| Class D Technology To the O.P.... Whether or not class D amps are inherently better or worse than any other topology is a false problem.Rather, with class D amps, like with any other topologies, you are bound to find amps that are of your liking, and others that you... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Exactly my impression of CH Precision when I heard it at RMAF a couple years ago... Hrd, edgy, with very displeasing treble on any material that had sostenuto in treble parts of any complexity... To my taste it was unlistenable... I asked the imp... | |
| Would you go all 1 brand for electronics? Like Richard, I use Rowland Electronics for DAC (Aeris) and mono amps (M925).... I used to have also the Rowland Criterion linestage, but I have more recently simplified the system a bit and am feeding directly Aeris DAC into M925 monos... And sti... | |
| Jeff Rowland Corus versus Audio Research Ref 6 Hi Richard, PSU production is in full swing... In high demands since its recent launch in Asia.US list price is $8200. A new batch is being readied... although nmost of its units are already spoken for, your dealer should be able to secure a unit ... | |
| Jeff Rowland Corus versus Audio Research Ref 6 Hi Richard, In olden days I had an ARC Ref 3.... I know I know, it is an older ARC reference preamplifier...I replaced Ref 3 with the little Rowland Capri original because I found Capri to be much superior in most respects.... And eventually upgra... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Hi Mitch2, currently I am running Aeris directly into the Rowland M925 monoblocks. In olden days, I ran the Rowland Criterion linestage between DAC and amps. Which arrangement is "better"? The answer is... It depends... Immediately followed by..... | |

| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Yes, varying the reference current in the DAC chip is a wonderful and musical way to implement volume control in a DAC, if not a particularly new one. The Rowland Aeris implemented this very design as early as 2010... And Aeris has cured me from D... | |
| Ice Amp 125ASX2 It all depends on the particular amp... The class D module is one of the factors in the sound of an amp, but the sonic characteristics of an amp go far beyond the contribution of the module.The only amp powered by ICEpower 125 ASX2 that I know is ... | |
| Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC BDP2 is also very nice... But it does not have on board mass storage.... But I would not be surprised if a hypothetical next Bryston servr will be equipped with mass storage in one form or another. G. | |
| Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC Hi Rinpoche there are a number of good servers on the market today. One of the brands that seems to have gained the most respect is Aurender. They have servers ranging for below $3K up to $17K. The higher end models are extremely flexible in I/O, ... | |
| Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC You might be right Richard, I have played with some exceptional wires in my system. It is quite possible that they have enabled me to part with the linestage. The Audioquest WAL that Rinpoche has purchased is completely unlike any ICs I have ever ... | |
| Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC Hi Richard, to be more precise, my experience has been with Criterion rather than Corus. I have applied it to M312, M625, M725, and my current M925 monos over sevral years. While I am incredibly happy about driving my system without preamplifier, ... | |
| Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC Not sure what Bodhidharma might have enjoyed, as he seems to have decamped some 1500 years ago... But I might ask my cousin Luca about it.As for WAL, I hope that RIMPOCHE will let us know soon about its synergy with Aeris and M625 S2... As far as ... | |
| Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC Uhrn... Mayhaps Rinpoche is a "student", but in the sense of being a questing scholar, not in the sense of being in a subordinate position akin to the child who is expected to follow the teacher's ex cathedra pronouncements. So, let us share our ... |
