| Comparing Wadia vs. Meitner Could I interject something here? The relative cost? How much is the Wadia we are talking about and how much is the EMM labs...total. The Wadia doesn't need a pre- amp and Meitner learned that and incorporated it into his latest piece. The analog ... | |
| Comparing Wadia vs. Meitner I too have heard the emm labs dac compared to dcs and Wadia combo. I think the emmlabs equipment is being hyped on audiogon by some interested parties. I've been looking up power cords and have seen paragraphs on the Emm labs stuff. There are at l... | |
| Krell sacd+Chord Dac64 Help please Doesn't the dac 64 have a reclocking set up that can be bypassed? That my ay be it. You may also have a static build up or a short. | |
| Krell sacd standard I would agree that the drawer does not inspire confidence, but after talking to Krell techs. and hearing how it locks up when closed was reasurring. I had a BAT player that clanked like that too. It's the way it comes from Phillips.As I've said be... | |
| KRELL SACD or TEAC Esoteric DV-50 There are a lot of Krell haters out there. Listen for your self. | |
| KRELL SACD or TEAC Esoteric DV-50 I'm going to stick my neck out and say that the Krell SACD Standard is the best value in digital right now. $2800 used and it is equal to the Wadia 861 I had on cd and equal to the Marantz SA-1 I had on SACD. I've had dcs and Pass dacs with a cec ... | |
| Not happy with Krell SACD I have had a really positve experience with the Krell. It takes forever to burn in and needs to be left on standby always. Do you have siver cables? They are bright> | |
| Redbook Audio Aero Prima vs SACD palyer? I've had the Wadia 861, the DCS stack(w/o dsd) Sony SCD777ES, Marantz SA-1, PassD-1 with a CECTL1-X transport and I have to say that anyone who doesn't hear the difference between a high-end sacd player and high end cd is just missing something. I... | |
| DACs: Burmester vs. Meitner vs. dcs I just spent the weekend in New York and was able to hear the dcs and the emm labs in the same room. Again, I found the dcs superior to the emm labs in cd playback and about equal in sacd mode. If my memory serves...the Burmester sounded better th... | |
| DACs: Burmester vs. Meitner vs. dcs Again, the DCS gear is optimized for direct connection to an amp. Pass Labs D-1 and the DCS are the only ones I've personally heard that will actually drive any length of cable and sound top notch. Camelot Uther is anothernice one I heard but lowe... | |
| DACs: Burmester vs. Meitner vs. dcs I talked to EMM Labs about running a Placette passive volume control and they did not reccommend it. It's not a sufficient current output and the signal would be out of balance regarding tone. | |
| EMM Labs DAC6 vs. latest version dCS The dcs stuff on the new market is nuts I agree. I'm talking used here. I'm selling my dcs set up for 5500 now pre-amp. Figure out what the EMM or Zanden stuff costs right now. A self serving comment because I am selling some, but, I usually think... | |
| EMM Labs DAC6 vs. latest version dCS The problem with the EMM labs comparison to the DCS business is that people are running the DCS through a pre-amp just like the EMM labs has to be. That''s missing the whole point, or at least half the point with DCS... read their website. They go... | |
| DACs: Burmester vs. Meitner vs. dcs There's so much hype about EMM labs that I have get my two cets in here. I live in Seattle, Blue Light Audio is in Portland (EMM's distributor) and I have heard the EMM labs gear in several systems for extended periods. I don't think the EMM labs ... | |
| Transport for a dCS Delius - HELP I am actually considering selling my proceed cdd soon so your discussion caught my eye. I currently have a delius/purcell combo and am using the proceed with it with great results. I've had the sony sacd players, and the marantz SA-1 and can tell ... |
