| Melos Audio Restoration going strong... I have never had to send any of my Melos gear to MAR. I sold my amp (MAT-180) a few month ago and still have the Maestro linestage. Since I still own a Melos preamp I am still interested in reading posts about Melos. Man it was good reading this m... | |

First a Pioneer DV-414 then to the DV-333 then the DV-343. The Cal sounded close enough to the Pioneer DVD players. I now just bought ... | |
| Kora Hermes or EVS Millenium or Audio Note DAC One.1x? I am using a Audio Note Dac 1.1x and really like it. The receiver chip (Crystal chip) does receive 24/96, but the Analog Devices dac chip will only receive 18 bits. It is not a problem inserting a 24 bit signal, but you will only get 18 bit resolu... | |
