| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Branimir, even if I was interested in changing my digital front end right now, I would have to wait and put some cash back in my "audio account" after my recent purchases of the Pass Labs X-100's and a Running Springs Audio Jaco line conditioner.T... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Branimir, Guidocorona, Kops, I got a chance yesterday to listen to the Esoteric X-01 Limited, in a very good system that was totally different that I'm accustomed to listening to, and thought it was a terrific sounding CDP.Since, you guys are the ... | |
| Difference in Pass Labs X and x.5 Mlrf18, I have had Pass Labs Alephs, X-series, X.5 series, and now XA amps in my home rig. I have written reviews of both the 350.5 and XA-100's here on the GON that should provide the detailed information that you are seeking regarding these amps... | |

| Esoteric UX-3 vs. XO-3 Rhythmace4218, I highly rcommend you go to the thread that I started entitled, Reference DACS: An overall perspective, that contains a vast amount of information regarding the sonic differences between the different Esoteric digital CDPS and DACS/... | |
| Levinson upsampled? Ecamel, I used to have as my digital front end a ML-31.5 transport and ML-360S dac. It was quite good, but was vastly improved sonicly in all areas by adding the DCS Purcell, without the firewire, to up sample to 24/96. I kept this digital front e... | |

| Original dCS Delius vs the new favourites? Murrayp, the world of reference level, along with digital gear in general, DACS has come along way in the last ten years.I used to use a Purcell in my system and it made a great inprovement with no down side at all. Some people still disagree rega... | |
| Review: Pass Labs XA-100 monoblocks Amplifier Just wanted to share that I now have close to 200 hours running time on the XA-100's and the amps' sonic virtues are becoming more apparent as they break-in.Even more of a commanding presence with rock solid images and great air around individual ... | |
| The Naim 'sound' I don't think of myself as a "Naim Hater", but I did have the following experience with the Naim reference two box CDP that retails for $12000.00.I was going through an extensive auditioning process of CDP's and DAC's, over seven different pieces,... | |
| Help with $6k - $7k amplifier setup Cvt, I would recommend the combo of a Pass LabsX-350.5, which can be bought at a great price as a used/demo piece here on the GON, and Placette passive pre-amp.I have heard this combination and its sounds wonderful, it would fit your budget, and e... | |
| Review: Pass Labs X350.5 Amplifier Jwin, with out hopefully causing emotional distress or interfering with your pleasure regarding the 350.5, which is a great sounding amp indeed, I have just replaced mine with a pair of Pass Labs XA-100 monoblocks. I know you love the sonic virtue... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Chris, I agree with your viewpoint to a certain degree, but the point of this thread is reference DACS, regardless of what sampling technologies they use, offer different "flavors" or sonic perspectives that amount to real differences that are sig... | |
| Review: Pass Labs XA-100 monoblocks Amplifier Well Cdma, if you have the XA-100's already, I'm sure your system offers beautiful music to listen to on a daily basis!I have always driven my MG-20's bi-amped and never purchased the passive crossover but always used a Bryston active crossover. T... | |
| Pass Labs X-600 vs. X350.5 vs. SoundLabs? Without trying to be disrespectful or argumentative with or towards Essentialaudio, I have heard he's a good guy and a runs a fine salon, I have this over and over again that if someone thinks the JC-1's are lacking something that the amps are not... |
