wadia 781i vs dcs puccini
I have directly compared the DCS Puccini and the EMM LABS CDSA and I believe that the DCS is better in terms of transparency, resolution, low end, less grainy sound. If I was looking for an one box player right now I would buy the dcs puccini! Wei...

Hi Zee911!Are you talking about the Weiss Medea or the Weiss Vesta?Michael 
Weiss Medea-MAC Pro 16/44 - 24/192 Ultimate Conn
I finally settled at the Weiss Vesta firewire and jitter suppresion interface. I am now using a firewire cable from my Mac Pro to the Weiss Vesta and a AES/EBU from the Vesta to the Medea. That is for sampling rates up to 96khz. For 176.4khz and 1...

Thanks Guys!Alexsee I have seen this card, but its quite expensive, I might as well buy the Weiss Vesta with a Weiss AES/EBU cable just for the peace of mind!i suppose Firewire is the best connection for this kind of applications!Kind Regards,Michael 
Weiss Minerva Dac
Some TOSLINK protocols also support 192khz. But I would only trust firewire, coaxial and AES/EBU! 
Which tubes for Wavac MD805m
I dont know, but my dealer suggested NOT to change the tubes on the 805 cause I would ruin the sound! 
Wavac PR-X2

Gryphon Diablo or Accuphase E-450
I was using the Grpyhon Diablo for 2 years. Trully excellent! 
MBL 101E vs SF Stradivari vs Dynaudio Temptation?
Verity Sarastro!Or Strativari from the ones you mention! 
Anyone heard the Gryphon Trident?
I think the optimum solution for the Trident is a Gryphon amp for highs as well! Otherwise you may have faster or slower lower frequencies than the rest of the spectrum.Just my 2 cents. 
EMM Labs CDSDse
Keep in mind that a friend of mine tried to upgrade the CDSA and caused a malfunction. The response from EMM LABS was that upgrading the units stresses a bit the power supply and this can cause a problem. Its an exception but a think to consider.p... 
Verity Parsifal Ovation vs. Encore?
The Ovation is more energetic on the top that the encore. Someone would say it is more balanced. The encore is somewhat more dark!I could live with both! 
Anyone heard the Gryphon Trident?
What always amazes me about the Rockport line is their bottom end as well as their coherence. Otherwise I think there are better speakers out there. Of course everything is a matter of taste. 
Anyone heard the Gryphon Trident?
In the same category I would also consider the Verity Lohengrin. 
the best CD player between 6'000 - 10'000 $ ?
I own the CDSA and I have absolutely no problem with it!
