| Endgame Vocal+ DAC Help: Terminator Plus 12th vs. Chord DAVE vs. Holo May vs. Weiss502. @nlynchard - Those ProAc speakers were likely a version of their Tablette. | |
| New KEF R11 META : The Real Giant Killers ! @audiocanada - Have to honestly report that the Reference Meta models are at a completely different level of performance when compared to the R Metas.

Or at least how certain you are about it? Very interested in further details as soon as they become availa... | |
| New DACs High End Munich 2023 I simply stated that the HD30 was discontinued, not that it was obsolete or unsupported by Hegel. | |
| New DACs High End Munich 2023 Just an FYI, the Hegel HD30 DAC is discontinued and they currently have no other stand alone DAC in their product line. Hopefully that will change in time... | |
| Audio Mirror Tubadour IV vs Lampizator Amber 4 ASR will provide you with measurements, but nothing about sound quality. | |
| Streamer upgrade - best path forward According to a post from a dealer for HiFi Rose who has their upcoming RS130 on order, the expected US retail is $10K. | |
