| musician aquarius r2r dac any good? I have already known they come from the same designer. Where else can you buy this quality of r2r for this low price? @tjag | |
| musician aquarius r2r dac any good? @tjag Good suggestion, I will check out the Mano. I do not know a lot pf European product though. My goal is still conventional DDC through USB connection, so it will be either the GAIA or the PHOENIX. | |
| musician aquarius r2r dac any good? @soix The DDC is my project for next year, buddy. I am pretty sure the Phoenix DDC will improve the DAC further. Food for thought, there is “Mercury Streamer” that is about to come out, converting ethernet directly to i2s. That product has the po... | |
| Lumin X1 or dCS Bartok @kingdeezie That is quite inconvenient for me. Yes, I want max fidelity. But, my wife will some time use her tv to listen to music and there is no connection for that. | |
| Emotiva not so good Emotiva is for folks who don't have enough money to buy a good brand (me included). Once, I have enough money, I quickly move on to other Higher-end brand. Emotiva served me well during my college years though. I did not miss my XPA-2 and did no... | |
| musician aquarius r2r dac any good? @charles1dad Thanks man. The DAC is still being evaluated. It is definitely more relax than the Chord. But, the bass is not as fast as I used to though. | |
| musician aquarius r2r dac any good? maybe the burns-in will improve it. Who know! | |
| musician aquarius r2r dac any good? @soix unfortunately, that is not what I am finding. The Aquarius is very close to the Hugo2 in term of soundstage depth and width. To be honest with you, it is very hard to beat the soundstage of a Chord even with r2r DAC. The only DAC that can... | |
| musician aquarius r2r dac any good? @soix I am just hear it this afternoon after about 50 hours of burn-in My first impression is: The Aquarius is a little bit smoother than the Hugo2 at the top end. Both DACs have approximately the same amount of transparency and refinement t... | |
| musician aquarius r2r dac any good? My Musician Aquarius just arrived today. I am burning it in right now. Will report back with the result. | |
| musician aquarius r2r dac any good? @audphile1 I tried every filters on the Hugo2. The sound changed a little bit with each filter. Yet the soundstage stays the same, the transparency does changed a tiny bit, not increasing but decreasing. I also tried the Hugo2 running on battery ... | |
| musician aquarius r2r dac any good? @gladmo I am on the same boat as you buddy. My impression of the Aquarius all comes from internet review. What I am hoping for is landing some where between the Venus and the Terminator. That is why I picked up the Aquarius. I am also exploring th... | |
| musician aquarius r2r dac any good? @arafiq I am very nervous though. This is the first time I use r2r dac. I always use delta sigma DAC in my system, so I dont know what change I will introduce to my overall synergy. | |
| musician aquarius r2r dac any good? @gladmo The Pontus ii is very comparable to my current Hugo2, so for me it is more like a side way move rather than moving up the DAC ladder. In case you dont know, I am planning to use a DDC with my new Aquarius DAC, maximizing the i2s inputs. | |
| musician aquarius r2r dac any good? @tjag I have no issue with your problem 1 & 2. But #3 does worry me though. I do not know how the DAC will interact with my transport (window 10 machine). My question is: why do you pick the terminator over the Aquarius if the terminator will... |
