| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Polymer - amazing above the two 6" drivers. They would be a top contender if the base was better. Slightly lose, lack true impact, and just not up to the rest of that amazing speaker. A shame, because if they had a larger low end driver cabinet wi... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Heard the Goldmund in the city. Sounds best with Goldmund amps. Very good but not for me. That store had Kaiser, Raidho, Magico and Goldmund. I really liked the Kawero the best but they have 2 issues for me. First is that on certain tracks they ge... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD This is my list. It includes the speakers I put on my initial list of reference speakers that fit in my 15x18.5x9 foot room that I set out to hear, plus others that were not on my list but I was introduced to by friends or stores, or heard at show... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD My experience with the Evolution Acoustics MM3 speaker taught me that a truly statement level world class speaker can have limitations if put into a room that doesn't suit its size; like putting a big block V8 in a Porsche 911. So my search starte... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD I can confirm it is the most recent version with the linear power supply. It is one of the units that showed at THE Newport. If I can play it right, I'm going to try to convince a local Allnic dealer to bring the Allnic DHT DAC to compare as well.... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD I should be getting the Bricasti M1 in next week for a brief audition. It will be nice to post a good ol DAC review again. | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD I can't stop thinking about the sound from the two Perfect8 rooms at THE Newport show. I'm not sure which I liked better, The Cube or The Point. Both literally vanished in the room; I've never heard that happen before to that extend. Just wow. | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD CTsooner - to answer a question you asked in another thread in January that I just saw, no. I am not looking at the Stella Utopia any more. I think it would be my dream speaker, but it's just too big for my small to medium sized room. As I continu... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD thanks Wisnon. I heard the GG/Antipodes room and it did sound wonderful. I'll look for the GG at the Newport show. Especially with the new DHT quad balanced option. The new MSB V DAC is out now as well and looks to be a statement contender as well... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Correct. My point was a fascination with the fact that the point in my room with the flattest frequency response will almost unquestionably not be a spot I would want to, or even could, sit. My guess is that the spot with the flattest response is ... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD I just had a very humbling experience that we all intellectually know but rarely experience as dramatically as I did with the help of the Nordost System Set-Up and Tuning Disc. The disc has a set of low frequency tones in both a slow sweep and ind... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD My 8 meter Shunyata ZiTron Anaconda S XLR purchase was through The Cable Company. I do plan on using them again. Great service, great communication. I am a huge fan of Shunyata. I'd love to try their top tier speaker wire as their interconnects an... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Lol. When I was in the Montreal show (less crowded and a LOT less formal) the reps in the room seamed to be very chatty. If I made a "negative" comment about a pair of speakers I didn't think was necessarily helping to make their electronics shine... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD I just replaced a very expensive shotgun speaker cable run (Audience AU24-SE) with a fairly affordable single speaker cable run (Merrill Audio Anap) and gained a significant improvement in my system's performance. System matching is everything. Of... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Id like to try that TotalDac usb cable. I've heard great things about it!I'm looking forward to hearing the Bricasti M1 DAC next month. I also think I can get that Allnic Dac in for a brief audition as well... |
