| Most Challenging CD Magfan, that sounds like the winner for realism attack. If the shot has a ear piercing snap and shock to it's delivery, it should make you jump. | |
| Most Challenging CD Geoffkait, did you know one of those Dafos recordings are selling for $125 on Amazon? | |
| best transport? Tatw, I have a wide range of CDs. All of them sound the best ever. Any defects also showed up quite plain. Oh well, I don't have many of those at all because almost of my CDs are known for their great recording and mixing. | |
| best transport? I have the 47 Lab Flatfish. Busyk, what is your DAC? I didn't like the 47 Lab DAC. Used in conjunction with my Audio Note Extreme, the 47 Lab Flatfish with power supply, Dumpty, is a kick ass transport. I don't believe there is any equal. It needs... | |
| Why do I always like a source with Burr Brown DAC? Sgr and Pani, The receiver chip is a CS8414 connected via i2S tp a non oversampled unfiltered DAC Analog Devices AD 1865. That chip arrangement is ubiquitous to all Audio Note DACs. The big difference in my DAC lies in my diode choice. Four diodes... | |
| Why do I always like a source with Burr Brown DAC? I'll bite. Burr Brown DACs are used in conjunction with oversampling and digital filtering. This gives the music a nice clean cut sound. And, there lies the problem with Burr Brown. While cutting the measurable distortion, it also cuts all the lit... | |
| Oh how I wish Class D amps ... Dob and Athmasphere, your amps sound clean. So do the others. I have used a number of AB amps, and though the builder of such amps will say they have canceled out all distortion, they don't hold a candle to the clarity my ICE amps have. I found th... | |
| Oh how I wish Class D amps ... I agree with others, I can't hear any second order harmonics distortion on my system. I do know what that term means. I have heard all tube systems where their coloration is quite noticeable. Spectron is just tooting it's own horn IMO. | |
| Oh how I wish Class D amps ... Mapman was absolutely right saying,"If you want Class D to sound good to you bad enough, maybe try building your system around a Class D amp of choice."I have the same class D amps, the H2O for 7 years. My system now is clear through every frequen... | |
| Most Challenging CD Oh yeah, there are those discs that are produced in an insanely high level. I don't count those, because their dynamic headroom is restricted. | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Less Loss is a pure stream, so is claimed. Unfortunately, the resulting data has to a go through an interface before the DAC. True? Right now, the info gleaned by my super faithful transport feeds the DAC directly. | |
| a better digital front I have had wild success by matching the 47 Lab Flatfish with an Audio Note 2.1 DAC. I have run a variety of all sorts of sources through my system and non even approach this pairing's height of performance. | |
| Speaker Cable Requirements 1 Ohm Load Short runs are always preferable, and when using cold ICE monos, they can be stacked. | |
| Most Challenging CD Hey, Shadorne, I just got finished playing Dire Straits, "Brother in Arms." This is one of the best produced CDs ever. | |
| Natural and Neutral could be boring .. Natural, neutral, and life-like are all the same thing in my book. |
