New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house
Going back to the Jenson vs Duelund. Okay, the Jenson is said to sound sweet, warm, and smooth (relatively speaking) and the Duelunds are said to sound more real. If that is the case, does real mean if you have a bright or harsh recording that wil... 
Sony HAP-Z1ES Hi-Res Music Player RMAF 2013
Interesting product. A lot of questions about functionality, and it seems very good in that regard. However, what about sound quality? Is it just another sub 2 grand DAC of which there are many on the market or is it something special? 
Wyred 4 Sound - DAC2 DSD SE - Excellent upgrade

Berkleley Audio Alpha DAC, does it hold up in 2014
I think they are coming out with a new DAC in a month or two. So I would think they must think their old version could be improved upon to make a new one. 
Wyred 4 Sound - DAC2 DSD SE - Excellent upgrade
Once again thanks for the good info Audioman58. Again, as long as the Wryed piece is smooth without to many tradeoffs, it should be a good fit. 
Lumin Network Music Server?
do you like how it functions or is it the sound quality that impressed you? 
Wyred 4 Sound - DAC2 DSD SE - Excellent upgrade
well, the Bryston does look great in the rack. I will admit, that is kind of important to me. My setup sounds great, but like Bezimienny above, I too value smoothness. I have a lot of pop/rock recrodings (no hi rez stuff yet) and in most systems i... 
What preamp between Burmester and Krell?
okay, thanks for clearing that up guys. I like Burmester, but I don't think they are worth the price, thats for sure. 
What preamp between Burmester and Krell?
If he has a Burmester amp, why not a Burmester pre? I don't get why it wouldn't be considered. I have heard all Burmester setups(electronics, not speakers) and they sounded pretty incredible to my ears. 
Wyred 4 Sound - DAC2 DSD SE - Excellent upgrade
Thanks Audioman58, very good information. I currently have the Bryston BDP-2 Media Player/BDA-2 DAC that I amp happy with but the Wyred4sound DAC2 DSD SE has certainly perked my interest. 
Wyred 4 Sound - DAC2 DSD SE - Excellent upgrade
Does the DAC2 DSD SE play regular files better than the DAC2 or is just because it can play hi rez material that it is better. In other words, all things being equal is the improvement just because it has DSD capabilities or is the DAC just improv... 
which preamp
You could go for a low maintenance tube preamp like one from Herron. 
Small Monitors and Book shelves for Rock Music?
Try Mark and Daniel speaker and have some left over for a good ampor Fritz Carbon 7s. 
Recommendation - Ref 3a, GMA, NHT or Fritz?
Can't go wrong with the Fritz Carbon 7. They tend to be less sensitive to room and electronics than other speakers I own. Plus they sound great.
