| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Audiolabyrinth, If the 5814 will not work in your player, the 12BH7 surely will not. It draws exactly double the heater current that the 12AU7 does. I seriously doubt that the 5814 will do any harm to your situation. It only draws a fraction more ... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Audiolabyrinth:For 12AX7, the Mullard 10M are damn hard to beat. Very linear, focused, and dimensional.12AU7, there is only one that will keep up with the 6SN7, and that is the CBS 7318. This was CBS answer to the audio grade Telefunken ECC802S. U... | |

| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD That's tough... Pretty small room for your speakers. However, I'd be tempted in trying to use the room with the freedom to do as you chose. Even if it means building a second system, or replacing your large speakers with a good full range monitor ... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Alex,Sounds like my kind of DAC.. I'd like to compare your DAC to my Totaldac rig, but we can't all be as cool as Matt ;)The Totaldac is something else IME. It is extremely raw sounding, meaning whatever and everything that is on the file, is what... | |
| Wyred4sound, Lampizator 4 I'd say these 2 DAC's should compete nicely, if they both are given an excellent digital source. Just MO. | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Hey Matt,I don't remember reading, and it may very well be in this thread somewhere, but could you list or point me to the rundown of your system for context? I read which amps you have, but perhaps a detailed list including the power delivery set... | |
