| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD I have had no luck getting any other suggested DAC in for evaluation . I know many of you wanted me to include the Romulus or Pandora. No success thus far. It seams that the only way, in general, to get a DAC in to audition is to buy it. | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Guido, I have to return it this Friday. He has been very generous with the DSD-S and it must go to the next interested customer. I can honestly say that it is a true contender and worth a serious listen. Whatever he did to modify it was significan... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD UPDATE: Hi all, I know I haven't posted one of these in a while since my search has sort of ended with my ODSE safe and snug in my rack. But Alex, of APL Audio has been persistent and accommodating with his DSD-S DAC for my evaluation. My initial ... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD I have tried to keep my amp search on the down low to keep things from getting complicated. But I have heard the Mola Mola amps and they are in the same class as my Veritas amps. I actually preferred my Veritas amps. But the Audionet Max monoblock... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Not rolling. Eventually upgrading. But my Veritas amps are SO good that it's going to take a HUGE investment to make upgrading worthwhile. Everything in between Veritas and stupid expensive isn't worth spending money to upgrade to because the impr... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Did anyone else go to the NY/Brooklyn show and come back disapointed?I gave myself 6 hours for the 2pm-8pm open hours and thought I would need more time. I got stuck doing errands and didn't drive until 3. By 4:45 I was done…2 floors, and the lowe... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Oh. The K-01 is done with the first set of settings burned in, and I'm doing the second set right now. That will be done 10/15 and then I'll be able to really give it a solid listen. At some point I need to hook my computer to the K-01 and try it ... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Ketcham - cool. It's not in the budget right now, but I'll definitely reconsider it later. Thanks. Hi all, sorry for the hiatus. Been crazy at work. Looks like everyone has been keeping themselves occupied here. I've been working on my dedicated a... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD I'm going to try to find time this week to give the DSD-S a solid listen to be fair to Alex and give everyone a good idea of my thoughts on it. The K-01 is done burning Tuesday for the first set of settings also. So hopefully i can report a bt in ... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Audiolabyrinth - Not at all. I'm mid reviews and burn ins. Not much to add. But you are re-affirming my point about chasing the rabbit with tube rolling. For some, it's the bees knees and their personal route to audio nirvana. I found that it ende... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD The DSD-S is back in da-house. I will update when I have an opportunity to listen. | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Erikminer: I'm very intrigued by your suggestion for a DAC based on Shmop Amps, peanut butter caps and mouse nut resistors!! I wonder if you could upgrade the caps to smooth peanut butter as the chunky gives the bass bloat and creates a harsh treb... | |
