| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD I am getting another MSB DAC from MSB with a different filter to see if I like that better. Not sure exactly what product it will be. I will keep you all posted. Also should be able to get my hands on the Berkeley Reference DAC shortly as well. I ... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD TBG - have you heard a class D from Rowland or Merrill Audio? Condemning class D forever because of what class D used to be is like saying you don't like modern Cadillacs because your grandfather used to drive a Caddy u-boat..... | |

| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Thanks Calvin. Someone a while ago, maybe you (sorry don't remember who) brought up the Invicta and Mirus dacs. I read up on them and they look awesome. I never had the opportunity to hear one but I was intrigued by their design and parts utilizat... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD The Aurender N10 is in the house and I will start cooking it tomorrow. I'll report quick first impressions including ease of setup and control, and then throw about 200 hours on it before I really listen and compare it to my Mac Mini. | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Guido- having previously thought that even the mighty Aeris sounded best with a preamp, I can understand the thought of requiring gain from a preamp. But after hearing Jeff Rowland's voicing system sans preamp I have a different attitude. I believ... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Copied from another site:DXD is not DSD (direct stream digital, one bit recording). DXD is a PCM format that is a very high sampling rate of 352.8kHz / 24bit. Merging Technologies and Pyramix incorporated the DXD format into their recording system... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD The Ultimate Tweak:I want everyone to know that I have spent the past 13.897 weeks secretly researching and implementing what I consider to be the worlds ultimate audiophile tweak. I am, quite frankly, shocked that no one else has thought of this ... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Thanks George. I'm a huge fan of Bruno's NCORE module! Can't wait to hear what he can do with a converter. The MSB line conditioner arrived yesterday. I hooked it in and ran the little ground wire to my amp as described in its manual. I've never u... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Mike - how's the Trinity treating you?The purpose built power conditioner for the MSB is supposed to be arriving today so I'll be able to add that in and get final thoughts on the MSB DAC. The settings are interesting. I don't notice big differenc... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Guido - no worries. I didn't take it as an insult. Just pointing out. Melbguy1 - cool. Enjoy those S7's! | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Guido, I didn't say I liked all of those options. Just that they were considered statement products. I heard an all CH system with $100k+ Zellaton speakers and neither the electronics nor the speakers were to my taste. But to some it is their holy... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Melbguy- the Vitas gear is still on that short list of true uber dacs. Vitus, DCS, MSB, CH Precision, Trinity, Emm Labs new just introduced DA-2, and some would put the Berkeley Reference DAC and the Lampy Golden Gate in that list....At that list ... | |

| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Thats great to hear Mike! its nice to know we can find landings to relax and enjoy for lengths of time as we slowly climb this crazy mountain. Sounds like the Trinity might be as good as those initial reviews suggested. I tried a few of the upsamp... |
