Reference DACS: An overall perspective
Branimir, I'm glad he got the new generation player, as I said its supposed to be a wonderful sounding player and we both know its wonderfully built. I have no experience with the Accustic Arts power cord you are using, I run Harmonix studio maste...

I thought that all the participants on this thread would find the following information both interesting/informative. On Audio Federation's website, hi Neli and Mike, they have posted on the BLOG section their impressions/evauluations of the new A...

Branimir, I hope very much your friend enjoys his Accustic Arts CDP. Not to throw a "monkey wrench" into his auditioning process, but did he get the first generation CDP or the updated model? The new model is supposed to be a great improvement ove... 
Review: Stealth Audio Cables Varidig Sextet Reference Interconnect
Kana813, to the best of my knowledge neither my DAC or transport are transformer coupled. I could be wrong, but I don't think so. Now, onto Unclejeff's question/comment regarding if the Stealth Sextet can really be that much better then the Acoust...

Branimir, I see that you left a nice comment on my review of the Stealth digital Sextet cable. Without raving about it like a madman, its one of the most significant improvements I have ever heard regarding bringing a digital front end towards the...

Thanks, Branimir for the helpful information. Regarding the sound of the Meitner teamed with a CEC transport, only on redbook of course, I have a friend who uses a TL-0 with his Meitner DAC because he believes it offers a more "musical" presentati... 
Reference DACS: An overall perspective
Branimir, do you have any information regarding the sonics of the new CEC TL-0x or the TL-2 compared to the first generation TL-0 and TL-1? Also, do you believe the build quality is on the same level compared to the older pieces? I thought I read ... 
Review: Stealth Audio Cables Varidig Sextet Reference Interconnect
Kuzibri, I was having a wonderful conversation with my friend Nelly from Audio federation regarding my auditioning of the Stealth Sextet, when she mentioned that another good friend that lived in Europe, had just e-mailed her a note about the sext...

Exlibris, I did not compare in my system the Accustic Arts Drive 1 with my Ensemble Dirondo transport. However, the individual I purchased my Accustic Arts DAC-1 MK3 from had both transports to audition the AA DAC-1 MK3 with and found no sonic adv... 
New dac or cd player
Chris, I believe you will get a greater bang for your sonic buck by using your Sony as a transport and getting a DAC. In your budget range see if you could get either a used/demo Benchmark or Bel Canto 2. They are both outstanding, I prefer the Be... 
Audio Note DAC 4.1 vs. EMM Labs on Redbook
Exlibris, I auditioned an Audio Note DAC 4 not 4.1 along with the Meitner on red book and found the Audio Note very musical/organic but it did not have the details, top/bottom extension, and resolution/clarity of the Meitner, which was still very ...

First, thanks to all you GON members for participating on this thread/topic in such an interesting, friendly, and informative way. I wish more threads would have the good "cheer" and "egolessness" of this on-going discussion and information sharin... 
help with cd player choice.
Dpm2340, another player you might want to consider, is the Ensemble CDP. It's a great sounding and built to what you would expect from a Swiss made product. It retails for $9000.00, but either demos or used pieces are selling for around $3500.00 t... 
Paging Mr. Albert Porter
Albert, I just got through reading, in my opinion, a very well written and comprehensive review of your Dali Megaliners by Paul Messenger in the current issue of hi>fi+. What I think you will find the most interesting and salient aspect of the ... 
Review: Accustic Arts DAC I - MK3 DA converter
Twopippis, its true that I did not have both the Reimyo and Accustic Arts DACS at the same time to audition in my system, however when I heard the Reimyo DAC, it did not empress me enough, compared to my Ensemble HI-DAC, to make the move to a new ...
