Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD
OK Gary/Goper, lets get some things straight and clear the air. 1) YOU NEVER told me it was a very early prototype or that it was not supposed to be demoed by anyone and not a commercial DAC. I would have told you not to bother as I would have no ...

Matt, I agree. Even with the reference to the Diamond it does not give enough of a reference to relate to. Mind you I have heard the Diamond and I thought at the time it was the best DAC I had heard but that was several years ago and that is a VER...

Bojack, THE 60s??!! Really!! So nothing has changed in 50 years. While I agree that most make no, very little difference or make things worse there ARE a few that make a positive difference. But like all things audio you do need to pay for the imp... 
Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD
Also the Meitner has out performed a Lampizator L4 DSD only DAC and a Phasure DAC. Those two I heard for myself. The Phasure gave a good fight and lost by only the smallest of margins. A higher level/newer Lampizator DSD might make a difference.Al...

Kana813 Funny, I was thinking the same thing just last night. I was thinking, OK what can be upgraded? Caps, power supply, fuses etc. And how much of, if any, improvement will it bring.

Ozzy, do not read too much into those postings that the PW sounds better then the DS. I believe all of those postings are based on DS that have very little burn in hours on them. Even the PW needed to have 400+ hours on it to reach its full potent...

I also hope to hear a DS at one, possible two, more fellow audiophiles systems over the next few weeks.There will be opportunities to hear other well regarded DACs in those systems also. MSB and Lampizator as examples. So the next few weeks should...

A friend who is also a reviewer has a DS in for review. He is doing some burn in at the moment. I will be able to hear the DS sometime over the next few weeks. I will be able to compare the DS with some other DACs in his system that I am familiar ...

Trying to judge the sound in a room full of bodies is difficult at best. One of our audio club members had the club over to hear his system in his dedicated room that had room treatments just done by one of the best in the industry. It was my firs...

Gentlemen, most of these impressions are from DS that have less then 50 hours on them and at best a little over that. Wait until there is at least a good 100+, but I would expect that the DS might need as much as its predecessor the PW to show its...
