 and then went up to $1850. At that time, the SACD1000 was on sale from Tweeter at $400. Online prices on Audiogon and Ebay were $600 max for brand new units. The X-01 retail is $13K and the X-01 Limi... | |
| What is the best redbook CD player for 6K to 8K? Trelja, in 95% of the cases, when it comes to a well designed digital player that does not have faulty processors like the Philips SACD1000 for example, the laser pick-up is the only part that would fail. Whether it will start skipping or it would... | |
| What is the best redbook CD player for 6K to 8K? Guido, when it comes to the actual manufacturer not providing spare parts, and exchanging units that failed under warranty for the new and inferior model, there is nothing anyone can do about it, including me. Companies like Denon, Marantz, Sony, ... | |
| What is the best redbook CD player for 6K to 8K? Guidocorona, can't speak for anyone else, but when it comes to the digital players I re-design, I am honoring the original "factory" warranty they have, regardless of the failure. Actually, there is nothing much to break in a digital player except... | |
| Problem advice please Well, sorry to say but Denon will not work on a modded player. Experienced local tech is your only hope, unless John Tucker wants to take a look at it. Regards, Alex | |
| Problem advice please Bluemike, given your FLD display tube is still fine (which I am almost 100% sure it is fine), I'd say that the repair should be in the $200 range, max. Depending on your location shop rates, you may even get it fixed for as low as $70.If for some ... | |
| Problem advice please The display of the Denon 2900 is not LCD; it is FLD which does not require illumination light. It produces light on its own. Since the player is still functional, you should really check the settings as there is "Display OFF" function. If this is ... |
