| Classe's New CP-800 Pre-amp/DAC. Impressions? 12 voltThank you for your response. Do you (or anyone you know) have any experience in drag racing the DAC section of the CP-800 with DACS like the Berkeley Alpha DAC, Weiss DAC 202, ARC DAC 8, Playback Designs or DCS DACs?Also what preamps in you... | |
| Classe's New CP-800 Pre-amp/DAC. Impressions? It sounds like you are im impressed with the preamp section performance given some of the other manufacturers you listed. How are you finding the performance of the DAC section? What other DACs do you find it comparable or superior to? I'd also be... | |
| Input on Spectral DMC 30SL I also did a direct A/B of the Spectral SDR 4000 Pro versus the Alpha DAC fed by a High End dedicated PC based music server, and I must say I could not tell the difference either. That will probably be the way I go with my system, especially given... | |
| Phono Circuit Difference Between Spectral Preamps? I am using a spectral DMC 12 as a dedicated outboard phono preamp. It used to be my full function preamp until I got a DMC30 SL. The phono section of the DMC 12 sounds pretty good, but not as good as the phono section in the DMC 20. If you're goin... | |
| Eggleston Andra III vs Magico V3 vs VA The Music I am an Avalon Eidolon owner and I can tell you flat out that you cannot compare the Indra's to the Eidolons. The Indras incorporates newer technology based on the ISIS and sound markedly better to my ears. If you are going to drag race V3's and A... | |
| Music Server vs. PC vs. Transport vs. ? Any of you guys plan on being at CES this year? I know Audioengr will have a room, but I was wondering if anyone else might be attending. Maybe we can hook up and browse around together up for a while? Please feel free to drop me an email if you a... | |

| Anybody else heard the Avalon Acoustics Isis? Dazzdax and Sirspeedy, I would like to address both of your comments about the 101E's and the rock concert volume levels they are demonstated at during shows. This is true, and I did voice this criticism to the MBL personnel doing the demo's when ... | |
| Music Server vs. PC vs. Transport vs. ? Deshapiro, I also wanted to follow-up with you on why your enthusiasm waned on the wavelength audio Crimson USB DAC solution that you put into your system. If memory serves me correct, you went the distance with Alex at Aplhifi explaining how good... | |
| Anybody else heard the Avalon Acoustics Isis? Branimir, Dev said that the Isis was a step up from the Eidolon Diamond, not the other way around. Regarding the MBL's, all I can say is that the first time I heard them was at RMAF 2 years ago, and I did not know what to think. The presentation w... | |
| Music Server vs. PC vs. Transport vs. ? Deshapiro, I will be at CES and would love to hear the purpose built PC demo that your dealer will be doing with Rockport. What is your dealer's name and do you know what hotel/room they will be in? | |
| Music Servers VS Excellent Transports? I am new to this area and was wondering if someone can provide a brief explanation as to the differences between using:Slim Devices Transporter Modright's version of Slim Devices TransporterWavelength Audio USB DACEmpirical Audio's products (PaveC... | |
| Anybody else heard the Avalon Acoustics Isis? Dev, One other question regarding the 101E's. Have you driven them or given thought to driving them with the Spectron Musician III Class D amplifier? There are a number of threads on this forum (as well as on audioreview.com) that absolutely swear... | |
| Anybody else heard the Avalon Acoustics Isis? Hi Dev, I think I heard the Ascendo's at THE Show this past January. If I'm not mistaken it's a lacquer finished black box woofer bottom with a second slimmer laquer finished black box top with a horn loaded (I think as it appeared to be recessed ... | |
| Anybody else heard the Avalon Acoustics Isis? Pascanli, you raise an interesting point with the Revel Salon 2. Given the gushing "cost no object" speaker award that TAS gave it in the latest issue, one can't help but be curious about what all the "hollering" is about with this speaker. I woul... |
