Wilson Audio or JM Lab
The Maxx ll is Wilson Audio's best kept secret as it has much of the X-2 technology at 1/3 the price. They are so good that Wilson Audio is discontinuing the higher priced X-1's.For a 400 sq ft room (20 x 20 ) my bet is they will work just fine. I...

I lied. I just verified with Philip O'Hanlon and it is the NEW CDSD which upsamples to 2X DSD. Either the DCC2 or the DAC6e will be able to read this

RMaurinAs best as I am aware the DAC6e with the discrete DAC's is the only unit which can read 2X DSD.The DCC2 does NOT have the discrete Meitner DAC's so I am unsure what you are hearing

As I said "alleged"I spoke to Andreas Koch (who is a neighbor of mine)last week. They were to have released an upgrade with ceramic rather than silicone boards however talking to him, they weren't that pleased withthe sound and are continuing to w...

Fsarc"Also- what if Jeff Fritz had written a review of the Wilson X-2s or EMM DAC 6/CDSD and it was basically the same "tone" as the Dart review- honest, good reporting of what he heard, but felt these components were not competitive at their give...

"2. People in general may have their own agendas. It is no secret to people that have some connection to this world that money sometimes talks. Advertising dollars and $$$ in general can sometimes have an impact on a review. That is why reviews (a... 
Has anyone heard the Ref 3?
Looking forward to it. 
Has anyone heard the Ref 3?
we should have another a/b test then to give it a second chance.You attributed the lack of performance that day to the type of cabling used? 
Has anyone heard the Ref 3?
EthannI might ask you--how do you know it wasn't your L2 that was colored and the Ref 3 wasn't? 
Has anyone heard the Ref 3?
Well Ethan we should try the demo again because I would still have to disagree. I am uncertain what you mean that the Ref 3 "has a slight agenda"

Has anyone heard the Ref 3?
GmorrisYou have one hell of a good looking systemLike you I use the Walker SST and now the Extreme SST and amazed at the sonic change in my system. Sorry to be off topic. 
Meitner SACD1000 owners....
I agree with all of the above. I owned the SACD 1000 before I bought the CDSD. I was told by the people at EMM Labs that it would ultimately fail. I sold it before it did.Having said that I would go on to add that IMO there is simply no better fro...
