| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Thanks Astrostar. I have heard the Aries Cerat are awesome. I have not heard one. I would love to. I would agree with your assessment of the dacs you listed. You have a good ear and we hear similarly. Lordcloud- I have heard the older Rockna but n... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Hi everyone!!!!sorry for the long hiatus. Work and family take up a lot of time and sometimes leave little room for audio play. Laufer Teknic is amazing gear. Sam and Mark make a terrific team. Their gear is true high end and they don’t go 6 month... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD It’s not dead yet. Just busy at work. Lol. Dont give up on it. Still more to come. | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Chowkwan- good analog reel to reel is awesome! I’ve heard it many times. I’ve heard Nagra and always liked it. It’s just hard to get a hold of to audition in house. | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Hey Dave. Mikes spoken highly of your system!!!Could you throw your favorites on a CD or thumb drive and send to Mike? That’d be awesome! You HAVE to hear his Pipedreams with the new Merrill 118 monoblocks and Christine pre-amp!!! Merrill and I sp... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Keithr- I can do the TotalDAC demo whenever I want. But I don’t want to start it until I know I can give it the time it deserves. And work has been crazy. It will come in time. I promise. | |
| Merrill Audio ELEMENT 118 on Tour To be honest, I have not directly compared the 118’s to the Burmester 911mk3’s yet. I expect each to be world class but have different strengths. So I can’t say 100% that I’m not replacing my 911’s with 118’s, but with the level of performance I h... | |
| Merrill Audio ELEMENT 118 on Tour Rsf507- nope. What I have is amongst the best there is already. For me to go from what I have to the 118 would be like changing from a Ferrari to a Lamborghini when the Ferrari is already paid off. But if someone took what I had and left the 118 i... | |
| Merrill Audio ELEMENT 118 on Tour Offering me 2 cents. I have not yet heard the 116 but I am quite familiar with the 118 both sonically and aesthetically. I am also a former Veritas owner. And as I keep it no hidden secret, it took upgrading to a pair of Burmester 911 mk3 monobloc... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Hi gang. Sorry. Work has been crazy. Haven’t had a chance to listen to the home system in a month. I’m in a quiet lull and promise to report as soon as the next big thing hits my doors. | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Hey all. Sorry for the slow going. Work has been crazy and the Memory Player went to Sam for some upgrades. Havent even been in my room in weeks. Anyone want to post a list of their top 5 songs they use to audition components? I’ll put mine up whe... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Ricred1- I endeavor to compare apples to apples and try to give all the information I can. You absolutely need to keep price levels in mind and not compare a $4k DAC to a $14k DAC. There are a few excellent performers in each price range. I have h... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Hi guys. I have not heard a recent iteration of the PS Audio software based DAC. I was not blown away by the version I heard which was several years ago, but I have spoken to people whose ears I trust say that the newer versions are significantly ... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD *** Lampizator Big 7, gen 6 review ***Ok. So I was treated to a taste of the Lampizator Big 7 generation 6 tube DAC. I had heard a generation 1, and owned a generation 1 Big 6. To say this is a different beast entirely is an understatement!!! The... | |
