| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Hi Agear, good question... But I suspect that various Esoteric transports might yield different results into a given DAC... E.g. X-01, X-03, K-01, K-03, P-02, P-01 Grandioso have different transport subassemblies, different electronics, and differ... | |
| D-SONIC SOA Class-D Core Amps. The best Class-D ? I have just spoken to Dennis at D-Sonic... the new Anaview AMS 1000-2600 have been shipped to him by the oversees manufacturer, and are currently in transit to Houston (TX). Dennis believes that he might be able to start shipping amps using the ne... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Matt, Audiogon is a bit of a "homegrown'" posting system... There is an ability for editing a post, kind, sort of, and it depends... That is... The thread must be on a single page, and your post to be edited must be the very last post on the threa... | |
| Elrod statement vs Shunyata anaconda zitrons Well Bo, I can only beg to hold a differing point of view on the exceptional wire products that I have experienced in my system.... Perhaps we value subtly different things in audio. My apologies, but I do not do crushing of audio demos... On the ... | |
| Elrod statement vs Shunyata anaconda zitrons Hmmm, I am not quite sure what kind of instrument a Steinway wing might be... I am used to a modest Steinway Model M (Hamburg) baby grand, which has been with me for the last 45 years, since I was 16... I am also fond of my daughter making music o... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Thank you for the Esoteric arcana Alex... Did not know that X-01 SPDIF out was transformer coupled... At some point in the future, I might replace X-01 with a music server.Saluti, G. | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Hi Matt, very nice that your MacMini already on SSD. Friend of mine made comparison in last couple of days between hard drive (do not remember brand) and Samsung 840 EVO 1TB SSD... He asserted that the SSD delivered harmonically denser images... I... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Matt said... "I am pretty sure the Rowland Aeris is also software driven. I bet that the right firmware update could make the Aeris untouchable."You are correct Matt, Rowland Aeris is driven by a large FPGA which performes a variety of master func... | |
| Rowland Model 5 Parts? Kurt, I sent you a PM...I suspect that you contacted Jeff when he was preparing for the NewPort Beach show.... In the end, he might have forgotten about your inquiry...Respond to my PM... I will get the factory to contact you directly.Best, Guido | |
| Merrill VERITAS monoblock amplifiers All, fans of NCore-based amplifiers like Merrill Veritas, Theta Digital Prometheus, Audience WavePower, Rowland M825 / M925, and the Mola-Mola Kaluga, might enjoy this 48 minutes long technical talk by Bruno Putzeys, designer of the NCore technolo... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Merrill Veritas have no transformer-coupled inputs nor outputs. Rowland Criterion linestage is coupled on all balanced inputs and outputs. Aeris has transformer coupling on SPDIF inputs, and on balanced outputs. It would be indeed interesting to g... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Erik, Matt indicated that he would be away until Wednesday... Updates might need to wait for a couple more days. G. | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Thank you Steve. Yes, I have amps with ceramic boards, Jensen caps, and lots more esoteric goodies inside... Amazing sound from the get go... And then they kept improving.... By 1500 hours, my amps were awesome. The delightful Merrill Veritas took... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Hi again Grannyring, When I break in a component, the device is exercised 24/7 until it stabilizes... For Aeris, I fed a signal into it, such as a break-in CD, and let the DAC feed into the Criterion preamp on 0 volume.... In one week I had 168 ho... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Perhaps it is just me Grannyring... But most pieces I had had in my system took that long, or even more... Esoteric X-01 and K-01 for example, both about 1200 hours... And my Vienna Die Muzuik speakers took 1500 hours... Even my old ARC Ref3 took ... |
