| Has anyone heard the new PS Audio Strata, Integrated Amp/DAC/streamer? Just a couple of points, the price in the UK shows 3000 British pounds which would mean a price of $3,500.00+ in the USAs per power if they are saying 200 watts into a 4 ohm load that means 100 watts into an 8 ohm load.If you are going to spend $3... | |
| Vimberg Speakers Smodactal, did you test the speakers side by side on the same system or in two different systems?What we said was the Vimberg Tonda D setup at Axpona was magnificent and other setups of the Tidals were not more magical considering the humongous pr... | |
| Higher End DACs Djones there is no level matching when doing a digital to digital comparison.All tests are done under the exact same conditions.In the case of the Laptop vs the Innous server, 1: Play Music track 1 min interval, mark passage duration on Roon2: Dis... | |
| Vitus versus Gryphon Here is our take on these two fabulous beastsin general Vitus gear is sweat sounding, with a perhaps a bit more lively of a sound, with a bit less slam then the Gryphon, At a few shows the Diablo 300 sounded good but was not the wow inducing soun... | |
| Higher End DACs This is an interesting discussion, that we have a tremendous amount of experience in. The entire argument, that "bits is bits" or that digital transport devices don’t or can’t make an audible difference because a dac has re-clocking or anti jitter... | |
| Higher End DACs Dmance, sorry no. Toslink is the least preferable way to get a digital signal into a dac, this doesn't validate your testing.Toslink has limited bandwidth and doesn't provide for asyncronous data transfer which enables the dac to control clocking ... | |
| Higher End DACs Dmance your findings seem strange, first you don't list any of the components you are testing. Second you have only optical going in or out is that an optical cable from the dac to the server? Or some ethernet to optical and optical back to ethern... | |
| Higher End DACs Thank you David Ten for re steering the conversation.The OP should try to listen to whatever product or products that work for him. | |
| Higher End DACs Really Bo we have hundreds of satisfied clients, it is totally possible that we have one disgruntled NYC client, in fact we probably know exactly who you are talking about he has had issues with the way we present and or talk to clients at shows, ... | |
| Vimberg Speakers Azjake hello. Yes the Vimberg speakers are very close to the Tidals, we have heard both extensively at Axpona, at Axpona 2019 the setup of the Tonda D was absolutely superb. In fact we signed on to be Vimberg dealers because of this demo.The Tonda... | |
| Higher End DACs Ufguy, MQA will be a software upgrade for the T+A so you shouldn’t preclude it from your search for that reason alone.The reason that update isn’t imminant is that T+A’s engineers are busy with the launch of their new Headphone amp, dac, so we are... | |
| Higher End DACs 4425 at this price point it will of course come down to taste, features, philosophy and of course sonic palatte.Mr. Harly has the enviable task of testing the latest and greatest in digital so it is only logical he will endorse or non endorse a pa... | |
| Higher End DACs 4425 we loved your statement, wiw i searched for all reviews of the bartok and can’t remember a product receiving such universal praise. i’m getting one for sure. Please look at the Lumin X1 which has received more rave reviews than almost any... | |
| Higher End DACs Okay, guys lets get this into perspective, most of you do not have a store full of dacs we do!The unfortunate point of all of this is there is good, there is better and there is the best of these kinds of products. In this case ingnorance is bliss... | |
| Innuos - New Re-Clocker Guess it depends on your dealership, we are one of Innous's top US dealers so we got our right away.It may also be a supply and demand thing, the first batch of 30 units went immediately. They might have cauught up with supply by now. The current ... |
