| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Exlibris and Teajay, first-my Sextet Digital(AES/EBU) is on its way here... I will have it in two weeks time, more in one month... Second, very best non-upsampling digital gear is(or one of) ARC REF CD7(and CD3MkII is also non-upsampling). You bot... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Exlibris, very nice review of Stealth cable! I will try to get two of them in January... I see that you are thinking about Weiss Medea? Few tips from me: very long break-in period(500hours), you need excellent power cord and with cheeper cd transp... | |
| Best power amp below US $ 20.000,00 ?? Hi Adam, lots of advices?OK. Tubes:ARC REF210, VTL S-400 Solid state: Ayre V1xe, CJ Premier350, Pass X350.5 or Plinius SA ReferenceKeep in mind that CJ inverts phase...Happy hunting! | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Exlibris, Do you really belive that everything that John Potis said in his review is the whole truth? First, we do not know was he using Zero One Ar38 dac or his Audio Aero Prima SE(both, IMO are middle of the road pieces). Second, Green Day "Amer... | |
| DartZeel compared to Pass Labs XA-160/200's Downunder, as Elberoth2 said Anniversario's could be driven with lower power tube amp. But, from my experience you will need 70W tube amp or 100W ss amp for start.Tube amp should be able to handle 4ohm load as well as ss amp. We all know that some... | |
| DartZeel compared to Pass Labs XA-160/200's Teajay, I was suprised when my friend told me that be bought DartZeel NHB108. He is having same Amati Anniversario speaker as I do. So, two days ago I visit him and we listen to his system(Anniversario,NHB108,NHB18 and ARC CD3MkII)... Results? Wel... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Teajay, I have that TAS(electronic subsrciption) and Mr.Cordesman review is excellent(better IMO then also excellent review of Evolution's in HifiNews by M.Colloms) and I expect same kind of style when he will review Krell LAT-1000 in few issues(I... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Henrykh, dCS,EMMLabs and Lindemann are only digital gear(so far?) that do not convert SACD signal to PCM for SACD playback. Audio Aero, Esoteric and some others convert SACD signal(digitally) into PCM for SACD playback.Why?? Well, there is no simp... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Exlibris, I did audition EMMLabs DCC2/CDSD only at dealers but, after CES I will have it and Esoteric D-01/P-01/G-0s combo in both of my systems for at least two weeks...In spring Esoteric will also have 'smaller' D-03/P-03/G-0s combo as well and ... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Exlibris, your description of RBCD sound of Prestige SACD is allmost the same as mine. But, to my ears it felt short in bass power(and tightness), midrange coherence and details in highs compared to ARC REF CD7.Were you using Prestige SACD directl... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Exlibris, I agree with Teajay on Reimyo DAP-777MkII. So, you compared Audio Aero Prestige SACD against your DCC2?Your findings? I have Prestige SACD for two weeks now and do not know what to do... To buy it or not for my office system? IMO it is n... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Fcrowder, I agree with you. Einstein Pre is very good and interesting preamp but, it is a fully balanced design. It can be used with single-ended amps and source gear as you pointed out in your system thread but, it will sound very best via balanc... | |
| Kharma Midi vs. Sonus Faber Stradivari Amati Greg, Regarding orchestral music you are right. But, room size,other gear in system, etc. are also important issue.My friend bought Strad based on same findings as yours.I heard Strad in a smaller room and it overpowered it easy in midbass.Just ou... | |
| Krell F.B.I. Krell logo is above F.B.I. sign at the amp.Thanks Nrchy! | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Exlibris, you can try Manley Wave as possible replacment for your Hovland HP200. Also, what about DCC2 without pre(use its internal pre)? Any downsides(I have never listen to DCC2 without pre)? Jadis is very #2 flavor sounding gear, try it if you ... |
