| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Apologies all. Work has been crazy. Wed didn't really happen. At least, not the way I wanted it to. I am hoping to get some time tomorrow to eval the DSD-s and it's 128 and 64 setting. And maybe to compare it to my ODSE. Comparing the USB cable an... | |

| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Agear, if that was a joke then it was freakin awesome! I actually really laughed out loud. Very well delivered!I can honestly say that $22-25K for a DAC is out of my price range. | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Hi all. I was including the DSD-S in my opinion about running direct. I listened to the DSD-S direct for about 20 min to completely firm up what I knew in the first 2 minutes.... I like my sound pumped through my Criterion better. As always, my op... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD I'm sure there will always be new DAC's and more expensive kits to consider. Vitus, Aesthetix, Allnic, Lampy Big7(and then Big8,9......)This coming Wednesday I will give the DSD-S another listen and listen to my ODSE, cooking for almost a week by ... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Steve - the advantages of your volume control make perfect sense, but your knob is still more of an attenuator then a formal volume control. It doesn't go down to silent, or really anywhere close to silent. It can adjust the music within my listen... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Audiolabyrinth and Rrsclyde - Thank you both for the input and info. I am certainly open and interested in giving the Aesthitix Signature DAC a listen (either the Romulus or Pandora). I'm just waiting to get the email or call from John (my local d... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD UPDATE:I am currently burning in the DSD-S with my DVD player via SPDIF and my ODSE via USB from my computer. I will try, next week, to compare PC's, USB cables and software with the DSD-S as Alex requested. Unfortunately, I don't have the time to... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD I would ask all involved to make an effort to highlight their own gear's strength's and not point out any other DAC's weaknesses. Specific descriptions of what tech is used and why you think its best are fine. Let's avoid mud slinging though…All o... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Alex, can you please educate me?"Analog Devices converter chips" - what does this statement mean exactly? Are you comparing PCM converted to Analog directly vs PCM to DSD to Analog? Or are you referring to Steve's "older" USB Off Ramp 5 conversion... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD BigKidz - Thank you for your generous offer. But I have my time dedicated to burning in my new ODSE and to giving Alex's DSD-S the time it deserves as he so generously offered to get the DAC to me for an honest and public evaluation. I must credit... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD I need to build some type of stand. I just don't have time. I'm trying to do 20 minutes of projects with 40 seconds to do it in. Sigh.... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Also, I didn't try any hi-res music yet. I will do that next week as well. I'm trying to be fair and give everything a solid listen. It's very demanding of my time and concentration. Fun, but not easy. | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Alex - I was listening a lot that day and really concentrating. To be honest, I think I took on way to many variables. I plan, next week, on focusing on just swapping pc's, USB cables and alternating between Amarra and Audirvana using your DSD-S. ... |
