| Clock synchronization issue? Just an update...I tried using an Arcam CD player as a transport, feeding the Simaudio 650D through the same S/PDIF rca input as the Sooloos. The sound was perfect - pretty much identical to using the 650D's own transport.So, this must be an issue... | |
| Has anyone heard the SimAudio 650D? Thanks Llcan. If the dealer was comparing cd playback on the 650D to the digital input of the Debussy then for sure that's not "apples to apples". I've found different digital coax cables to influence the sound so the cable between the 650D and De... | |
| Has anyone heard the SimAudio 650D? Llcan,What were your impressions of the differences in sound between the 650 and dCS based on your experience at he dealer? | |
| MIT Oracle MA Digital AES/EBU Thanks Richard,Yes, it's a little strange how finicky the Sooloos is. Its performance is impacted not only by digital cable but also by where I place it (it was dynamically flat when placed on the shelf above my amp - much better when moved far aw... | |
| MIT Oracle MA Digital AES/EBU Thanks Richard.Wow, it's really strange but the MIT Oracle I bought from The Cable Company sounds different than you describe between my Sooloos MC 200 and Simaudio 650D dac. In my system the MIT sounds fantastic in many ways but it's a little rol... | |
| MIT Oracle MA Digital AES/EBU Richard,How would you describe the difference in character between the MIT and Acoustic Revive? | |
| MIT Oracle MA Digital AES/EBU I tried the MIT Oracle in my system and although it sounded excellent in many ways I too found it slightly muted and rolled off in the high frequencies. I just couldn't get past the feeling that the sound was lacking that last bit of air and, give... | |
| Has anyone heard the SimAudio 650D? Thea 650D does handle high resolution files. Initially its USB input didn't handle high res files but it now does and older units can have the USB updated to the high res version. All other inputs have always handled high res files. | |
| Has anyone heard the SimAudio 650D? Yeah, the 750D is very "analytical" and almost hyper detailed. The 650D is much smoother and "analogue sounding", as Fremer found and mentioned in his review.I'm curious to see how much the addition of outboard power supplies for the 650D and750D ... | |
| Has anyone heard the SimAudio 650D? I have a 650D but didn't do a lot of comparisons with other high end players. Compared to my previous Marantz 11s1 player, which was very good, the 650D retains the warmth and musicality of the Marantz but is significantly more detailed and reveal... | |
| Anyone auditioned the Cardas Clear? I have.... Funny what was mentioned about the increase in bass initially with it settling down as the cables break in. I had the same experience with the Cardas Clear Power cable. When I first put it in there was a big increase in bass, the high frequencies ... | |
| Simaudio Supernova or Marantz SA-7S1 How did the Ayre compare to the Marantz SA-11S1? Personally I don't find the SA-11S1 warm but I've not really compared it to much. | |
| Simaudio Supernova or Marantz SA-7S1 Or are both these players dated now? I know Simaudio has the 650d and 750d but they are very pricy. Wonder if Marantz has plans to come out with something similar (i.e. that can act as a DAC as well as a cdp)? | |
| Ayre K1xe vs. Simaudio P7, P8 I listened to the Mac C50 pre-amp and the MC452 amp (all solid state Mac gear) and compared it to a bunch of different pre/power amp combinations, including the Simaudio P-7/W-8 combo (which I ended up buying), on Revel Ultima Studio 2 speakers. I... | |
| Does anyone use Simaudio Pre with Krell amps? Hi Mc1sound,As far as I can tell, the P-7 pre-amp generates no heat - it never even gets a little bit warm. I suspect the P-8 pre-amp would also run cool.The W-8 amp is a different story, however. It runs quite hot and needs breathing room. It's g... |
