| New Rowland Criterion 2-chassis battery pre Rowland ships Criterion with 4 Delrin balls that connect the audio chassis to the control unit. Have you put all 4 balls in place?? There is no apparent rocking motion possible with my own Criterion pre. For more detail, se the article on stacking... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Thank you Lloydelee21, if I ever manage to do some serious listening of P02/D02, I will definitely post my totally subjective findings on the combo. G. | |
| Rowland 625 versus Audio Research DS450 Optimus, let's return this thread to "its previously scheduled programming".... and then continue to talk about DACs on the Reference DAC thread at:http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?ddgtl&1126769860&openmine&zzGuidocorona&4&a... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Lloydelee21, it is most probable that the auditorily obsessive contributors to this august thread mostly listen with their ears. you may have noted that I have deliberately asked for listening impressions of P02/D02, as technology by itself does n... | |
| Esoteric K-01 Very interesting Matjet.... In the Esoteric suite it seemed that the G-0Rb clock was making a significant difference.... Seemed to be the consensus.... Tim Crable, visitors, myself... I wonder what else may have been going on that caused the gener... | |
| Rowland 625 versus Audio Research DS450 Hi Optimus, I had 3 favorite rooms at RMAF 2011:1. The Esoteric room.... K-01 sounds very promising.2. The Audio Research room with DS450M.3. The Esoteric room with REF 250M amps.Guido | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Esoteric appears to have introduced its newest 2-box reference combo.... P-02/D02. It is still unclear if in the USA P-02/D-02 replaces P-03/D-03, or they bridge the gap with the P-01/D-01 combo. The US Esoteric site has not yet been updated with ... | |
| New Esoteric P02 D02 Thank you so much Alex and Eli, truly fascinating.... I hope someone will be able to listen to these creatures soon in some meaningful environment, and will report some initial findings. G. | |
| New Esoteric P02 D02 Eli, according to what I understood at in the Esoteric suite at RMAF, the P-02/D02 combo may be replacing P-03/D-03.... but I am not 100% sure. The devices feature very advanced technologies, amongst which is 35 bit DAC. Cost in the US may be appr... | |
| Esoteric K-01 Hi Harv, yes the ability of K-01 to tune effectively the sound to a user's preference via oversampling options and filters was very impressive. I did preferred FIR1 and FIR2, while Esoteric staff seemed to be fonder of the Slo2 filter.G. | |
| Rowland 625 versus Audio Research DS450 Optimus, in the Rowland room I heard relatively similar things as you did. I am quite familiar with the sound of M625, Corus, and Aeris DAC in favorable setups, and they sound like completely different devices from what I heard at RMAF this year. ... | |
| Esoteric K-01 I listened to K-01 extensively at RMAF 2011... While it is rather difficult for me to contrast K-01 with my own X-01 Limited, without having both in the same system, K-01 was A/B/C/Ded against several lower end Esoteric players in the suite, with ... | |
| Rowlands Just returned from RMAF. Rowland M725 were not shown. However, I have learned that M725 will not be bridgeable amps, but will operate as pure monoblocks. The power rating has not been announced. | |
| Rowlands Zabiaud, Rowland newest M625 clas a/b amp, as well as ICEpower-based amps in the 300 series like M312, M301, and the older M302 have a special current rectification system based on a technology called active Power Factor Rectification (PFC). This ... | |
| Rowlands HGeifman, the Rowland SF dealer is:Matt AikawaMoraga, CA510 206-1766nyatt@yahoo.comWorth pointing out that Rowland has no/no/no current integrated amplifier based on a class A/B design. Any such hypothetical product at this point is no more than p... |
