| Digital Music sounds too bright? TV (reflective glass surface) behind/between speakers kills soundstage and imaging unless your speakers are built into wall cabinets in which case there is no soundstage or imaging to kill. Dave | |
| Test your DAC! Free Format Comparison. Correction to last sentence re: "Impromptu": The native DSD64 file has a blacker background, more detail, with the acoustic bass focused on the neck and the piano "smoother" dynamically & slightly bashful harmonically while the native 192/24 F... | |
| Test your DAC! Free Format Comparison. Sorry, George, my Music Server and DAC only do DSD via DoP, but I can hear differences in the DXD vs the PCM 192 wav vs the Flac 352 files. The native DXD file sounds cleaner and blacker with more detail and better image specificity. If you decide... | |

| Full MQA music list. Yes, jond, it comes and goes and completely eludes attempts to find repeatable root cause IME. Dave | |
| what speakers to buy Yes shadorne I did read it and feel you made a very valid point re: the Focal opportunity. I heard Focals once at SR’s development center and was impressed and also at an RMAF with a similarly positive impression.My comment was aimed at what I see... | |
| Support table or shelf for turntable You may find this helpful in explaining the benefits and pitfalls of different solutions: http://symposiumusa.com/UltraAnalog.html I like the idea of both "isolating" the rig from external vibration while simultaneously draining the plinth and bea... | |
| what speakers to buy Wow. When shadorne becomes inflamed about you pushing brands, you know you have violated all objectivity.Dave |
