Jeff Rowland
A sincere thanks to everyone who took the time to respond. This thread is representative of how posting a question can be of value...at least to me! I asked the same question to Jeff Rowland technical support and a dealer. I'm disappointed that th... 
Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC
Ok, so what's better? Soundstage, bass, midrange? I'll have a M1 shortly and if I agree with your assessment, I'll be sure to post it! Listening always makes it clear.

Stringreen,Do I detect a little sarcasm in your comments? 
Jeff Rowland
Al,Thanks for the technical information. Now it makes sense why Rowland was hesitant to say for sure bridged 525s would work. 
Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC
If you read my comments, I didn't say a particular DAC was better. My point was this is all subjective and no matter how good we submit something is, there is always better. The most recent DAC I listened to was the Esoteric. I didn't compare it t... 
Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC
Fsmithjack,Reading your comments highlights what's wrong with highend. I compared the M1 two days ago to a directstream in my friends system. Yes, the M1 is better, but to my ears to say now that the Directstream is a piece a junk is laughable. I ... 
Rockport Avior or Magico S5
Speakers and audio are very subjective and one man's poison, is another one's medicine. I've listened to Aviors several times and just can't understand the appeal. The best speaker that I've heard in that general price are the Raidho C3.1s. 
Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC
I know price isn't always an indication of sound quality, but I don't understand why it's a shock that the Bricasti M1 sounds better than the Direct Stream...it should, it cost 1 1/2 times as much. When I purchased my Direct Stream my dealer told ... 
Digital Amplifier Questions
G.,There are a few things that were obvious from the beginning that I can address:Overall stage and image sizes: compared to the A21, image size appears to be the correct height/size with the M525...the A21 is relatively flat and images appeared b... 
Digital Amplifier Questions
G.,The M525 is used; however it only has approximately 60 hours on it. In a couple of days I will post my thoughts. 
Digital Amplifier Questions
I never thought changing from an Parasound A21 to the 525 would yield so many improvements...the most noticeable is spacing between instruments.In my system the highs are musical,real,great tonality, and the mids are even better. The bass compared... 
Musical Fidelity KW500 and Rowland Continuum S2
I have the JR 525, but it's my understanding that the S2 is a step or two above the 525. 
Musical Fidelity KW500 and Rowland Continuum S2
Arsh,I can't compare the JR 525 to Musical Fidelity, because I've never listen to MF. In the context of my system the JR 525 is very musical. I never thought changing from an Parasound A21 to the 525 would yield some many improvements...the most i... 
Musical Fidelity KW500 and Rowland Continuum S2
Arsh,I have owned and/or listened to several Class D, A, and AB amplifiers. I recently had an Jeff Rowland 125 for two weeks and now a JR 525. Based on my experience JR Class D amplifiers don't sound like "Class D" amplifiers. To my ears both JR a... 
Digital Amplifier Questions
Guidocorona,I agree it was just a lack of overall power(my room is 20'x26'). The image size and stage was the best I've ever heard. We had this conversation privately. My plans are to get a 525. I really love the Jeff Rowland sound.
