| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Has anyone heard the new Reimyo DAP-777 (mkII)? If so, how does its presentation differ from the old model?Here is a nice review of it:http://www.ultraaudio.com/equipment/reimyo_dap777.htm | |
| EMM vs Remiyo Alex and/or Jeffreyb,Which front end does a better job at resolving the venue information, spatial cues, and ambient information on "Jazz at the Pawnshop"?Thanks. | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective John,Thank you. I haven't heard the two side by side but I would have thought that the AA Cap II would have been pretty much on par with the Reimyo and that significant difference in price could not be justified. Interesting.Yes, the CD duplicator... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Teajay,I just listen to the Accustic Arts gear for about an hour. The Stealth cable should arrive in 2 to 4 days.The AA is better than it was last weekend and much better than it was in the very early stages. At this point I can honestly say that ... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective John,Welcome to the thread and thanks for the tip on the balanced inputs. If I buy a Callisto I will keep this in mind when looking at DACs.Have you ever compared your Manley DAC to some of the newer DACs that are being discussed in this thread? | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective My amps sound quiet but boring with balanced connection. RCA sounds much better. I'm not sure about DAC to pre since my pre doesn't have balanced inputs.Though the Callisto is balanced I think I would run it single-ended. In J. Valin's review he p... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Branimir,Thank you for your suggestions.I used the internal pre of the DCC2 for about 8 months. It is very good. I moved to the Hovland this summer. It is better than the the DCC2 pre but I knew then that it would be a transition piece. I'm consid... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Teajay,My present tube preamp isn't flavour #2 enough for my taste. What I want to do is either tube roll or find a different preamp. Once I have the rest of the system in place I will then be in a better position to look into my source components... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Excellent; thank you. I will always own a very good tube preamp because I view it as the heart of my system. | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Branimir,Here's a tough question:If you were only allowed to have one digital frond end to play redbook CDs, which would it be:WeissARCAudio AeroThanks. | |
| How come there is no thread on the RealityCheck? Aproximately 1.5 amps per rail.Make sure to look at the unit first to see what you are getting into. There a *lots* of conections to deal with.Off the shelf linears are one not the best approach because the power supply should be decoupled within ... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Teajay,I've only heard the MBL digital gear in a couple of all-MBL systems. I must have liked them because I ended up buying the speakers. :-)By the way, I did manage to get a Stealth cable to try with the AA. It should arrive before Friday. Break... | |
| How come there is no thread on the RealityCheck? I had a linear power supply custom made from individual parts. All I really know is that I now have a two-box unit and that there are some relatively big transformers and new capacitors in the boxes. Now that I know that it works great I will ask ... | |
| How come there is no thread on the RealityCheck? RealityCheck with Linear Power Supply ModificationIf one were to express the difference between duplicates made with the RealityCheck (RC) and original compact discs (CD) in percentage terms, one could argue that the duplicates are 20% better than... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective I have sent an email to STEALTH in the hopes of securing a Vardig Sextet AES/EBU cable.As it turns out, I will not be receiving a CDSD this month (maybe next month, or maybe not). I've been told that they will be showing a new version of the CDSD ... |
