| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Agreed Beewax, although that may be the vaguest generalization I have agreed with in a while…Yes, the best is the best, until something better comes along…Einstein was the greatest proponent of that concept - he felt that his theories of relativit... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Its all in the detail.I found that the y2/4x setting (more 4x then y2) was more transparent and accurate then the DSD.
