| APL NWO2.5 ? Ah... price anyone? Or is this a case of "if you have to ask you can't afford it" audiophile snobbery? | |
| APL NWO2.5 ? Can someone tell me what the price of the NWO-2.5 will be? | |
| QUAD vs Martin Logan vs Magnepan Mrtennis,which model did you listen to? I've heard the older models and found them to be anemic. The DCM5 were launched a couple of years ago. Supposedly it addresses the timid bass and difficult drive, and plays more loudly due to it's 8mm total ... | |
| QUAD vs Martin Logan vs Magnepan How about the more esoteric Audiostatic DCM5? Too bad the company has no US distributor. I bet they are a match or better than any of the above with competitive pricing and the most beautiful. | |
| non over sampling DAC better than 24/96 or192 DAC? I prefer the sound of NOS designs because they sound more natural to me. I'm an amateur classical guitarist and dabbled in playing the piano and sax when I was younger. Vocals, piano, guitar, sax in particular sounds more like the real thing on NO... | |
| Anyone hear Dk Design VS1 Mk. 2 with Hyperion 938? Hi Erik,I decided not to go with the DK - waiting for a custom made tube amp. Kef 104/2s were good speakers for their time, but no where in the league of the 938s. | |
| DAC for Olive musica The point of the transport on the Olive is to make a copy of your CD onto the hard drive, not to play CDs directly from the transport. Using hard drive, in theory, is much better than a CD transport in terms of noise. HD proponents claim that it i... | |
| DAC for Olive musica BTW, the Monarchy M24 DAC is a rebadged, modified DAC from LiTe Audio. The unmodded LiTe Audio DAC is close to half the price. You'd be surprised how many US manufacturers do mods to a Chinese unit and rebadge and sell it for significantly higher ... | |
| DAC for Olive musica Sorry James, did not mean to stray from the subject. Try looking into Scott Nixon's tube DAC, Ack! DAC, various DACs from LiTe Audio - they are all reasonably priced from $200-700. | |
| DAC for Olive musica Gmood, you make a good point - I have not heard the DAC. I was not commenting on the actual sound of the unit, but the the unit's cost relative the cost of its parts. Yes, for those who spend $15k on a CDP, this is peanuts. But then again someone ... | |
| DAC for Olive musica Some good reviews on the Attraction DAC, but charging close to $1600 for one of the worst DACs, the TDA1543 ($2 a chip) with it's high distortion and low resolution, seems a bit much. I know he did some proprietary work, but this is something you ... | |
| Audio Physic Scorpio I heard the Dali MS5 (several auditions at a well regarded highend dealer in LA), but I thought the Hyperions were better. | |
| speaker comparison Not exactly sure what you guys mean by shouty because I never had any bad sound from my Hyperion 938s. Before I bought these, I listened to the Dali MS5 (I think they go for over $10k) on 3 different auditions with ultra highend electronics in a w... | |
| What`s with the Hyperion HPS 938 I don't think any of us has heard them yet. | |
| Low level listening electrostats are low sensitivity (quads are exceptions) and has superb low resolution. |
