| David Lewis Audio--any customer experiences? I have known and purchased audio equipment from David for over a decade. I find his understanding of high end audio, it's manufacturers and the sound of th equipment second to none. As a result, even though I live in NYC, i never purchase audio eq... | |
| Higher End DACs @mikelavigne You have an amazing system, and in principle, I agree with you.The shift from upsampling to bit perfect has been enabled by the explosion in high res recordings. Clearly, the need and benefits of upsampling decrease as recording reso... | |
| Higher End DACs Just adding my two cents to this chain.There are a number of reasons why and how DCS is separating itself from other companies in the high end of the business. Beside the build quality, the architecture of the latest generation (Bartok, Rossini a... | |
| DCS Rossini + Digital or Puccini + CDs? @audiotroy thanks for taking the time to reply. I am committed to DCS for a number of reasons but appreciate your endorsement of the x1.In general:As an engineer (but admittedly, not a great one) it would seem to me an easier task to move saved bi... | |
| DCS Rossini + Digital or Puccini + CDs? @folkfreak Thank you very much for your reply. This is exactly the question I am trying to answer:"What I cannot say is if the updated DAC in the Rossini is so much better that even with sub-optimal digital sourcing (i.e. from your server) it wil... | |
| Budget of $30K. Help me build a system Just going to suggest to you perhaps a radical departure from your current approach:If you sort through the very high end systems on audiogon, you will find the system is often built around the front-end, the opposite of what you suggest (the spea... | |
| Original DSD/SACD recordings? Thanks for replying Amfibius! I am trying to expand my collection of high end recordings and your recommendation is a great start! | |
| Best Integrated, period. I would second trelja's comment that I was slightly surprised not to find jadis at least in the running. I have not heard the gryphon but have heard wonderful things. the jadis da88s is also a very involving amplifier, which i pair with sonus fabe... | |
| Integrated amp for my Sonus Faber Guarneri imo, the best integrated amp for the g's is the jadis da88s. that is what i run. you have a great ss amp with the old version of the rowland, but you should test drive the jadis. ps, when sf debuted the guarneris over a decade agao, they chose jad... | |
| dCS Puccini CD transport noise Update: thanks to dcs which provided me extraordinary care and went above and beyond to solve a problem that neither they, nor i created, my puccini is back, running and sounds great! to follow up on the current thread. if i put in something very ... | |
| New dCS Puccini 1,21 version hi Elberoth,can you please elaborate on point 2: "The performance in DSD mode has been improved" ? do you know how?thank you! | |
| dCS Puccini CD transport noise hi. i own the puccini and have also had transport issues. as you know both the puccini and the scarlatti have esoteric transports, though they are of different qualities. there are a number of relevant posts and many users of the scarlatti on this... | |
| Wadia 381 vs. dcs Puccini vs. EmmLabs CDSA SE The only thing i would like to add to this discussion is a to a comment made by Jon2020: "Music would be sold in memory cards like SD, not as physical spinning discs. No more transport problems or disadvantages of hard drives with their moving par... | |
| dcs puccini software upgrade thanks lenny and will do! | |
| dcs Puccini break-in just a friendly echo of Mert's comment. I have been skeptical of the purported gains of power cords for a long time and noticed a sonic improvement from my puccini when I introduced a dedicated line conditioner (foundation research LC-1). |
