| THE NEW DCS APEX DAC VS THE PREVIOUS ROSSINI I got it from a trusted source that the main upgrade was the analog output stage. Not sure where you're getting the sense that the Ring DAC was changed at all. Ok on the matched levels, I didn't get that from the review above. The Ring DAC / An... | |
| THE NEW DCS APEX DAC VS THE PREVIOUS ROSSINI Thank you for the review. I am a Rossini + Clock owner. I bought my unit from JS Audio actually. Cost of upgrade for both Rossini and Vivaldi is $9k. They share the same Ring Dac + Analog output board, hence the same cost. The upgrade involves... | |
| Update from EMM XDS1 to XDS1 V2 The XDs1 v2 and the DAC2x have the same DAC component, and both have had updates last year to MDAT2. I suspect the XDS1 v1 DAC is not able per-se to take the new firmware, but I don't know this for a fact. | |

| Avantgarde Duos: Omega or Mezzo? Whart: Problem w the Avantgarde (which is what I'm looking at) is they come in various finishes so there are a myriad of possible combinations. Plus the Mezzo is $54k (+tax) so they get made to order in Germany. Bob Visintainer from Rhapsody in NY... | |
| Avantgarde Duos: Omega or Mezzo? Thanks Triode, makes perfect sense.I've actually decided for Mezzos for the bigger room. Any comments on:1- Placement away from walls2- Amp matching - currently thinking of an Audio Note JinroThanks! | |
| Avantgarde Duos: Omega or Mezzo? Maril555: BTW... Your observation simply means you must get Trios with basshorns. Then you can optimally position each... ;) | |
| Avantgarde Duos: Omega or Mezzo? BTW, yes agree mezzos would be crammed in the smaller room. | |
| Avantgarde Duos: Omega or Mezzo? Yes what you state is actually quite obvious (placement for image vs bass) since these are two different wavelengths. If your room is big enough this is likely less of a problem. Interesting point, never thought of it.I think I've decided for the ... | |
| Avantgarde Duos: Omega or Mezzo? Maril555: Nice system! Noticed you have subwoofers. Is this b/c the Duo Omega won't go low enough? | |
| Avantgarde Duos: Omega or Mezzo? I have two possible rooms:1- Guest br: 16ft x 12ft (about 18sqm which is less than the 20 recommended) - Could consider room treatments here.2- Main room: 42ft x 24ft. No room treatments here.My main concern with the Omega is that I've read that b... | |

| Amp recommendation for Paradigm Studio 100 v3? Mdhoover: thanks for your response.My system should be a source of enjoyment to me, something that makes me listen to the music. As soon as I start needing to futz around and listen to how something sounds, that's the end of the enjoyment to me. M... | |
| Amp recommendation for Paradigm Studio 100 v3? Perkadin: Agreed. I have a pair of old Paradigms (silk dome tweeters) which I modified over the years (new cross-overs, etc). These are very musical, albeit they don't image well. I'm just surprised that reviews of the Paradigms are for the most p... |
