| DAC msb if you want a tube loke sound, in the classic sense, the original zanden will do. i am not sure of its selling price.i do also agree with the eastern electric selection with the appropriate tube and op amps. | |
| Worlds best DAC hi chadeffect:it's not possible to audition all dacs that ever existed. while i appreciate your enthusiasm for the weiss medea, i have auditioned it myself several times, with different transports. i prefer the original zanden to the weiss dac. pe... | |
| the natural sound of a cymbal i own the drum record. i was hoping someone might recommend a mapleshade disc. | |
| Worlds best DAC what might be worth doing is to compare a "hi rez" file or disc , with the redbook version.i have done this, as i own, several reference recording cds and hi rez discs.i found that one is different but not better than the other.i have also been th... | |
| Agood dac for my devore nines and leben system. hi bolero323:you have not stated what your sonic preferences are.i will therefore suggest two tubed dacs:havana, or minimax (the first)-- available used for around $575. | |
| HasCD sound exceeded expectations since 1983? i own cds which i believe on my digital front, end will rival many turn table, arm and cartridge setups.one in particular, is "chromatic fantasy and fugue", trevor pinnock playing bach harpsichord selections. | |
| Why do I like Class AB better than Class A? it is possible you prefer greater resolution in the ab mode that you feel is lacking in the a mode.i would imagine that in class a, your amp is an electric bill.the plinius was recommended to me to use with panel speakers.i would like to hear what... | |

| Are you a Verificationist about audio? i thought that the discussion had ended. i did not think an explanation was necessary. however. you deserve one because you have invested time and effort and i owe you an explanation here it is.that which accrues from senses is probably true and p... | |
| Are you a Verificationist about audio? sorry about a typo, byron:you made an assumption perhaps that the spelling of your first name was not an unintended error, and it seemed a personal affront on your part. i was writing fast and made a mistake.i hope you can allow for the fact that ... | |
| warm digital cable audiofreak32, you are entitled to your opinion, but i'll take the original zanden dac with a good transport or cal audio labs tempest. there are probably other tube based digital fron ends worthy of consideration. | |
| Worlds best DAC i agree with bflowers assessment of the zanden, but in its original version, rather than the current version.the original had more of a classic tube sound. another dac worthy of consideration is an early version of the wavelength cosecant. | |
| Are you a Verificationist about audio? the question connoted in the thread "are you a verificationist ?"begs the question of a definitive method of verification.if you are trying to verify a perception, it seems that there is no way to do it which yields certainty of results.the world ... | |
