| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Matt - really looking forward to your impressions of the Berkeley Reference DAC. Thanks and keep up the good work! | |
| Essence Electrostatic Speakers...A Bold Statement If those speakers actually extend flat to 20 Hz they are breaking all laws of physics not to mention any common sense in doing so. I don't believe it is possible, but in time the truth will come out about them so stay tuned. | |
| Need Help with CD/DAC setup The amp will play whichever source you select on the MH, either the internal CD player or your Wadia transport when you select the digital input that you have connected it to. | |
| Tone of Muisc, SF - worst hifi experience. Yours? I'd suggest finding another dealer, as Tim apparently has no clue how to run an audio store. He sounds so aggravated by trying to accommodate simple requests that he should find another way to make a living. I have no personal experience with this... | |
| Need Help with CD/DAC setup The analog outputs would carry the audio signal to the left and right inputs on your amp, for both internal CD playback as well from the digital inputs if you connect your Wadia transport to one of the digital inputs of the MH. The DAC is being us... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Tbg - I just checked and that room at RMAF was using Ayre Acoustics electronics between the Merging Technologies DAC and the German Physiks speakers. | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Winson, I agree there were some mixed opinions of the room with the Lampi 211 amps vs. the Rowland 625 S2. I own the Rowland 625 and find it stunningly good, and I can only imagine how much better the S2 version must be! | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD And reportedly that system at RMAF sounded far better with the Rowland amp than it did with the Lampizator tube amp that they originally used. | |
| Is it ok to buy a 20 yr old line conditioner from Chang makes a good product and they are honest in my experience, so I'd suggest calling them to ask. Capacitors used in power conditioners that are 20 years old are likely to need replacement, but they would be the ones to confirm whether or not y... | |
| Best DAC for around $10K new or used Having a good local dealer to work with is priceless in this hobby. Once you establish a relationship with them I find most are willing to loan demo gear for in home auditions if you're a legitimate customer. Of course you can't abuse the privileg... | |
| Best DAC for around $10K new or used A very diplomatic and well reasoned response, Ricred1! | |
| Audio grade USB cables The Uptone Audio REGEN does much more than just address the 5 volt power lead. This post is nothing more than a blatant advertisement for the USB Disruptor, and I don't think it is appropriate in this forum. You can buy additional ads to sell your... | |
| Meitner/EMM Labs Firmware Upgrade = Sonic Bliss Doggiehowser - I've seen that you've done many DAC comparisons and find it interesting that you find the DS with Yale OS to significantly outperform your EMM DAC. Have you had a chance to hear the Bricasti M1 DAC in comparison? Interested to know ... | |
| Proac D-30R While some models in the ProAc lineup are being made in two versions as Zd542 described above, in certain markets only one version may be distributed. For example I believe that in the US the 20, 30, and 48 models are only being imported in their ... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD George - While I appreciate the sound quality of DSD, I believe that digital recordings are best represented in whatever format they were originally mastered in. So to my ears music that was originally mastered in DSD sounds best when converted to... |
