| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Hi Matt, I have heard and used Aeris only on Rowland electronics this far... A really delicious thing.

| Theta Prometheus Monoblock vs Bryston 7BSST2 Hey Al, things are good.... Absolutely adore my big rig with Rowland Aeris DAC and M925 monos....

| Theta Prometheus Monoblock vs Bryston 7BSST2 Hi YYZ, the Bel Canto Ref500 monos are based on the somewhat less powerful NC500 module, instead of the NC1200 used in Veritas and Prometheus.

| Opinions on Rowland 302 vs musical fidelity m8 700 Hi Chenglo, in the $8K range I can think about two fabulous 400W amps for your Dynaudios....* Rowland Continuum S2 integrated, $9500 new, will fall well within your target price on the used market. $8K new might be a little bit of a stretch, but m... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Matt, given the caliber of line-level gear that you are working with, it might be worth while climbing up the Shunyata conditioners totem pole up to a Triton II. G. | |
| Opinions on Rowland 302 vs musical fidelity m8 700 Hi Chenglo, Here are some additional questions: * what are your amp power requirements... * What speakers are you using, and what is their sensitivity.... * What are the most important sound characteristics for you... * What music do you listen to... | |
