Dragon_Vibe - Agreed. I think Exogal-CEO was responding to a casual statement I made and has shown his respects to the Audiogon Admin, dealer/manufacturer relationship and Can obsessiva all in one quick and concise post. Thanks Exogal-CEO for the ...

JWM - my muse to take the obsession plunge in any direction hits me at random and is then unstoppable. I’m trying to go to CanMania at the CapitalAudioFest. I plan on starting some IEM research there.

I’m hoping next Sunday is as fun as I’m planning it to be. I’m hoping to have a few stellar servers to compare and a fun group of listening buddies to help me out. The list of whose who in the server selection is not quite finalized. But it will y...

Hi Jeff, welcome aboard! I don’t know the answer to that question as it’s never come up here before. I think the solution would be to make an offer and anyone interested can PM you to get on board. Shoot the admin a PM at the same time to confirm ...

Antipodes final opinion..... I think i spent more time perseverating about this unit then most. The opinion base flows exuberant with supporters of the DX Gen 2 as well as DS lovers and the like. While the original DX was simply outclassed by the ...

Cleeds. Negative posts about gear are fine until it's from a dealer or manufacturer. Then it's not sincere, it's badmouthing a competitor, unreliable information; and subsequently not welcome. As I said, it's not been an issue as the manufacturer'...

This is not the spot for any manufacturer or dealer to bad mouth any other product. That's how threads die. Speak positively about your own product and let the customers say negative things about the competitors products. It's fair and most dealer...

Wow Al. I’ll bet that felt good. Lol. Thanks for the info. We welcome manufacturers and dealers and love to hear about new product. What we frown upon is their criticism of any other manufacturer's product, and anyone who doesn’t let up and keeps ...

On a side note for those headphone junkies and those looking for less expensive DAC options....I spent a wonderful night (2 nights ago) at Distinctive Stereo in River Vale, NJ listening to some awesome gear! Larry’s dedicated room is big, sounds g...

Guido- Playback Designs apparently has a whole new line and I have not heard any of them. They have good reports and I can not dismiss what I have not heard.

Aolmrd- no doubt that Ps Audio continues to refine their software. It's always been recognized as a good dac. But I have heard almost every update along the way and none come even close to the performance of my ODSX which doesn't hold a candle to ...

Abedirov- a quote from the Davinci Web page about their proprietary USB cables :"Two Configurations : LightSpeed USB comes in a standard configuration, and a split configuration. Standard LightSpeed is used similarly to most USB cables: one connec...

Most music servers don't give you the choice. I use the ShortBlock only with the ODSX since it's designed to put it in line and it typically sounds best with it in. I have run all other DAC's with an uninterrupted USB cable. But the ODSX I always ...
