| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Thank you Matt for the thoughtful update. As I suspected, after the 400 or 450 hours mark, Aeris would start a gradual normalization of treble artifacts. I still expect some fluctuations throughout the audible bandwidth for a while. My experience ... | |

| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Hi Matt, you are right... While Criterion is far from being a "bright" pre, it does not share the slightly dark golden house sound of classic Rowland products from the 1990s and the earlier part of the 200X decade... Fact is that, with some except... | |
| Jeff Rowland Aeris DAC : my experience I have had Aeris in my system since last November... Am as ecstatic with its musical resolution as Mark is. Aeris is a very good performer from the get go... But if you have the patience of letting it recover from early marginal peakiness during i... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Hi Agear, a few posts ago, you brought up an interesting technical point... Electrical and mechanical grounding. I looked this up in the Rowland Knowledge base, and here is what I found in the Aeris section....Aeris uses very small surface mount d... | |
| NEED A RECOMMENDATION FOR NEW CD/SACD PLAYER HunterMusic, before you give up on K-01, I suggest that you discuss your K-01 in detail directly with Tim Crable at Esoteric. K-01 is constructed like a tank, and esoteric products have historically been extremely reliable... The behavior of your ... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Thank you Agear, unfortunately I never heard a high end digital amplifier in my life, so I have no idea how one would sound like.I have two biases.... Equipment which will not serve as a secondary furnaces... And components that conform to my idea... | |
| Has anyone paired Ayre with Raidho Hi Dancingking, admittedly I do love rowland gear. It is also true that when I heard the Rowland Continuum S2 integrated driving Raidho D1 speakers, the combination was quite magic. The Raidho team seems also to be favoring Rowland for their shows... | |

World wide dealers are found at:http://jeffrowlandgroup.com/us/distribution-3.htmlInput protocols as follows:1x USB — accepts up to 24 bit PCM at 44.1, 48, 88.2, ... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Hi Matt, at 170 hours, Aeris is likely just getting into adolescence... I suspect that you will experience some sonic cycling over the next few weeks, with some harmonic and treble anomalies showing up and fading out periodically. The good news is... | |

| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Hi Charles and JaFox, my long break-in opinions are based on a break-in tracking spreadsheet correlated with a dated break-in log that I kept during listening sessions throughout the process... I largely applied the same test track that I tend to ... | |
| Elrod statement vs Shunyata anaconda zitrons Hi Sabai, I can only report what I have experienced with Shunyata ZTron Anacondas in my own system. At that time, the system consisted of Esoteric X-01, Rowland Criterion line stage, Rowland M725 monos (330W/8 per channel), and Vienna Die Muzik sp... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Excellent question Charles. I freely admit of being pathologically picky when it comes to break-in process. I deem a device to be broken in only when I no longer perceive any further change in sound over the span of about one week of 24/7 operatio... |
