Elac Loudspeakers?
I was told the Black Edition is more full sounding then the standard FS 249, but I have not heard the standard FS 249 to compare so I can't say for sure. I have only heard the FS 247 Sapphire Edition from the Elac line. What amp do you have and ar... 
Elac Loudspeakers?
I moved up to the FS 249 Black Edition and have paired them with the Burmester 082 integrated amp. Sensational sounding combo. The thing is, while trading the 247s in, the dealer hooked my 247s up to the $30K Burmester MK III power amp. Those litt... 
Speakers for Bryston pre/power amp
Have you considered the Bryston speakers? I have not heard them, but I would think they would be a good match with their electronics. 
Bryston Announces NEW BDP-2 / BDA-2
The BDA-2 is fantastic, especially when paired with the BDP-2 server. I have had the PS Audio Perfect Wave II, the NAD M 51, and Mytec Dac in my system the past few months. All of them are very good but in my system i decided the BDA-2 is best for... 
"What's The Best Value Speaker In $5k-$10k Range?"
These look nice and they sound great. Cost 8 grand new. 
Experiences with NAD M51 DAC
Mesch, no I have not heard the BDA-1. Sorry. 
Experiences with NAD M51 DAC
The NAD M51 is very good for the price. However, I have found 2 others around that price range that I liked better. One is Mytek, which sounds good, but is not user friendly to me. The other is the Bryston BDA-2, has all the detail of the NAD, but... 
Best Integrated, period.
I have had the Burmester 082 in my system for over month. IMO, this is an incredible integrated and I can see why Tone Audio holds this one in such high regard. Of course i have not heard everything, but I would think the O82 as well as the 032 ha... 
DAC Impressions
Does the W4S DAC 2 have a tendency to be on the clinical or perhaps bright side?

I'm a huge Sim fan. They are expensive and Van Alstine is better in price for performance. However, the W5.3 SE's are being sold at a great deal price right now. It may be hard to find a better amp at the current deal price. 
Simaudio Moon w5.3se
I have owend both Van Alstine and Sim. Both are good, just a little different. In this case, it would depend on which one worked best in a given system. This would not be a situation where one "smokes" another. 
The best of the DACs
The other thing about CD players is you can get "bargins" on high end cd players, at least on the used market. So many people are moving to computer audio that it has becomes somewhat of a buyers market. So your dollar for performance may go a bit... 
Deliciously musical...Mytek DSD 192 DAC
Interesting. I have both in house right now. NAD has about 75 hours. Mytek, is from the dealer, and he told me it has 200 hours on it. I thought I read somewhere the Mytek takes about 500 hours until it comes into it's own. Have you guys experienc... 
Deliciously musical...Mytek DSD 192 DAC
So you thought the NAD M51 was not as good as the Mytek? Or is this this because of DSD capabilities? 
Best Integrated, period.
Anyone heard the Burmester 082 or 032? Should these be part of the conversation?
