| New Yggdrasil - First (and second) Impressions When I replaced my Jeff Rowland Aeris DAC with the Dave, there was an obvious difference from the first note. Yesterday, I replaced my Wireworld power cords with Shunyata Sigma, again from the first note there is an obvious difference. | |
| Chord Dave skanda,I've tried the Dave direct and prefer the Dave with a preamp. In my system it's not close, but every system is different. | |
| Chord Dave limniscate,You say, "I was underwhelmed with the Dave in my system." That's why I always say, no absolutes in Audio, only preferences. I submit we put too much focus on individual components and forget it's a system. The Chord Dave is just outstan... | |
| Chord Dave Well I tried the Chord Dave direct tonight. I had my wife play her favorite songs. She immediately asked me what I did. She simply said, "something didn’t sound right." I started writing down my thoughts:1. two dimensional-height, width, and depth... | |
| Chord Dave It should read music server, not media server. | |
| Chord Dave It's my understanding that you can connect a media server to the Blu mkII and it will upsample to improve the sound. Can anyone comment on the sonic impact of combination of the Blu mkII with the Dave? | |
| Chord Dave Greetings limniscate,I haven’t had the opportunity to hear the Blu MkII upscaling CD transport. I have a music server and can’t justify getting the Blu upscaler...at least not yet:)! My friend asked me to try one, but I refused. I'm going to play ... | |
| Chord Dave jond,Thanks. This is a crazy "hobby"! As the saying goes, one man's medicine, is another man's poison. My friend tried the Dave and wasn't overwhelmed with it in his system. I'm on the opposite end of the spectrum. I submit it's the most significa... | |
| Wonderful visit and 5-star customer service at Audio Doctor in Jersey City, NJ! For what it's worth...I've sent private messages to Dave several times. He has taken his time to provide advice on ways to improve my system without changing my main components. Its not all about sales to me. | |
| No-one talks about Rowlands anymore I submit Rowland just doesn't put a lot of money into marketing. I've talked to Mr. Rowland several times and he was always knowledgeable, helpful, and very kind. His customer service is outstanding. | |
| No-one talks about Rowlands anymore It’s my understanding they do very well overseas. I have the Class AB 625 S2 and have compared it to several amps. The only amplifier that I preferred over the 625 is Absolare mono-amps. Rowland doesn't do marketing the way some very popular high-... | |
| Power Cord I had Wireworld Platinum power cords, but they were only 1 meter. I moved my components around and required one 2 meter and one 2.5 meter power cords. Today I decided to try Wireworld Silver Electra 7 with upgraded plugs. After listening all day, ... | |
| Power Cord I received several PM's and they all recommend Shunyata Sigma NR, but I don't want to spend $3K on a power cord. I guess I'm crazy for spending money on everything else, but not power cords? | |
| Mega D'Appolito Speakers - The Holy Grail? Bo1972,There are no absolutes in audio, only preferences. There are many, many outstanding speakers to choose from. | |
| Magico S5 vs KEF Blade 2 vs TAD Evo One vs YG Kipod II Sig w/pwr bass I've listened to Kef Blades several times and they just don't do anything for me. I currently own Monitor Audio PL500 IIs. If you get the opportunity give them a listen. I'm going to listen to Magico S3 MKII this week. |
