| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Branimir, Could you describe (although #1.8 indicates what type of sound) little more on Metronome C-2A/Kalista combo sound? How much etching?, if any. What kind of music you auditioned? What sampling rate was used? Thx. | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Exlibris, Does this mean you are going to let go the Altmann DAC? Why not go with Zanden tubed linestage? (Synergy). I am glad u provided inputs. That is one up for Zanden in my book, As I continue to struggle with my own Transport DAC upgrade, th... | |
| Why so few turntable reviews? It is a curious observation an a true one at that. You hardly ever see one on a cover of an audio mag. Unless it is a statement piece(Like high cost Caliburn). Otherwise you might find some review in an analog corner or something. Besides there ar... | |

| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Thanks Exlibris. Let me know when you have completed trying both DACs out with different linestages. Different out puts may not make big difference if you compare with right volume match. Agree that synergy and system match big difference as to ho... | |
| APL NWO2.5 ? Are there any owners of NWO 2.5 in LA area? I Would love to audition this unit.Apogee made an excellent effort to convey the sound signature of the NWO 2.5 and differentiate from typical digital sound. I agree, Live music should be the absolute re... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Exlibris, Thanks for Zanden and Attraction initial comparo. I am sure you would like to break the Zanden a bit, even though it is used, before making a final rating scale on it. But inital comparision would indicate, per your earlier definition of... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? All you have to do is here is one live musial event of a particular genre (Jazz, Rock or classical), make a lot mental notes, come home put one LP of same genre and style (of course the same exact music is even better), listen carefully. Then whil... | |
| Transrotor Sirius I have one in my other system. I think the metal platter does contribute the solid sound that Marty is decribing. I have Lyra De capo mounted on the stock rega arm. I A/B ed this set up with much more expesnive Transrotor Orfeo/triplanar/sheltor 5... | |
| Bob Dylan's Modern Times, a new Masterpiece? Has anyone bought the vinyl of the Modern times and does it sound compressed(going by Shadorn's comment above)as the CD? | |
| Best object in your listening room. A cabinet full of 1:12 and 1:18 scale old and new porsche model cars. Few notables are the boxsters (few colors and both 986 and 987 models), 550 spyder, 356 speedsters, Classic 911's, Carrera GTs, GT1, and even a Porsche tractor:-). Few Ferraris ... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Exlibris, Although it is only one week since you got the Zanden DAC, I (and I am sure many others) eagerly awaits your impression on the Zanden Sonics. And its comparision to the upgraded attraction DAC. Zanden reviews that I read are extraordinar... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Finally, I finished this thread from start to finish, over last few weeks. Lots of good first hand impressions on variety of Transport/DAC combos. Quite a few folks have done a pretty good job of describing the auditions they have had. Using the s... | |
| Who makes switch-box for balance inputs? Ncwogger, Like I said back to back switching with switch on and without did not changed sound drastically. But you can tell direct connection without switch was slightly/very slightly better. | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? Thanks Mmakhak, I will fine and look up Alex's website. I need a cd transport/dac combo that don't do no monkey business-:). I am still debating among DCS stack, Emm Labs, MBL and Metronome. If it delivers analog like sound for reals that It is a ... |
