| Decent DAC under $10k anyone? The two I have been looking at myself in similar bracketJeff Rowland Aeris - At the top end of your budget, but does the warm, holographic sound that is trademark of JR products. Takes pretty much all modern inputs (USB, toslink, spidif) but does ... | |
| Jeff Rowland Aeris and Playback Designs MPD-3 Thanks for the info Ghasley, much appreciated. I strongly agree with your views on the prospects of downloadable music. I personally have a couple SACDs, not a huge collection by any means, but enough for it to give it some consideration.On that n... | |
| Jeff Rowland Aeris and Playback Designs MPD-3 Thanks, definitely I would audition the MPD-3 before buying.The problem is out here the chances of being able to demo these two on the same system are pretty low... hence throwing the question out there.On a slightly different note, does this mean... | |
| Boulder 850 monos Agree with Skreich. The Boulder 850s were quite unnotable to my ears as well. They are rather aesthetically pleasing though, if you're looking for 'cute' power. I heard them paired with Wilson & MBL speakers.That said, Boulders 2xxx line is ex... | |

The boulder was definitely ... | |
| Should i go Boulder 1060 or Jeff Rowland 625 +1 Vote for Rowland 625. Both do a great job, but to me 625 was a warmer, more holographic sound which I prefer. Boulder does feel the wider soundstage but touch less detail, felt a little thinner.Tested both on Avalon, Wilson, MBL.per my memory (... | |
| Moving to Singapore. Help needed Sorry, one more point I wanted to mention but somehow missed just now...You probably do not know what kind of place you will be moving into at this stage. If you plan on buying a completely new set of gear, you are gonna want to take your new room... | |
