| If you were to market a product, what would you do? Hi Bigkidz,I am a fan of DHT tubes, Psvane W.E. Replica 101D in my Line Stage and EML XLS 300b in my amplifier. If your DAC is going to be used in an audio show I’d like to hear it. I believe that the 101D is a superb sounding tube. Best of luck... | |
| If you were to market a product, what would you do? Bigkidz, Thanks very much. This DAC is quite unique and interesting. I have the 101d tubes in my preamplifier and they are extraordinary IMO.Charles | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Sbayne, For the record I'm with David and find your comments insightful and very worthwhile. I just expect a wide array of perspective on an open audio forum. We are each unique individuals who bring their respective experiences and biases. Char... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts I don’t sense that anyone is suggesting that "natural/organic " and detail are incompatible or an either/or proposition. I agree with Sbayne, by definition if it’s truly natural then detail is present, alive and well. I do accept the premise that ... | |
| If you were to market a product, what would you do? Hi Bigkidz, What is the price of your DHT DAC? What DHT tube have you chosen. The concept is very intriguing, what is the I/V conversion approach?Are you a proponent of R2R ladder or delta sigma? Either can be excellent. Do you have any current pi... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Musikmann,Agree with your comment and for certain Kenny knows that as well. Emphasis on the chip type or R2R ladder architecture can be overstated. I/V conversion, analog stage design and power supply quality are as important (if not perhaps even ... | |
| Member's recommendations for tube amplification Hi Mountainsong, The Italians make some really fine 845 SET amplifiers Mastersound Audio Frontiers Viva , which I'm most familiar with and they sound superb. Well implemented 845 SETs are beautiful sounding for sure. It's good to see you soon thor... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hi Tom,The distinction you hear between the two DACs is what I would expect. The Perfect Wave is quite a good sounding source, no doubt. The Concert Fidelity DAC does elevate you to a higher tier, more life like and organic. A more emotional list... | |
| Why do Asian looks for old Wadia CDP at high price? Jond,You made an excellent choice. I came oh so close to buying a used AN DAC 3 or 4 level at one time. I am certain that I'd been very happy with it. Personally I don't find many of the newer generation DACs necessarily better sounding, just ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Jcarcopo, It’s the Japanese Concert Fidelity DAC and exceptionally good sounding. It’s a non over sampling design and ln my opinion is "very" natural in sonic character. Charles | |
| Why do Asian looks for old Wadia CDP at high price? I believe that George is more on target than Randy's explanation. Charles | |
| AN-E-SPE-HE Advice Hi abill, Perhaps my bias but I believe that in terms of musical presentation and engagement it’s hard to beat a high quality well implemented paper driver. I agree with Jond, you have very high quality electronics and I cannot forsee any reason t... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Tom, I have heard that DAC in an all Concert Fidelity system a few times and the sound on each occasion was pure natural music! I believe that you'll be very happy with it. Charles | |
| Member's recommendations for tube amplification David,That would be my guess and the fact this was a pretty popular VAC amplifier so there are more of them available. Charles | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Rockytophigh, Congratulations and it's good to read that you're extremely pleased, that is terrific. What amplifier are you driving the DIs with?Charles |
