| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Branimir,Could you say a few words on how your Medea DAC compares to both the AA DAC1 mk3 and the EMM DCC2? Also, you mentioned that your Weiss combo has great bass. Would you attibute this essentially to the DAC or the transport?Thanks. | |

| Looking for an incredibly dynamic preamplifier Thanks Mike. I'll keep the DarTZeel on my ever-growing list.I have to say, however, that the price tag is a killer. | |
| Looking for an incredibly dynamic preamplifier So many choices, and none of them available locally. | |
| Looking for an incredibly dynamic preamplifier First Sound owners:Are there certain models of First Sound preamplifiers that are smoother/warmer in the upper midrange than others?Do things generally get more refined in this area as you move up the line?My speakers are somewhat 'hard' in the up... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Right now I have the EMM Labs DCC2. It's great but I need to 'simplify' for personal reasons. I tried the TL51 this week. It did some amazing things and some not so good. I want to blame the 'not so good' on the coax digital cable that I borrowed.... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Branimir,Do you know if CEC plans to release any transports in between the $1,200 TL-51 and the $14,000 TL-0X? That's quite a gap. | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Teajay,Did you ever compare the Accustic Arts Drive 1 to your Ensemble transport? Forgive me if you already answered this question in another post. | |

| Audio Note DAC 4.1 vs. EMM Labs on Redbook Teajay,Thanks. Yes; I believe I contributed to your "Reference level DACS: an overall prespective" thread. | |
| Is the EMM DAC6e or DCC2 /CDSD the best out there? Why so little mention of models that don't upsample and don't use filters: i.e. Zanden and Audio Note?Just curious. | |
| Looking for an incredibly dynamic preamplifier Rayhall,Thanks for answering my questions. You've given me a much better idea of what to expect from First Sound equipment. If you do get to hear an Opal I'd like to hear your thoughts on it. I plan on listening to an Aesthetix Callisto Signature ... | |
| Wavelength Cosecant or TwinDAC+ or ??? I wasn't aware that Audio Logic made a USB DAC? | |
| 47 Labs PiTracer Henry,I spoke with Vincent from VRS for about two hours last night.He is a pleasure to talk with; very knowledgable and honest.I want to do more research and experimentation before I make any sort of move in this direction.I've started a thread ca... | |
| 47 Labs PiTracer I'm looking into the potential for high-end playback from a hard drive.It seems to me that "in theory", the best CD 'ripping' technology should actually be able to do a better job of finding the individual bits on a CD than any CD transport, inclu... |
