| Bidat vs Perfect Wave vs Weiss and others Im glad you like the Weiss, mine is going back in the morning. Still wondering where you heard the 777 and with what equipment.Far as walking in a room and having it sound live...I have even read so called golden eared magazine reviewers claim to ... | |
| Bidat vs Perfect Wave vs Weiss and others As I stated, for me musicality is realism (rarely do I concern myself with what others claim regarding musicality and what is capable in the area of reproduced music). Since I have owned Tube Research Labs gear (amps/preamp).., Bidat...etc. I have... | |
| Bidat vs Perfect Wave vs Weiss and others I have never understood audiophiles claiming not to listen for musicality but rather realism...I have always been of the school of thought that music should sound musical (hence real)... Anything else sounds like an oxymoron (or a lot of bad noise... | |
| Bidat vs Perfect Wave vs Weiss and others Tbg: I want to clarify and agree that system changes can obviously make a difference in the sound of a product. What I meant to convey was that all items used in the comparison were identical....PC's/ interconnect /digital cables...etc, thus the o... | |
| Bidat vs Perfect Wave vs Weiss and others Tbg: Mileage does vary so to speak. I did as mentioned use a Firewire (Entreq) connector and my beloved glass TOS and the sound was nearly identical and I was not moved at all by either. To me as stated above the sound was crystal clear but totall... | |
| Bidat vs Perfect Wave vs Weiss and others We used exclusively the AMR 777 as the transport and as I stated above I completely forgot to bring my resident FIM Gold Coax or my glass TOS. The audition was performed the afternoon of Super Bowl Sunday. I did not take or use my Mac Mini which i... | |
| Bidat vs Perfect Wave vs Weiss and others Very interesting Argyro. I would love to hear a Medea one day. I don't wish to keep ragging on the Minerva as I'm sure people who have followed this thread know my opinion on it's sound :). I appreciateyour comments. | |
| Bidat vs Perfect Wave vs Weiss and others One thing I forgot about in my test of the Bidat vs the AMR is the use of the digital cable. I used my buddies which I'm unfamiliar with. The two best digital cables I have ever used and which I own are the FIM gold coax digital and the Monarchy g... | |
| Bidat vs Perfect Wave vs Weiss and others This is an addendum to my last post. I want to be sure that I emphasize that the differences between the Bidat and the AMR 77 are not major. They are very close in sonics, but I do believe (at least on the majority of the recordings) that a bit of... | |
| Bidat vs Perfect Wave vs Weiss and others Ok, so today I took my Bidat (Plus) and the Weiss to my buddies place to compare the 3 to the latest version of the AMR 77 (I also listened to the AMR 777 little brother player). I only took the Weiss so my friend could hear if for himself, I knew... | |
| Bidat vs Perfect Wave vs Weiss and others Mattzack2: I feel your pain :)The Weiss is not staying, Ive just been comparing it to my Bidat (with the Plus Mod) and the Weiss was DESTROYED and I mean shamefully so. I am careful with my reviews and I don't post a greta deal becasue for one thi... | |
| Bidat vs Perfect Wave vs Weiss and others Thanks Fplanner2010, I would like to hear this unit. Perhaps i will get a chance to do just that one day. | |
| Accustic Arts Tube Dac II or Berkley Alpha DAC Glory: I just compared my very old Museatex DCC-1 to the Weiss Minerva and I can personally tell you not only did it fair well, it sounded better to these ears. More musical and more of the overall gestalt of the emotional content was present. I d... | |
| Bidat vs Perfect Wave vs Weiss and others Fplanner2010: I can honestly tell you at this point I am only interested in the dacs I mentioned, i.e. MSB / Playback Designs / PS Audio. Oh yeah, I will have access to the very latest and greatest AMR 77 so I will be comparing all 3 the Weiss and... | |
| PS Audio Perfect Wave Transport/DAC experiences Srwooten: Are you referring to the PS Audio or the Minerva? I do not recall seeing a USB port on the Minerva. Also I submit that ANYONE using plastic Tos-link cables has no idea what Tos can sound like when implemented with a good real-glass cable... |
