| Dac Technology Mature? Archimedes has firmed up at 2 to 1 odds, but I heard someone was offering 200 to 1 odds that Plato invented Delta Sigma theory. How do I get some of that action?! | |

| SQ lacking @shadorne I can’t quite fully agree with your statement "FWIW - if it doesn’t sound excellent out of the box then it never will". Some loudspeakers i’ve heard have sounded bright, closed in and rather flat out of the box, only to smooth out, open ... | |
| new Walker Velocitor The Velocitor Mk5 passive conditioner has had the benefit of continuous development over time, like the different versions of Walker’s Proscenium tt. It looks like a nicely put together product. Another similiarly priced passive conditioner which ... | |
| If cost was no factor, what system would you build as your main audio system? @jond I could see Shindo being a great match with repro WE horns. Though the larger models need a big room and tall ceiling to get the best from them. Hence in most real world home situations, I prefer cones & domes and line arrays which are e... | |
| Auditioned Magico A3 - VERY DARK... @soundsrealaudio, You know I was ambivalent as to whether to bother writing up my review of the A3’s because of how much time and effort I knew it would take to it to do it right. But after reading your post, I will now prioritize posting up that ... | |
| If cost was no factor, what system would you build as your main audio system? jond 05-13-2018 8:45am 3,120 postsI think some lovely restored Western Electric gear would work nicely. And field coil open baffle speakers. And a new bigger room for them! That would be a lot of fun @jond .Did you catch the rare Model 12A &... | |
| If cost was no factor, what system would you build as your main audio system? Thanks Jim for your kind words. I had a think about a lower budget (for me anyway) system if I had to sell of my current rig for any reason or hit leaner times which is simple, approachable & punches well above its weight ...- Magico A3’s + S ... | |
| Rowland Model 10 vs Classe CA-2200 I previously owned a Classe CAP-2100 integrated which is from the Delta series, hence the same house sound. The little integrated had a stable psu which doubles down @ 4 ohms and high current, though it struggled to drive my Infinity Renaissance 9... | |
| If cost was no factor, what system would you build as your main audio system? ..but for many of the rest of us, even though we are quite happy with the systems we’ve built, maybe our dream system, if financially possible, would be something other, or more, than what we now have. What components do you now have and (if finan... | |
| Dac Technology Mature? @ejr1953 I agree with you that dacs have greatly improved over the years, but not because of radical improvements in dac chips. More so for the reasons I eluded to earlier. Component and material quality, psu’s, upsamplers, clock accuracy, boards,... | |
| Dac Technology Mature? frozentundra OP 08-04-2018 11:07pm 105 postsGents;. And Ladies!You are all wrong.... Then why ask for input if you could answer your own question & were not well disposed to alternate points of view? We could have all been spending our time ... | |
| Dac Technology Mature? I think some members are confusing terms, as in adolescence > maturity > dotting off to the nursing home. I reckon it’s fair to say that after 50+ years of constant development, DAC technology has reached “maturity”.Dac technology has been l... |
