| Higher End DACs David and Khiak,Guys you haven’t scratched the surface of the T+A SDV 3100 true performance. We have compared the built in streamer vs USB via the Innous Statement and the USB sounds way better as well as allowing full high resolution digital sign... | |
| Lumin X1 or dCS Bartok Fiza, your explanation of your findings is not based on fact.Lumin uses Lundhal output transformers which acts as a buffer between the output stage and the incomming signal from the Luimin into the preamplfier or power amplifier.A Macintosh ampli... | |
| MSB vs dCS Bartok RFC the T+A products are generally available all over the world they may not have a proper distributor in your country but you may be able to get a sample sent to you. In terms of that rhythmic punchy quality nothing sounds like a Naim, you can dr... | |
| Has anyone heard the new PS Audio Strata, Integrated Amp/DAC/streamer? Chrshani these products are perfect for the new buyer just entering the market, the fact that the NAD piece is part of a broad high performance echo system which allows for sound via the same interface to be played throughout a house is a wonderfu... | |
| upgrade Dynaudio Special 40 to Kef Reference 1 The real question is what are you trying to do?Changing the speakers will be an apples to oranges change.the Kefs are more transparent, more dynamic, and less colored, they also go lower and sound bigger, they also image with both a large and well... | |
| Has anyone heard the new PS Audio Strata, Integrated Amp/DAC/streamer? Kren the NAD M10 is using a hypex based amplifier the sound quality of that product shows its hypex roots.The M10 is a nice sounding product we dramatically prefer the warmer punchier Naim sound.The new M33 is a different league we heard one durin... | |
| upgrade Dynaudio Special 40 to Kef Reference 1 We are a Kef dealer so yes we are going to be biased, however, the Kef Ref 1 in our opinion will be a substantial upgrade.Tale of the tape Dyanudio vs Kef Ref 1Dynaudio is a two way vs Kef Ref 1 a true three wayKef Ref 1 offers very deep bass for ... | |
| 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. |
