| IS THE WEISS 204 A SUBSTANIAL UPGRADE FRON THE CHORD QUTEST Following. I can’t decide wether to buy a DDC to go with my Pontus ll or get a different DAC. | |
| How Many Times Do You Have To Listen To Understand A Piece Of Music? If I’m being screamed at, I don’t like it. If it’s extremely violent, I don’t like it. If it’s is disjointed, I don’t like it. If it sounds like I’m being preached at, I don’t like it. And I usually know within a few measures. I don’t have to... | |

| Hermes added, question @kingbr Thanks for the reply. It sounds easier than I had thought. | |
| Hermes added, question I’ve been thinking about getting a DDC to go with my Pontus ll and I was wondering what will I need to connect a Hermes to my system? Thanks | |
