| Anyone heard the Von Schweikert Unifield 3? I've auditioned them. I thought the Japanese wide-band midrange paper cone from is a gem. Very transparent immediate midrange. But I found something better and cheaper that suits my taste even more. | |
| What DAC chip used in Berkeley Audio Design DAC? Why does Romy not post here? Was he banned? | |
| What DAC chip used in Berkeley Audio Design DAC? The pictures are of the PM DAC, which I have seen first hand in the past. If only Romy could get a command of the English language, he would be up for a Pulitzer. | |
| What DAC chip used in Berkeley Audio Design DAC? Thanks! Will take a look. | |
| Most intriguing DAC? Hi Jamiehughburr, are you upgrading to the Signature DAC or the outrageously expensive Diamond DAC? | |
| Most intriguing DAC? hi montejay, I am glad to hear you had such good experience with sacd. I have been under impression PCM hi red formats are as good if not better than sacd. Of course implementation is more important than format in this case considering real world ... | |
| Is it the transport or DAC that enables HDCD/Red? I believe there is a specialized chip for HDCD decoding (Pacific Microsonics), usually located in the DAC or CD player unit. | |
| Most intriguing DAC? Montejay, I agree. Lack of SACD is a downer but I wonder if they played any PCM hi rez (eg, HRx by Reference Recordings, 24 bit, 176 kHz) instead of just RB CD recordings? I have a feeling these hi rez formats may sound better than SACD. | |
| Most intriguing DAC? Montejay, I saw that review on Salvatore site. They evaluated the unit with no upgrades, but it still got "lower A" rating. Psacanli, I have no idea which DAC chip Berkley Audio uses or how it's implemented so I don't know if it is really innovati... | |
| Most intriguing DAC? Marvin, I believe MSB Platinum III goes for around 6 or 7 grand. This is expensive but not that expensive compared to $10k+ DACs and CDP that are regularly discussed on this forum. | |
| Most intriguing DAC? didn't Al Gore invent the internet? Seriously I know Theta was one of the first to put out an outboard DAC but it's not the point of this thread. Just trying to find out if anyone has firsthand experience with MSB Platinum DAC III. Very few have t... | |
| Most intriguing DAC? Only formal review of the MSB Platinum DAC III was in Bound for Sound years ago. I know DIYers who could only dream of building a discrete DAC. Discrete resistor in the 0.001% tolerance is pretty remarkable. I think AMR is contemplating such a DAC... | |
| Favorite Speakers at RMAF Thanks. When I audition the Sasons with the MA-1s at RSA next month, I will make a decision on the amps. | |
| Favorite Speakers at RMAF Hi Ralph,Seriously, I would like to see custom automotive paint for the black part of the chassis on the MA-1s and chromed finish for the polished metal part of the amp. How much would this add Ralph? | |
| Favorite Speakers at RMAF I'm sure Ralph wouldn't mind adding some bling bling to his amps, like one of those auto-rotating rims you see on those pimped out Cadillac Escalades :) |
