| Blind Shoot-out in San Diego -- 5 CD Players "The issue is how to maximizethe performance of your system. "Sabai, yours is a very commendable goal indeed... May I suggest, or better strongly recommend--I should even say urge--for you to open a dedicated thread, where you will impart and shar... | |
| Rowland 625 Husk01, I do not know if M925 will run at CES. I have also no information on how hot M925 will feel to the touch: simply extrapolating from the M625 heat dissipation would be in itself a dicy affair.Which brings me to a question to Kawika: How hot... | |
| Rowland 625 Kawika, I have heard rumors that the bias of M625 changes as the device warms up, and moves more towards class A.... Keep us posted. G. | |
| Rowland 625 Dtanclim, at the last RMAF a number of people, including myself, preferred M625 with very little break-in over a pair of well broken-in M301 monoblocks. Our own Kawika should receive his new M625 very soon. He might be able to share some impressio... | |
| Esoteric K-01 Matjet, my own limited experience on Esoteric X-01 Limited and Esoteric P-03/D-03 combo driven by G-0S clock are consistent with the opinion that external clocks appear to have little or no impact on single box units, but can have a major impact o... | |
| Rowland 625 Husk, as promised, I have checked with the factory.... JRDG has no immediate plans to offer either M625 or the future M925 in black livery.... These devices will be finished in Silver only at this time. G. | |
| Rowland 625 Hi Husk01, I do not know if black will be available on M625 and M925.... I will contact the factory and will post back here. G. | |
| Rowland 625 It looks like Kawika will have an M625 in his system very shortly... He will be in a position of commenting on the sound before long. G. | |
| Rowland 625 It is my understanding that M625 has just started to ship after RMAF. I have heard the device at RMAF side-by-side to the older M301 monoblocks.... M625 easily outperformed M301 for all audible parameters but one.... Only residual advantage of M30... | |
| Noisy External HD And 2.5 inch external drives now have very large capacity.... as much as 1.5TB.... See for example the Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex 1.5TB available from NewEgg.com:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148616 | |
| Esoteric K-01 Tony, you are causing me pangs of audiophilic anxiety mixed with generous amounts of neo-Freudian 'Esoteric envy'!Can you already characterize any difference between K-01 against X-01 Limited and X-01 D2 (this last one on upsampling to DSD)?And wh... | |
| Esoteric K-01 Thank you Alex, info much appreciated. Undoubtedly, A comparative listening analysis of the two devices would make for a fascinating project.Guido | |
| Esoteric K-01 APL NWO Master uses AKM 4399 DACs. K-01 also employs the AK4399. There are no tubes in K-01.... The Esoteric PDF file states: "A discrete buffer output circuit with a high voltage power supply of +/- 22 V has been deployed for the analog audio out... | |
| Esoteric K-01 The Esoteric site has a fairly detailed descriptive PDF for the K-01. See:http://esoteric.teac.com/resources/pdf/k-01.pdf It looks like K-01 uses 32-bit AKM DACs--8 per side. K-01 uses neither Burr Brown nor Analog Devices, making it potentially s... | |
| Blind Shoot-out in San Diego -- 5 CD Players Now whilst returning our unlamented hero to his private poetic devices.... TEAC America has just introduced the K-01 single box flagship player to the US market. Does anyone have plans to listen to it and compare it to various other top flight sin... |
