| Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC With Rowland gear, Elrod wires would not be my first choice.... In my system, Elrod PCs tended to filter the treble and swell the mid bass.Brands of wire products with which I have had amazing results are Shunyata, Nordost Valhalla II, and High Fi... | |
| Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC Hi again rinpoche? Are you in Canada? And is your dealer Angie Lisi from American Sound? If this were the case, please say hi to Angie from me... He was singly responsible for making me discover the magic of the Rowland sound in 1998.Concerning Ei... | |
| Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC Hi Rinpoche, SS vs tubes is not the best way to look at the problem of amps... Rather, the thing to look at is the actual sound of individual amps, or at least the house sound of particular brands. Hence, you are doing well in your current path to... | |
| Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC Hi rinpoche, if budget precludes the new M725 S2, I warmly recommend the M625 S2 over the original M725.As for VAC vs Rowland, I personally prefer the organic sound of Rowland electronic. | |
| Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC Hi rinpoche, unless the M725 monos on sale are the S2 version, the M625 S2 that you are considering will deliver a much purer, more musical sound.The original M725 of course will be more powerful than M625 S2, because each monoblock is equipped wi... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Hi Matt, I applaud giving the EMM DA-2 a thorough break-in before posting your impressions. How many hours in total are you planning to put on it before posting?Saluti, G. | |
| Can SMPS based preamps/amps sound organic ? | |
| Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC I concur with GPGR4Blu... "ARC which will be more transparent, open and expansive, but not strident." In my experience at RMAF for several years, ARC amps have been consistently my favorite amps, together with Rowland and Solution. They all meet ... | |

| Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC You are correct. there are no speakers impedance adjustments in the Rowland M625 S2... Its output taps are expected to work for all common speaker varieties. If you connect Aeris to M625 S2 directly, use the Aeris remote for setting volume at you... | |
| Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC Oops... You are right Al... 0 attenuation / unity gain is for DAC feeding a preamp... I Must be getting old! G. | |
| Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC Al, the Aeris volume control is neither purely digital nor purely analog. Per the Rowland knowledge base, it operates by varying the reference voltage in the DAC chip. See: http://jeffrowlandgroup.com/kb/questions.php?questionid=617 There is a v... | |
| Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC Hi Richard, I freely admit that the UI for volume attenuation/gain on Aeris is a little, ahem.... Techno-terse. I would have prefered an LED with attenuation values, in addition to an independent indicator that would light up when the unity value... | |
| Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC All, looks like I am a little late to this Rowland/VAC watering hole... Here are some clarifications about M625 S2 and Aeris DAC....1. The M625 series operates in higher bias class A/B. It does not run in class D, as someone seems to hav suggested... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Hi Matt, which class D Rowland amps specifically have you listened to and compared to ?Saluti, and Happy New Year! Guido |
