| dCS Puccini Clock Elgar,it may be worth trying to find a later version of the DCS transport with firewire built in. I dont know which version of the Elgar dac you have, but if it has firewire then you are in good shape as the La scarla and Encore transports have th... | |
| dCS Puccini Clock Elgar,BlackstonedeJd is right, If you are not using the firewire output from the transport you are only getting a small part of the DCS sound. The upsampling to DSD is far better than without. The digital output when compared with the firewire sou... | |
| Has anyone ever cried listening to your system I cried paying for mine and my bank manager wears a black arm band. | |
| dCS Puccini Clock This is the first I have heard about this. I am not sure, but I believe the DSD license may have a part to play in the price. There have been many people trying to block the ability to send hi rez digital outputs to external boxes in domestic equi... | |
| Review: Mye Sound speaker stands Magnepan- MG-20 Tweak It is always interesting reading these posts. I had various magnepans for years. The last one I had was the 3.6r. They brought great happiness too me.For the money I think you get so far down the audiophile road, but at the same time they have so ... | |
| Wadia 861SE with GNSC Statement Upgrade Hi Bar81,I do not understand why you believe I am on a slippery slope or why I should or should not be a poster child. A very confusing post from you there. I was under the impression we were discussing a digital source. I am not sure what your po... | |
| Audio Research Tube AMP Reliability I had many Audio research amps and pre amps. They all worked beautifully. I blow a fuse in one once thats it. | |
| Wadia 861SE with GNSC Statement Upgrade Aolmrd1241,I wouldnt compare a ribbon suspended in a magnetic field to a board full of chips, power supplies, lasers, clocks, decoding software and so on. Lets not get confused now. Yes the Apogee is an old design. Advancements in glues etc have m... | |
| Wadia 861SE with GNSC Statement Upgrade Hi Rtn1,Amen to that. How do you find the 9 series? | |
| Wadia 861SE with GNSC Statement Upgrade Hi guys,I understand we all have differing tastes. What is important to one person may not be important to others. I dont know the Burmester 001 (I know what it looks like!). But the other players I have heard the Esoteric X01 although I think it ... | |
| Wadia 861SE with GNSC Statement Upgrade HI Bar81,maybe there was a problem with the player I had, but I doubt it. Players from that time tend to sound the way I described. I had the internal dip switches set to the right output level, so the volume control was using the last few bits.I ... | |
| Wadia 861SE with GNSC Statement Upgrade Aolmrd1241,Sometimes. The difficulty is finding a good one! I spent many years looking and gave up. There was always a gain and a loss in the pre amps I tried. Never a gain gain if you catch my drift. The ARC ref 3 being the only compromise that I... | |
| Wadia 861SE with GNSC Statement Upgrade Maybe I should qualify the above with the fact that the players with volume control were used so and fed direct into power amps. | |
| If cables can break-in, can they then wear-out? Danmyers,count me in as a Beta tester. Please find my credit card details attached. You mention the various types of metals you have had tested, but I would love to know your thoughts on Iron/iron hybrid cables.Do you have an elixir for wifi conne... | |
| Wadia 861SE with GNSC Statement Upgrade Hi Bombaywalla and Bar 81,Maybe I was unlucky with the Wadia. I always thought in the past Wadia made very desirable CD players. This was the main reason why I tried one out. I tried everything to make it work (cabling/power filtering/isolation). ... |
