| New DACs High End Munich 2023 @pindac , I am not sure if I would prefer valve in my DAC. Valve in preamp is the best I can do. I do not want valves in my amp or DAC. And the Merason does not do DSD and hence is a non-starter for me. But Thank You for the suggestion. | |
| New DACs High End Munich 2023 Hi @badgerdms , I use the Mazda greyplates from 1960s. I got them from Jesse Brent with extended warranty. Andy at Backert is a genuine and very helpful guy. I have talked to hm at length. Did you get the HP tubes from him? If yes, how do you like... | |
| New DACs High End Munich 2023 @jayctoy , I have been reading glowing reviews about this DAC for some time now. When this DAC was introduced, there was 1 user who had mentioned that they prefered the DAC 8 DSD over the DAC 200. But 99% of the users who own this DAC have nothing... | |
| New DACs High End Munich 2023 Looks like the world's supply chain issues are over - now that the Okto DAC is readily available to be purchased on their site for the past 2 weeks. While this is something that I can purchase right now, I am heavily leaning towards the T+A, espec... | |
| What does it take to be a die hard Beatles fan? I was born AFTER the Beatles disbanded. But I have all their original Albums (not the BBC,etc) and they get regular play in my system. I like they music making and that makes me a fan. I have never watched their documentary nor any other film. May... | |
| Question about Shunyata Power Conditioners @willgolf +1 | |
| New DACs High End Munich 2023 Ok, let me check that out too. Thanks. Was trying to find more information on new DACS and read about Henry Audio DAC. Of course not something that I am looking for; but had not heard of them before. | |
| New DACs High End Munich 2023 @jayctoy , I have not read a single bad review about the Marantz. While it is not my top choice, it is a device that I could live with a very long time, since I used to own a Marantz a few years ago and I know the house sound. | |
| New DACs High End Munich 2023 @ja_kub_sz , Thanks for the recommendation. Yes, I have seen it go both ways. But some do love it and are very happy with the Musetec. | |
| New DACs High End Munich 2023 @jayctoy , I will be looking for the following DACs, but will take my time - Chord Hugo TT2 , Terminator Plus, Okto Stereo and Bricasti. I want to visit some bigger cities before I am able to make a decision. My timeline is in the next 3-6 months.... | |
| New DACs High End Munich 2023 Buy a DAC that you won’t feel the need to upgrade in a year or two So, if you notice my system, I am long time "keeper. I am not a person who sells within 4-5 years. Most of my components are long term and I try to derive maximum joy before mov... | |
| New DACs High End Munich 2023 @pindac , Please feel free to add your friends impressions here on this thread. Goal is to understand the new stuff and what people felt about the product as such. Photos are not really needed, since Google is our friend 🙂 @old_ears , I am reall... | |
| New DACs High End Munich 2023 One thing I did forget to mention, since folks discussed using the Oppo's HDMI. The CD playback from my current Oppo is "average". When you playback using USB, it is a vastly positive experience. The last time I used it as a CD player was in June-... | |
| New DACs High End Munich 2023 @jayctoy , I understand your requirement now. I did see that you have multiple systems. Yes, love the Rhumba, especially with the NOS Mazda tubes. I really have no preference to tech when it comes to DACs. Chip, R2R, FPGA, does not matter. All th... | |
| New DACs High End Munich 2023 @jayctoy , You already own the excellent Marantz SA10. I am wondering what this player/DAC lacks? If I had that one, I would simply stop looking. But maybe you are searching for something different? @arafiq , Believe me, the T+A DAC 200 is on t... |
