If you could maybe provide some links to professional revi... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD My Criterion and the Aeris are far from dark. The Criterion is toneless. The Capri S2 has a bit of a dark tinge, but the Criterion is not remotely dark, nor is the Aeris. In fact, the Aeris is currently a bit bright if anything. I just don't want ... | |

| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Merrill knew about it, and told me. It is not yet available. Merrill is working on some new gear and had a few days to offer the MA1 to me now. I think he will need it for a while after that. I said thank you and took the opportunity. :) | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD UPDATE: Merrill of Merrill Audio was kind enough to lend me his Meitner MA-1 DAC. I picked it up this morning. It is well burned in and ready for a good listen, which I will do tomorrow morning if I can. My PS Audio DirectStream has been shipped (... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Ozzy - Advertising revenue?? You mean I can make money doing this?????
