| Review on Linear Tube Audio Aero DAC Hey Don, The Aero sounds great being driven by a Coax/SPDIF cable. Start with your Rotel as a transport with a good SPDIF cable and I'm sure you will be very pleased. Then you could later on add a dedicated transport and better digital cable. Rem... | |
| Has anybody had experience with Jena Labs Haldi AES-EBU digital cable Hey markusthenaiment, Jennifer sent me the Njord for review after I had received the outstanding and amazing Haldi cable. Totally agree, it's Freaking Amazing! I'll be writing reviews on both cables in the near future. How does your Valkyrie com... | |
| Review on Linear Tube Audio Aero DAC Hey soix, Totally agree with you, if Don likes AZ cables, the AZ MC2 would be a great addition. Of course CD transports make a difference regarding the performance of the DAC they are driving. I consider myself some what of a connoisseur regardi... | |
| Review on Linear Tube Audio Aero DAC Hey Don, Remember the Aero uses a chip nicknamed the "analog" DAC. Two of my closet friends who are die hard analog listeners, with excellent vinyl rigs, love the LTA Aero because it has an ease, overall warmth, and relaxation often associated wi... | |
| Review on Linear Tube Audio Aero DAC Hey markmuse, The Rockna is another fine DAC. I reviewed it a few years back. However, it’s more expensive then the LTA Aero, but I would rather have the Aero based on its presentation of music. A virtue of the Rockna is that it's volume control ... | |
| Review on Linear Tube Audio Aero DAC Hey mitch2, Wish I could help you, but never had any experience listening to the Merason DAC. Teajay | |
| Review on Linear Tube Audio Aero DAC Hey tksteingraber, LTA has been shipping for close to a couple of months already. The wait time is about two weeks. Teajay | |
| Review on Linear Tube Audio Aero DAC Hey dandion, I had a brief listening session awhile back with the Aqua Scala DAC, quite good, and yes, the LTA Aero DAC have a lot of musicality and sonic characteristics that are similar. If you like the much more expensive DAC you surely would ... | |
| Review on Linear Tube Audio Aero DAC Hey mm1tt77, Yes, I believe that the Coda 07x preamp with the LTA Aero DAC would be one beautiful combo! The 07x is one of my favorite SS preamplifiers and teaming it with the Aero would render a terrific musical presentation. Teajay | |
| Review on Linear Tube Audio Aero DAC Hey mitch2, Of all the 6SN7s I have in my collection the TungSol black glass/round plates have always been my favorites for three reasons: 1) The air and spatiality they create is really very remarkable. 2) The beauty of timbres/colors is very pr... | |
| Review on Linear Tube Audio Aero DAC Hey jetter, Yes, the Pass Labs DAC-1 is about that old. Mine was re-capped by Pass Labs and is in pristine condition. The only reason that Pass Labs stopped manufacturing the DAC-1 was the unavailability of the great Burr-Brown PCM-(K)63 chips. ... | |
| Review on Linear Tube Audio Aero DAC Hey phill55, It's been awhile since I reviewed the Audio Mirror Tubadour DAC, which is a wonderful musical sounding DAC. My hunch would be that the LTA Aero will be more dynamic and resolving with more pristine tonality, but not losing the sense ... | |
| Review on Linear Tube Audio Aero DAC Hey whoopycat, Great question! You might find it shocking that the Pass Labs DAC-1 performance is quite close to the present day reference level DACs. I hate using percentage statements, but I would say the DAC-1 gives you close to 85% of the sta... | |
| Review on Linear Tube Audio Aero DAC Thanks guys, For your positive and supportive comments regarding both my motivation and professional reviews. I'm always trying to share my excitement about great pieces that offer great performance for reasonable prices that are built by people ... | |
| Review on Linear Tube Audio Aero DAC Hey audphile1, I have nothing but respect for Bricasti gear, have reviewed two of their DACs and one of their amplifiers. Great build quality and first rate sound performance. Do I believe the LTA Aero DAC out preforms Bricasti's best DACs? No, ... |
