| Integrated Amp (Gryphon, T+A, etc) or DAC + Stereo Amp for B&W 802d3 Hi Cervantes - the sound signature in my opinion is only slightly different (ie still the Gryphon sound) especially the authority is still there which controls the bass very well. The soundstage and depth are on a different level compare to Diablo... | |
| Integrated Amp (Gryphon, T+A, etc) or DAC + Stereo Amp for B&W 802d3 Hi Jay, thanks for the feedback. Indeed T+A is extremely smooth, neutral and balanced! I liked the amp a lot.I just came back from the audition (Diablo 300 and Essence). The Diablo 300, like many have already said the 'authority' is def. one of th... | |
| Integrated Amp (Gryphon, T+A, etc) or DAC + Stereo Amp for B&W 802d3 Hi George, actually is at the dealer's place. I'm indeed aware of the differences, just want to compare the Essence (pre/power combo and streaming DAC straight into power amp) vs Diablo 300 if that makes sense. My listening room is approx. 17' x ... | |
| Integrated Amp (Gryphon, T+A, etc) or DAC + Stereo Amp for B&W 802d3 @andrewkelley - lol exactly! the 9 DSD is indeed a good dac at that price point as well.PS. I'm going to audition both Essence and Diablo 300 paring with the 802 D3s over the weekend! I'm sure I'll know which amp to purchase afterwards. | |
| Integrated Amp (Gryphon, T+A, etc) or DAC + Stereo Amp for B&W 802d3 thanks Thyname. I'll try the toe-in later. Perhaps less toe-in where the diamond tweeters point just outside my shoulders rather than 45 degree placement.I do enjoy the T+A amp a lot plus very nice looking especially the VU meters at night and the... | |
| Integrated Amp (Gryphon, T+A, etc) or DAC + Stereo Amp for B&W 802d3 Thanks Bilatata, indeed that’s why I’m looking for a warmer sound of amp for now. I do like B&W a lot especially the turbine head, soundstage and bass. However I had ProAc and Harbeth speakers previously as well.I may get ProAc bookshelf speak... | |
| Integrated Amp (Gryphon, T+A, etc) or DAC + Stereo Amp for B&W 802d3 cheers guys! | |
| Integrated Amp (Gryphon, T+A, etc) or DAC + Stereo Amp for B&W 802d3 ah ok! that explains (electronics isn't my field I just know the basic).thanks again. | |
| Integrated Amp (Gryphon, T+A, etc) or DAC + Stereo Amp for B&W 802d3 Thanks George appreciate your feedback!I think you hit the nail on the head. When I listen to very dynamic classical music the Dev. 440 wasn't able to control the bass well (in contrast to the loaner T+A PA 3100 HV) and I believe it's one of the r... |
