| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD I know how its made and I have many pals who heard one and heard several other Dacs including other Lampis. I also recently heard an anniversary Shandling and a tubed Oppo running through a Big 6. Big7 and Big6 are completely different animals.If ... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD NSA= national sales academy??? haha.Talk to Berto and Gopher and they will let you know what the deal is. No need for high tech surveillance, they will tell you...Seven is the new 6. LoLThe Seven says "bring it on". | |
| Is computer audio a bust? Sorry, but DSD128 trounces any RBCD equivalent out there. And now the trend is to upsample even RBCD to DSD256 and higher and playback on a capable Dac. Q Player is the upsampler/converter of choice at the moment.Yes, Transport is important, but D... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Many of those Big5 and Big6 for sale are just owners trading UP. There is now a backlog and commensurate waiting time for Big7s.People say the DHT 45 output tubes lend unprecedented ease to the music. Like a Lamborghini cruising around in South Mi... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD JoeCasey,"losing a shootout??" Hahahah. Too funny. That is the thinking of gear of the month and it has happened to Aesthetix as well.Big7 is NOT the same Dac as Big6. Big7 is the ONLY true DHT Dac on the market. To write it off without a listen i... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Yes, I saw the Bebop post about selling and now he is having 2nd thoughts...He thought the Vol control could replace his CF pre and since its not better, he was thinking of all CF gear...but CF does not do DSD and B7 DSD is da bomb.... | |
| Is computer audio a bust? Mapman, for me the higher rates like DSD128 and DXD are unbeatable.Sure well recorded/mastered is key, but all that being equal, the high rate files trounce RBCD. Great RBCD is divine, but there is still better, is my point. | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD I suspect that all the quality tube Dacs/CDPs sound excellent.I myself am desperate to hear the DHT based Lampi Big7. From what I am getting as feedback, this is the new DAC standard. The lucky 20 people who own one need to stop keeping this secre... | |
| Is computer audio a bust? Am I missing something here? Can CDPs play DXD or DSD128? If not, then what is the discussion about? If I run natively recorded hirez/DSD thru the right CA gear, then CDPs cant touch that.For RBCD, we can have a debate, but CDPs are inherently too... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD JFox,Paul Hynes (very, very nice bloke) makes many custom LPSU with multiple rails. indeed, he does have order cancellations from time to time and offer such units for sale with immediate delivery. I just got my SR3 a few months back and have not ... | |
| Is computer audio a bust? DSD and DXD alone make Comp Audio worthwhile. Disk are nice when you want the flexibility of just playing a specific album, but hirez/DSD audio files rule.DSD128 well mastered, played back natively, is unbeatable for me. | |
| New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house Yeah in NYC, there are several Lampi owners, plus the distributors (Gopher and Bertto from AudioCircle)live in Long Island. I think Berto works in manhatten.Contact them via the Lampi circle at that website or lampizatorNA dot com | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD ODSE is the Emprical Audio OverDrive DAC SE version, by Steve Nugent....make of the OffRanmp converter (fo example). | |
| Chord Hugo ? Hi DTC,I think you are generally correct, unfortunately.I think the Qute version will be the sweetspot given the ability to hand select the LPSU used with it. The bespoke digital section (timing champ) combined with say a Hynes or a Teddy P L-PSU ... | |
| Chord Hugo ? DTC, your comments are generally spot on and I agree with most of them. It is possible that Chord will make QBD and Qute versions of the Hugo (reference digital section with Spartan 6) and prices will likely be a bit over the current Generation pr... |
