| Playback Designs MPS-5 - Measerments v. Sound Isaac, thanks for your added input and images. The more sources that hear the same thing, the better. | |
| Playback Designs MPS-5 Review in Stereophile Generally, I don't think it's in Mr. Koch's nature to come on here and answer your questions. Didn't the XDS1 come out in 2009. If so, Andreas had left well before it's release.I have compared the MPS-5 to Emm's prior one-box SACD/CD player and th... | |
| Playback Designs MPS-5 - Measerments v. Sound Kiwi, at the time I had a modded Pioneer in my system. I'd listened to Emm, dCS and others at shows, but never in my system. I had a PS Audio Lamda and one of their DACs from the early 1990s, but mechanical failure had done them in.Ric Shultz and ... | |
| Playback Designs MPS-5 Review in Stereophile Jb0194 woke up on Valentine's Day and just needed to say something. It didn't matter if it made sense, apparently. | |
| Playback Designs MPS-5 - Measerments v. Sound Kops, you can go to AES/EBU, S/PDIF or TOSLINK to achieve 192 kHz/24-bit operation with the Playback Designs today. I'm not sure what you mean when you say "future proof". With USB, the PD's firmware can be updated (it has been a couple of times s... | |
| Playback Designs MPS-5 - Measerments v. Sound Eactly Guido.The PD was using its own internal clock. We simply transferred the CD or SACD to its tray after the Esoteric. I remember that we had your CD, but don't recall if we listened to any of my SACDs.Dave | |
| Playback Designs MPS-5 - Measerments v. Sound I was with Guido when the Esoteric stack and PD were compared and I disagreed with him at the time. IMO, the Esoteric only got close when we inserted Guido's high-dollar Audioquest IC (was it the "River" Guido, or something like that?). I still pr... | |
| Footers for Esoteric SA50 CD-SACD Player I put an HRS M3 isolation platform under my Playback Designs MPS-5 for considerable added impact in the bass and a general clarity enhancement. Not cheap, but very effective for the better units, such as your Esoteric. | |
| Review: Analysis Plus Solo Crystal Oval 8 Speaker cable Hey Bassphil,I must say that I also have an A-P 1/4" guitar cable and it's absolutely top of the heap.A few years ago I did an extensive comparison of guitar cables for Just Jazz Guitar, comparing bottom-of-the-closet generics, all the way up to a... | |
| What is the best DAC ever made? Playback Designs, either as a stand-along DAC or as part of the MPS-5 disc player.Dave | |
| Anyone Heard the New Soundsmith Sussurro Cartridge Raul, you seem to think that I'm talking to you. I'm not. | |
| Anyone Heard the New Soundsmith Sussurro Cartridge It's best to listen to cartridges for yourself, if at all possible. Stats thrown up by a jealous competitor are worthless.Dave | |
| Anyone Heard the New Soundsmith Sussurro Cartridge Ah, I just read Mike's post about the Sussurro on the Tere TT. I heard it on the HRX, just for the record. | |
| Anyone Heard the New Soundsmith Sussurro Cartridge Getting back to the Sussuro and, hopefully ending Raul's latest attack, the Sussuro sounded much like the excellent sounding strain gauge, but I personally prefer the more full-bodied sound of the The Voice. Compared to the best digital sources (l... | |
| How is the Oppo 983H as a 2ch Music Transport? Just for fun, I tried mine with my Playback Designs and it was excellent. I keep it around as a backup trasnport. |
