| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Hi all. Labtec, the Antipodes DX that I heard was the same unit used at a major show and was well broken in. It was disappointing, to say the least. I had such high hopes based on Steve 's raves but it just didn't blow me away or even come close. ... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Steve - I had the top of the line Antipodes in my room (one that was well broken in) and I was not impressed in comparison to my sup'd up Mac Mini. It wasn't close, to be honest. And this was using your wonderful ODSE. The Aurender N10 is a petter... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Guido. Still only heard the Daemon. No others. I was very impressed considering I was listening to a pair of YG Sonja which I typically find overly analytical and not engaging. | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Guido - I have hard all but the top tier Rowland Class D gear. I think that the Merrill Veritas is better then most of what you mentioned, and a better value then all at only $12k. Eveyone else has has stepped up to the $20+k range for their gear ... | |

| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Labtec - there's room in this world for solid state and tube lovers. We all enjoy our poison from different glasses. Doesn't make one better then the other. | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD And the $60+K Roland 925 monoblocks are also not worth considering, just because they are class D. Or his new Daemon integrated, just because it's class D; even though both have won best in show awards and have incredible reviews from people with ... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Hi all. Merry Christmas. I wanted to give a brief report on the Merrill Taranis stereo amp and Cara Pre-amp I was fortunate enough to audition. The Taranis is 400wpc into 8 ohms class D in the same design as my nCore Veritas amps. The preamp and a... | |

| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Hi Labrynth. I haven't installed the outlets yet. Just no time. The plasmatron is in the system but I have not had time to listen yet. Burn in is supposed to be about 100 hours. I'm not close. The Eclipse hasn't made it to my place yet. Again, my ... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Hi Steve. Good to hear from you. I'm sure your 805's are something special!Any news to report on the ODSX?

| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Hi all. Word is that the new Emm DA2 DAC should be arriving late January. Yay! The YFS server is probably going to arrive just after New Year so I’ll compare it to the N10 Aurender then and post comments. I am trying to pursue access to a DCS Ross... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD BigKidZ reached out to me. I've been so busy I haven't had a chance to get back to him. I think he's in NJ. If he wants to bring his DAC over for a day to play id be happy to report. Thanks Wisnon. That Sound Galleries Server looks like it could b... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Sorry for the slow period. I'm hoping to get some listening time in this Wednesday. Word is I will be getting an updated MSB DAC with faster clock to compare to the last one I had in. I'm also getting a YFS fully loaded music server to go head to ... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD I always liked Meridian. My only issue is their, sort of, all Meridian or no Meridian system integration. Worth looking into though....Thanks. |
