| Impact of Walker Audio Extreme SST Sgunther, your description of what the SST does to the overall sonics of a system is dead on and accurate. I have loaned out my jar to about seven different people, and they all come back with amazement on their faces. It seems expensive for such ... | |
| Given my AMP and DAC, which preamp? Pardales, if you look at my system I run Pass LabsX-350.5 with Threshold SA-1 monoblocks to bi-amp MG20r's. So, I'm a big fun of Nelson Pass's designs. I would suggest you audition either a Placette passive line stage at $1500.00 or the reference ... | |
| Is the EMM DAC6e or DCC2 /CDSD the best out there? Iujona, the short answer is no, there is no the "BEST" but many fine reference pieces in high end audio. If your interested a thread that I started entitled, Reference DACS:An overall perspective, will give information on the DACS you are curious ... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Sgr, before I finally replaced my ML360s, I had added the DCS Purcell which significantly raised the performance of the 360s in all the right ways {more air around players,bigger/deeper sound stage,more details,more clarity,deeper/better bass} and... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Branimir, I don't know if you read a review I posted about week ago on the Stealth Sextet digital cable, but it will give alot more details regarding what cables I compared it to and why its my new reference. It's hard to put into words why the Se... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Hi, Branimir, thanks for sharing your experience with your Weiss/Jason digital front end, sounds like its another world class reference and I would love to hear it one day. To answer your question, my Accustic Arts DAC1 MK3 is the normal version, ... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Sgr, I used to have a ML31.5,360s,and DCS purcell in my system for about four and a half years. I was extremely satisfied, especially when I added the Purcell and upsampled to 24/96, through the ML360s DAC. However, in my opinion, because digital ... | |
| Esoteric P-70 and D-70 Audioesq, thanks for your thanks, I don't know if I would use the term "JUST RIGHT", but based on auditioning many digital front ends I would offer the following as coming close to the sonic ideal you are seeking. The first would be the Ensemble H... | |
| Esoteric P-70 and D-70 Audioesq, I think information that would be very helpful to you is on a thread I started entitled, Reference DACS: An overall perspective. Someone just posted an audition of the Esoteric reference gear compared to both Reimyo and Meitner digital f... | |
| Review: Accustic Arts DAC I - MK3 DA converter Twopippis, thanks for getting back with the information I was interested in. What I meant regarding our experiences was two fold: 1) Not that you liked the Reimyo better then the Accustic Arts, but you thought there was that much of a difference b... | |
| Mark Levinson 30.5/31.5 vs Wadia 861se George, I have a personnal motto, if your own ear's has not heard it you don't have an opinion. So, if you never have seriously listened to the gear up for discussion how could you "side" with anybody? I would never put down a fellow audiophiles p... | |
| Mark Levinson 30.5/31.5 vs Wadia 861se Chris, if I would compare my digital front end in my system now to my older front end of ML/DCS the major and most important differences would be:1) The ML was very accurate/detailed but somewhat "dry" sounding. 2) The ML did not give as large and... | |
| Time to upgrade CD transport and/or DAC? Output555, I would believe you would get a great change by getting a new DAC. The Bel Canto II is my favorite below the $1000.00 mark, I find it more musical/organic sounding then the Benchmark DAC. If in your budget a great step up is either a us... | |
| Mark Levinson 30.5/31.5 vs Wadia 861se Hi Chris, the way you expressed your question I would suggest you take a look at a thread I started entitled, Reference DACS: An overall perspective. It will give you some of the information you are seeking. I had a ML360s/DCSpurcell/ML31.5 in my ... | |
| Best digital cable to audition? Unclejeff, I also admire the work of Mr. Robert Lee, the rest my system is cabled with Acoustic Zen, including his new reference the Absolute, the AZ E=ZEN2 is a wonderful sounding digital cable and very reasonable priced, but don't be a "true bel... |
