| ARCAM rDAC It should be right up your alley mate.Mine is just about sold now in any event.Cheers and happy hi fi. | |
| ARCAM rDAC Here is (most of) a post I made over at head fi. Talk about shouting from the rooftops. Sigh.....Righto - I have hit the 230hr mark. i think it is where it is going to get to.This is what I can report: good clean competent mids. Bass is clean fast... | |
| ARCAM rDAC The Apollo is a nice player. You would like the Arcam alot. It has similar traits. I am sure the Rega will perform very well indeed.Happy hi fi and best wishes.PS I encourage all people interested to buy an rDac and make up there own minds in thei... | |
| ARCAM rDAC The rDac is beginning to settle nicely and produce some good sound with strings. I am listening to Sinfonia Concertante in B Minor KV 364, Violin Concertos, The 5 - Kremer, Harmoncourt as I type and the ease and fluidity I spoke of earlier is pres... | |
| ARCAM rDAC Oh I nearly always type disclaimers...I hope it makes people realise it is just my (rather faulty) middle aged ears at work and not to take it all too seriously.And in fairness it is opening up quite alot the last 25 hrs or so. I wouldn't say it i... | |

| ARCAM rDAC Ok time for an update - the ugly phase appears to be passing somewhat. Massed strings - while still suffering confusion - at least do not offend as they did. I would still describe the rDac as fairly... ahem...forward. Another 30 hrs to go before ... | |

| ARCAM rDAC I have had my rDac for 2 weeks now and have 50 hrs on it.I use it soley USB from various computer set up's (Mac/W7/Linux) all running 4Gb Ram and SSD's and lossless files of varying descriptions.I like this dac. It has an ease via usb that I have ... | |
| Valab TDA1543 DAC VS MHDT Havana DAC I have both.The Havana is night and day better than the Valabs. It is very similar to the AN Sign 2.1 that I heard not long ago.Huge detail and great resolution and extenion. USB into the Havana is much, much better as well.I use a WE 396a tube in... | |
| Does the Transport make a significant difference? Hi thereThe SB3 in stock form is a fairly average transport and improves a great deal with a simple pulse transformer mod to clean up the RF. I prefer my modded SB3 as a transport to my Transporter (although AES out is very close).Equally importan... |
