| New Accuphase Amplifier Experience @westcoastaudiophile I use the MSB DAC direct into the Accuphase amp plus I have digital only system so really no need fora preamp. I had a Benchmark HPA4 and it didn’t sound any better than going direct. If I did need a preamp I would likely... | |
| Non-fatiguing speakers in $10K range? I have the Harbeth C7ES-XD. For Classical, Jazz and Pop they are wonderful. I found in my room they have plenty of deep tight bass. I actually sold my two REL T/5X subs. I’ve listen to the 30s and the 5+ and liked the C7s the best. They have the ... | |
| Non-fatiguing speakers in $10K range? Any Harbeth speaker. Most fatigue free speaker I’ve ever owned. | |
| New Accuphase Amplifier Experience @mark200mph Yes you need to audition the Accuphase amps. They have their own unique presentation but I warn you once you hear it you will want one. | |

I could not unhear a demo of a MSB Discrete DAC and bought one. Added an Aurender N20 and I look forward to listening to this system ever... | |
| Accuphase e-280 Review I spent a while evaluating amplifiers and found the Accuphase sound to be exactly what I was looking for. Very analog sounding with a beautiful soundstage with depth and separation and a life like midrange. Of course this matched my taste. It may ... | |
| Back to the DAC I had a Benchmark DAC3 and found it a little sterile and bright in the lower treble. I did an audition of an Esoteric DAC and the MSB Discrete DAC. The MSB was clearly a more involving DAC. Smooth non fatiguing. So I bought it and it’s great. | |
