| Integrateds: Why do they all SUCK? Madavido, your perception of modern circuit design is way skewed."Digital volume control schemes, usually some kind of electronically-controlled resistor ladder."If you are switching in individual resistors on a chip or using an optical encoder to... | |
| Dealer recommendation for Yamaha, Elac, Metrum Acoustics, Auralic, VPI Prime As a soon to be Elac dealer I would agree with helotech.Unless you have heard the above combo you might not love it together.I would ask why these specific pieces?An Aries G2 may be excellent but then why exclude a matching dac?Or maybe an integra... | |
| Replace my DAC or not? We have some experience in this issue. Last year we had a client trade up a much newer DCS piece then the older DCS piece you have, he traded in a Pucchini a $18k Dac/CD player, and the client purchased a Lumin A1 which sounded signfigently bette... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Hey Matt, thanks again, for the demo and the video it was totally fun.Reverendo, there is no update to the 20G as it is a much more sophiticated product, and it is really mind blowing, probably the most advanced and best sounding usb cable on the ... | |
| Why do many discussions about sonic performance disintegrate into technical discusions? George, Technology is in reality in terms of subjective ways of telling a difference are useless in correlation to what you can perceive.The only way to know the affect on a circuit of a particular part is to build x then take out the part in que... | |

| Belles Greatest Integrated ever! The Virtuoso Yes Audiozen, Belles is better than Gryphon, Vitus, T+A, D'agastino, Audio Research, Dartzeel, Conrad Johnson, sure. Sure at all the shows all those mega speaker companies aren't showing with Belles because of a retail conspiracy. Sure David Belle... | |

| Belles Greatest Integrated ever! The Virtuoso Audiozen,Horse hockey. Just for the facts we had auditioned Belles last series of electronics, we broke them in for a week and listened to them.They were okay at best no magic, no giant killing anything. We read the Aria review and maybe that piec... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Does Amara have a Windows version?I think the memory player can only run Jriver. | |
| Belles Greatest Integrated ever! The Virtuoso Audiozen come on, only Belles makes musical electronics?If Belles products were so remarkable why are there next to no dealers.Yes the Aria does sound like a terrific integrated with a phono, but is it better than an Electrocompaniet or a Unison R... | |
| What's Next Good choice. It will take a $60k and above price range to better what you have. Personally I would recomend an electronics change.Dave and TroyAudio Doctor | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Nitewolf, the Davinci has two completely separate dacs in one chassis.There is a pure resisitor ladder as well as a sigma delta engine for DSD and both enginges sound fantastic. There is a lot of innovative ideas in the Davinci and the excution ... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Imgoodwithtools, we had a customer bring in his Berkley Ref 1 which I know in'st the latest howerver we compared it to our Davinci Dual Dac MK I which isn't as good as the newer MK II. So it was a fair title match up last series of each head to he... | |
