| Review: Accustic Arts Reference Tube Hybrid DAC II DA converter Wow, I recently heard the Metronome Kalista, and as impressive as it looks, the sound wasn't all that fantastic. The rest of the system didn't help and the room was a hotel room, so not completely fair assessment. However, they were quoting the ne... | |
| Review: Accustic Arts Reference Tube Hybrid DAC II DA converter Shahedk, just be aware that the AA tube DAC II does not handle SACD source material or DVD-A, only redbook CD. | |
| Review: Accustic Arts Reference Tube Hybrid DAC II DA converter Thansk TJ for your quick reply.

| Review: Accustic Arts Reference Tube Hybrid DAC II DA converter Teajay, what digital interconnect(s) are you using between the Transport and DAC and from the DAC to your pre? Have you experimented at all with this and are you using any isolation under both? | |
| Review: Accustic Arts Reference Tube Hybrid DAC II DA converter Understand, on the other hand I have a few very, very well recorded 16-bit 44.1Khz RBCDs that puts the majority of recordings, including most SACDs, out there to shame...I think the sampling question is a relevant one, but it shouldn't be taken ou... | |
| Review: Accustic Arts Reference Tube Hybrid DAC II DA converter OK, I see what you mean. Yeah, any company's choice to limit their product specifications to best match their own transport, or even in the case of the Accuphase DC801 which only works with their own DP800 transport. Can't blame them for following... | |
| Review: Accustic Arts Reference Tube Hybrid DAC II DA converter Smeyers, my EMMlabs samples upto 5.6Mhz, both CD and SACD, however the same CDs and SACDs I compared sounded better through the AA Tube DAC II, more analog, better imaging, better defined and clearer sound stage, more depth. All I'm saying is that... | |

| Review: Accustic Arts Reference Tube Hybrid DAC II DA converter Thank's Hotbird for posting the link to the AA room. Can't really tell, other than it doesn't look like a big ole Oracle transport ... :-) | |

| The best speaker you ever heard? The question is fine, it basically asks what the best speaker is that YOU have heard. That means nobody can argue against that, EVER. It just says a lot about that responders personal experience. If Mr Tennis feels that the Quads are his best ever... | |
