| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Chris, I used to own an Accuphase DC-91 years ago and remember it's sonics with great pleasure. In its day it gave a much more "musical" and Less "etched/bright" presentation then many other digital gear in those days.However, to compare it to the... | |
| Review: Accustic Arts DAC1-MK4 DA converter Mdhoover, I wish I could be more helpful, but I have never had the pleasure of auditioning any of the Dodson DACS at all. I have heard very good things about them, but none of my audiophile friends have had one in their system and no retailers in ... | |
| Review: Accustic Arts DAC1-MK4 DA converter Just wanted to share that now that the MK4 has over 150 hours of break-in, that it has blossomed even more with greater "liquidity" and with a finer and "sweeter" top end, but all the fine details and timbres are still terrificly present.I also ha... | |
| Speaker Cables & Interconnects for Threshold Gear Tmoon, I still use my SA-1 monoblocks to bi-amp my speakers in my main system. I also have a dear friend who uses Threshold gear and we both use Acoustic Zen wires through out our total systems.I have posted in the past a review of the AZ Absolute... | |
| new kharma amplifiers matrix 150 Saxman2,you might want to a look at my thread entitled: A very interesting amp audition, which discusses the Kharma amps you are looking for information about. What I heard when I auditioned them is exactly what the reviewer on Positive Feedback a... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Branimir, the new MK4 offers both single-ended and balanced connections, so it will match up with your system quite easily. Well, as far as a name change, what can I say, the MK4 is not an upgrade of the MK3 as you said, but a totally different de... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective These questions are for Branimir. Now that I have the Accustic Arts DAC-1 MK4, and enjoying immensely, I was wondering if the MK4 is now avaliable to audition were you live in Europe?Accustic Arts has not yet come out with their new reference tran... | |
| Review: Accustic Arts DAC1-MK4 DA converter Rx8man, thanks for your kind words regarding my review. To answer your question, the MK4 is a totally new design, so a MK3 cannot be upgraded to a MK4. The MK3 is so good in it's own right, it's very interesting that Accustic Arts was motivated to... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Chris, my review, that's now up, answers the questions you have asked regarding the sonics of the MK4.The more I listen to it, it seems to be a great synthesis between what we have been calling type 1 and type 2 "flavors" on this thread.The "slam"... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Well, to all my friends on this post, I have just spent the last 8 hours listening to the new Accustic Arts DAC-1 MK4 in my home rig. In one word, it sounds, glorious! I have posted a review on the MK4 which will provide some of the details of why... | |
| A very interesting amp audtion When I posted my short take on Kharma's new 150 monoblocks, which I thought were outstanding and very competitive with a pair of Lamm monoblocks that cost about $15000.00 more, there had not been any reviews written or online regarding this pair o... | |
| Which Threshold s are best? I believe everyone on this thread would be in total agreement that Mr. Nelson Pass has to be one of the greatest designers in the history of modern high end audio.I now power my bi-amped system with a pair of Pass Labs XA-100 monoblocks and a pair... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective To address both Sgr's and Chris's questions. First, the retail price of the Accustic Arts DAC 1 MK4 is $7000.00, and I believe for XLR (balanced connections) add another $500.00. If you want information regarding your nearest dealer contact Brain ... | |
| levinson 32 heat Fmj, I had a ML-32 for over eight years in my system and it was always left on, not in standby mode, and I have no memory of it ever running hot in any way, including the isolated power chassis.So, I would have it checked over for a possible malfu... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Hi, to all my good friends on this thread. About a month ago Branimir asked me if I had heard about a "rumor" regarding Accustic Arts coming out with a new DAC that would replace their present reference the MK3. Well, the so-called "rumor" was tru... |
