| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Just proves that different ears in different rooms listening to different equipment hear different things. There are those that consider the DAVE revolutionary! I have one in my room right now. My initial impressions will be posted shortly. I’m gl... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Ejr1953 - great post to start on a new thread. Totally not what this thread is about though. | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Sunandmusic - haven’t heard it sorry. The group of people that regularly post on this thread seam to have a lot of experience hearing many different DAC’s. If any of us make a comment, it’s pretty reliable (here) that the statement is being made w... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD High price does not always equal better!! This is a fact. There are $8k DAC’s (ODSE & APL DSD-SR for example) that I would chose without hesitation over many $12, $18k, $24k or $35k DAC’s. As an example, the new Reference Emm DA-2 was disappoi... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Pennsy- there are a lot of giant killer DAC’s out there. The Empirical Audio ODSE is under $9k and has destroyed DAC’s scoring 4x as much. It was my reference for years until I upgraded it to the ODSX $14k version. The PS audio DAC has been brough... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD The very current state of music servers (I just wrote this article last week, posting here first):The technology behind Music servers is still brewing and percolating. I would say they are past puberty now, bounding towards young adulthood but sti... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Great stuff!! I'm not sure CT meant what he said the way he said it. Peter and I have had many off thread conversations about system synergy and the importance of component matching. People buy from reading instead of listening; I think that was m... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Thanks Audio_Troy. Your opinion and experience are welcome. Please curb the sales pitch part of the posts though. All are welcome, but no one wants to hear a dealer advertise here. I put a HUGE good word in for you guys and it’s well deserved. Let... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Anyone at AXPONA??? How abought some summaries? I couldnt go. :( | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD A comment about dealers in general and one in particular (Dave, The Audio Doctor)......Buying used is great. It saves money and allows us to bring a piece in knowing that we can turn it over without losing our shirts in the process if/when we deci... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD 4425 - you can’t jump in on this thread and make a statement like that. As I just said, this thread is not about reviewing DAC’s. It’s about PICKING the best DAC. I have not evaluated a DAC I disliked. In fact, every DAC I have owned or auditioned... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Jwm - 1) apologies. I'll check my notes and post for you. I think I have them somewhere. 2) wow, I'm impressed you checked though all those pages! I'm honored. I do remember that it was not well suited to my system. But the specifics of why escape... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Jwm- apologies but it was a while ago. If you go back in the thread you will find my impressions. It’s never about not liking. It’s about liking something else more. I have heard the Bricasti sound great with other Bridasti gear at shows. So I kno... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD It was well crafted and I’m so sad it’s gone. Very abbreviated version without any descriptions (I’m so sorry, but I can’t do it again):newly upgraded ODSX - awesome but don’t like the Ethernet input. Better then the ODSE and worth every penny of ... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Ok. I just typed a three page review on the DA2, ODSX and Light Harmonic. It took me an hour and a half. And I hit submit and it went bye bye. |
