| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Thank you Steve, are you suggesting that you will implement DSD in a different / higher end OV product sporting a DAC chip with native DSD support?Guido | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Hi Steve, if I understand correctly, your future lower end DAC will support DSD, while your higher end OV-SX will not. This is fascinating... I am curious as of the reason for your strategy?Saluti, G. | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Hi Matt, if I recall correctly, K-01 might have some dedicated USB drivers on a CD shipped with the unit or downloadable from the Esoteric site. Were negative comments you heard related to use of K-01 with these dedicated drivers, or USB input via... | |
| THE BLACK BY BEL CANTO- NEW REFERENCE Hi again Mapman, I looked up the NAD M22. Fascinating device at an "entry level" audiophilic price point... Lots of technology inside, NCore being only part of it. Seems continuous power / 8 Ohms with nominal THD is 250W with a peak current of a w... | |
| THE BLACK BY BEL CANTO- NEW REFERENCE I agree with you Mapman... As sweet as REF1000M is, with the new modules, a REF1000M equivalent is bound to sound even better than the original. | |
| THE BLACK BY BEL CANTO- NEW REFERENCE Hi Audiozen, what is clear is that Black is far from a basic NCore implementation... NCore is part of a sophisticated design... And if my quick impressions of the whole prototype last year are any indications.... It is a pretty fine sounding system. | |
| THE BLACK BY BEL CANTO- NEW REFERENCE Drubin, as far as I know, the new NAD may be using a Hypex module derived from NC1200, targeting OEMs for lower power applications. It would be interesting to hear it. G. | |
| THE BLACK BY BEL CANTO- NEW REFERENCE Audiozen, I see no evidence on the system description page of NCore power supplies.... I see a reference to an NCore power processor, which I interpret to be a power conversion module of some kind..."The analog signal passes through custom discret... | |
| THE BLACK BY BEL CANTO- NEW REFERENCE I listened to a pre-production unit of the entire Bel Canto Black system at RMAF 2013. It was a very sweet and musical sounding system, with very fine resolution and no glare.Per my undrstanding of a brief chat that I had with John Stronczer at th... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD The Weiss 202 DAC supports Thunderbolt. However, Thunderbolt in its various incarnations, is One connection technology that I do not recall being discussed on this thread.Is the Weiss 202 Thunderbolt implementation merely a blip in an otherwise th... | |
| D-SONIC SOA Class-D Core Amps. The best Class-D ? Hi Tan43, could you contrast the sound of your D-Sonic amp vs your previous Spectral setup? What are the strong points of D-Sonic, versus the strong points of the Spectral?Thanks, G. | |
| D-SONIC SOA Class-D Core Amps. The best Class-D ? Thank you Timlub, I suspected that much... The newest generation Class D modules are late bloomers as much as the previous designs, but... when new generation class D amps come into full bloom, marvellous things are often heard *grins!* | |
| D-SONIC SOA Class-D Core Amps. The best Class-D ? Hi Tan43, your D-Sonic amps are likely to continue to sweeten for another 700 hours or so... Do keep us posted on their progress. G. | |
| D-SONIC SOA Class-D Core Amps. The best Class-D ? Hi Tan43, how many hours -- with a signal going through -- do you have on your amps?Guido | |
