| Recommend a dac that contributes to system for tight bass It very difficult to compare, given that I wasn't able to really AB them together. I would say that the Electrocompaniet was a bit warmer. I like warmth, but am enjoying what I perceive to be a more neutral, and revealing sound from the Pontus.The... | |
| Recommend a dac that contributes to system for tight bass I am using a Pontus II.I have read almost universal praise for the Ares and Pontus. As for Terminator flipping, I suspect is that those are mostly audiophiles who have a lot of money, and enjoy trying different components (or are never satisfied).... | |
| Recommend a dac that contributes to system for tight bass I’m using a Denafrips Pontus; it’s my first stand-alone DAC.

Then someone "on a budget" pays good money only to learn sorry, forget about all the awesome integrated amps, these need a couple hu... | |
| DAC finalist please help @rossman Musician Pegasus r2r DAC is more than comparable in sound and build quality to Denifrips Pontus II. Listened and compared them both and saved over $1K by going with the Pegasus. Internals are nearly identical. They are not even close to b... | |
| Chick Corea Very sad. Great artist, and Return to Forever (w/ Stanley Clarke, Lenny White and others) was an outstanding band. | |
| Are your current amps and other gear the best you've ever had? I am happy with my Hegel, but once owned a Jeff Rowland Concentra, and have very fond memories. | |
