| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Exlibris, I will be very interested in what your opinion will be regarding the Accustic Arts D1 transport/Accustic Art DAC1mk3 sonics in general and how it compares to your Meitner gear. Would you also be willing to share what the rest of your sys... | |
| new updates in transports or are they obsolete ? There was never a large amount of companies manufacturing reference level transports to begin with, however you still have major players in digital gear producing terrific transports, such as: 1)CEC 2)Ensemble 3)Accustic Arts 4)Zanden 5)Meitner 6)... | |
| Preamp with most dynamic contrast? Bruno, I would highly recommend you audition a Placette dual mono active linestage. It is one of the great bargains in high end audio for two reasons: 1) It offers beautiful sonics, that sound like what you are looking for, and competes with refer... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Branimir, my compliments to you in two ways: 1) That you are affluent enough to own two world class systems. 2) That you are a "golden eared" audiophile with very good taste. If the system you described is the second system in your home, would you... | |
| Pass Labs X-1000 vs X-600 Mitch4t, in my opinion and other Pass fans familiar with the sonics of X generation Pass amps, the 250 was the best sounding of the single chassis models and the 600 was the the best sounding of the mono-blocks, and were the best sounding of all t... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Branimir, thanks for sharing your final opinion on the Accustic Arts CDP, and I'm glad that your friend is very happy with his new digital player. I do not remember if you have had the chance to listen to The Accustic Arts DACIMK3, but as you stat... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective I have read/heard many postive things regarding the Audiomat reference DAC and the Dodson DA-218 DAC, but have never heard them myself. So, my question is, do any of you Gon members own either of these DACS or have had the opportunity to listen to... | |
| First Impressions of a First Watt - the Aleph J Gliderguider, I compliment you both on your writing style and very precise information regarding this post. I believe that Mr. Nelson Pass is one of our hobbies greatest designers when it comes to amp designs going back to his Threshold days in th... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Exlibris, you requested some of Mr. Martin DeWulf's comments regarding the Weiss Medea DAC, so here they are: 1)The Medea did not have the drive and presence that I found in the Benchmark DAC 1. 2) The Medea can get loud, but never got raucous and... | |
| Redbook Comparison Esoteric and Reimyo Steve, I would never argue with your personnal opinion/experience regarding what your ear's told you. However, to say that the Esoteric XO-1/UX-1 is "inferior" on Redbook to the Reimyo is begging/negating the rest of your post. Regardless, of what... | |
| I need ICs for my system. Anyone have this set up? Tigmag1, my system has a Pass LabsX-350.5 and Threshold SA-1 monoblocks, so as far as amps we have something in common in our systems. I have auditioned many wires in my system and have finally settled on Acoustic Zen's Absolute, Silver referenceI... | |
| Edge Sig 1 Preamp - Anyone have it or heard it ??? Naperaudio, I would strongly suggest you give a call to Audio Federation and talk to Neli regarding the Edge pre-amp. Audio federation is an Edge dealer, they have their demo on sell right now, they arrange home auditions, and finally you will nev... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Hi, to both Branimir and Exlibris, I agree with your conclusion regarding using the CDSD transport to really see if you will get the sound you are seeking out of your Meitner DAC. My friend who uses the CEC TL-0, prefers this on redbook, had to se... | |
| Redbook Comparison Esoteric and Reimyo Kusina, as you stated, even in one box redbook players, there are different "flavors/tastes" which offer somewhat different sonic prespectives in the system they are used in. So, if you would share some of your personnal tastes, along with what ge... | |
| Which One box cd player Luna, I can't comment on the Meridian player since I have never heard one, however I have given a good listen to the Audio Research CD3II and thought it was quite good. In the same price bracket is the new Accustic Arts CDP that upsamples to 24/19... |
