| Magico Room at RAMF How good did it sound Team212,I heard these speakers also at the RMAF on friday. I agree with your impression, I found them uninvolving and absent in the ability to convey the emotion/beauty of music. The sound was mechanical IMO. | |
| Yamamoto YDA 01 DAC Hi,Pani the bass is very much like the Yamamoto`s (meaning very good) it at this early stage is controlled and natural. I would say it has good articulation and notes are distinct. I`ve not noticed bloated or "one note" bass issues thus far. There... | |
| Yamamoto YDA 01 DAC Forgot to mention that the Octave has a seperate 14VA power supply and is non oversampling and based on the R/2R architecture. Due to it being NOS I expected it to be natural and somewhat smooth. What surprised me are the dynamics,detail-articulat... | |
| Yamamoto YDA 01 DAC Well at last my Metrum Octave came today(praise the lord!)Within 20 minutes I had it setup and playing. To get right to the point, this thing is special,very special. Cees warns of initial brightness and says in several weeks the Octave settles in... | |
| Yamamoto YDA 01 DAC Hi Onemug,Your DAC sounds like quite a find. Is it NOS, multibit,R/2R or Delta Sigma based?I love simple circuits coupled with strong power supplies.UPS tracking now says my DAC will come tomorrow( good thing I`m a patient man). | |
| Are CD players dead Roxy54 and Rocketman,Agree with both of you, enough already with this redundant topic.Millions upon millions of CDs with millions of folks who still enjoy and buy them. | |
| Yamamoto YDA 01 DAC Well, per UPS my Metrum Octave should arrive today. If so I`ll post out of the box impressions and then followup after appropriate burn-in. | |
| Yamamoto YDA 01 DAC Hi,Staehli, sorry to hear about your problems with the Metrum. Ironically the upper frequency performance of the DAC is cited as one of it`s strenths in reviews and feedback from nearly all early owners.No etch,edge or brightness(yet very high res... | |
| 1K dac Srajan Ebaen thinks quite highly of the CEntrance DAC, higher resolution and detail retrival than the Burson DACs(but lacks the Burson`s density and body).The Metrum lacks the feature set and flexibility of either but combines both very high resol... | |
| Are Disc Players Dead? These above examples concerning hard drives and computers really seem to validate Nglazer`s main point, this is still very much a work in progress with a ways to go yet. | |
| Best 300B Calloway,Much praise has been wriiten about the Royal Princess. It seems it has serious competition in price and performance from the Takatsuki TA300b made in Japan.I would love the opprotunuty to compare these two. | |
| 1K dac Customcoco, If you`re still looking,on 6 moons.com there`s a current review of the CEtrance DAC with comparisons to both the Burson and Metrum Octave DACs. | |
| My audiophile take on the symphony last night. Good thread! I believe when one becomes very focused on the "sound" the beauty and musical message can become quite obscure. One can tailor a system to meet desired sound preferences which may have little to do with actural instruments played live... | |
| An interesting Digital vs. Analog experience Tmsorosk,I agree with you, to each his own as either format can work very well for me. For some reason though, vinyl advocates are more likely to use the soapbox and preach to digital users more so than the other way around it seems,strange. | |
| An interesting Digital vs. Analog experience Tmsorosk,It does`nt matter, the vinyl-digital threads inevitably become the Hatfields vs McCoys, just check the countless previous ones per the archives. |
