| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Branimir,I'm using the new MBL 101E model; I used to use Sound Lab A-1s.I look forward to hearing your comparisons of the various digital front ends.Thanks. | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Branimir,Are you willing to evaluate the CD7 against the Weiss in your System No. 1 so as to rule out the effects of ARC 'system synergy' that may exist in your System No. 2? | |
| How come there is no thread on the RealityCheck? Kana813,Thank you; I'll ask my technician to replace the stock power supply with a battery PS. | |
| How come there is no thread on the RealityCheck? Kana813,When you refer to "jitter" in the following statement,"the unit is powered by a switch mode power supply. The noise level on these supplies can increase jitter in digital equipment"are you referring to mechanical vibration or to clocking p... | |
| Is the EMM DAC6e or DCC2 /CDSD the best out there? Is the EMM DAC6e or DCC2 /CDSD the best out there?I think it would be hard for anyone to answer this question, not so much because audio is so subjective, but because there is just so much out there.I'm trying to pick a handful of DACs to audition... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Branimir,I too owned an ARC CD3 mkII and thought it was a very good piece. I also thought (as you note in a different thread) that it was clearly not as good as the EMM Labs combo.I'm very interested to hear your full opinion of the CD-7 (in a few... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Branimir and Teajay,I will be auditioning an Audiomat DAC in the next couple of weeks and I'll let you know what I think.Transports:I'm hesitant to invest any significant amount of money in any transport because I believe the future of high end di... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective That is very surprising. In a number of other reviews of the Medea it is praised for its bottom-end, its dynamics, PRAT, and presentation of depth. | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Teajay,I use Absolute ICs and speaker wire. I also use Harmonix PCs.I appreciate your choice in speakers as well. It looks like we are after the same sound. The following is completely off-topic...I'm not one to rave about any components (I have n... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective You're absolutely right. I need to hear the CDSD in my system. | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective I should note that I'm not necessarily looking for powerful bass; what I want is more low-frequency "energy" and detail so that the bottom of my soundstage becomes "visible". In other words, I want to be able to "see" what floor-covering material ... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective I use Acoustic Zen "Absolute" cables. I've tried some 'bass rich' cables but found them to be wanting in other areas. I use the EMM Labs "ST Glass" optical connection between my digital stuff. I suppose I could use other cables but then I would be... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective I stand corrected. | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Teajay and Branimir, thanks. I responded in detail but it doesn't look like it has appeared in the thread for some reason? | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Thanks Teajay and Branimir.I'm currently using the EMM-modified transport and I'm -not- getting great bottom-end extension or low-frequency energy. The foundation and substructure of my soundstage is missing and I'm not getting all the low-frequen... |
