| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Phasure Dac Nos1A uses BB1704 (8 in total) and the computer up samples all to 784hz and does all the filtering in the digital domain.Apparently it beats all the other R2Rs above according to their owners and one of them SOLD his PM2 Dac as the Pha... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD George,Mani in the UK sold his PM2 a few months back. Great as a PCM ADC but not so good as a Dac he said. The phasure NOs1A totally thrashed it.I have heard a few BB1704 Dacs in my time and still dont understand the fuss...It must be me, I guess. | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD The bass was banging hard…Cant recall if they had stands… probably did and they had other speakers on rotation that did not have the bass issue.Other than that, the ISIS sounded great. | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Again, I heard the ISIS in Zurich in a medium sized room. When Andreas saw me in the Warsaw show, he asked me what I thought and didnt seem surprised at my report.There may be tweaks that could work, bit this was a pretty stylish room with Rowland... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Pharoah or the Ra maybe, but based on his room, Isis is OUT!I cant recall if I heard the Ra (probably), but certainly the Isis and the Pharoah. Very good designers...Andreas is the one I have met several times. | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Matt, Mattt, Matt.The Trenner&Freidl Isis is way too much speaker for your room. Its great, but in your small room, the bass will have nowhere to go. It is not a small speaker.I already told you that the bottom ported Heil Kithara is the way t... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Matt, I never heard a 6 and it didnt have the same Amanero implementation ,as B6's didnt have DSD unless Lukasz did a special. My Amanero experience is limited to B7 and DSD-only L4.Right now I feed my B7 with a MM and Regen with Corning Cable and... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Matt, Lampi is the only Chipless DSD I know of. PS Audio is FPGA based like Chord, though he uses Transformers at the end. There are no FPGA is Lampi DSD...and no up conversion to quasi PCM. No additives, no preservatives. Lampi PCM is Dac chip ba... | |

| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Matt, dunno where you heard that from, but the Amanero USB is superb.IMHO Chipless DSD is ONLY via USB. Go read the raves over at Audioshark, and one guy there (Joe) didnt even try DSD on his Bal B7 until last weekend. AGear here had the B7 before... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD EA Micro Two:They are hoping to keep them in the $8,000 range/pair. They are going to be approximately 42 inches tall. This thing is long delkayed though... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Matt, I expect the Micro Two will be a killer:http://www.evolutionacoustics.com/loudspeakers/microtwo/I will ask around for pricing... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Chipless PCM is not possible. PCM is really digital, while DSD is quasi analog.The bigger Trenners like the ISIS will overload Matt's room.I am thinking that the Boenicke W8s, Rethm speakers, Albedo HL 2.2/Aptica, Kaiser Vivace or even the Klanwer... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD George, I see you R2R and it raise it with a chipless bitstream filter.In my mind, chipless DSD brings us to the realm of digital turntable. |
