Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD

No party crashing interpreted Mike. But if you bring your Select II you can crash my party anytime!! ;)

Al has been to my house several times. I look forward to him bringing the newest latest greatest SGM to compare to the Baetis and MP. Should be super fun!!! Will report when that happens. 

I will figure out a way eventually to hear a Select II in my room. I won’t buy without hearing it in my system. 

Remember that my opinions (and Mike’s, and CTSooner’s and Wison’s, etc) are just that, opinions. I am not the Ear of Olympus upon which all decisions shall be based. I’m just a shmo with a good ear and some disposable income to spend on this stuff. :)

Mike I was not trying to start a fight with you, there is no denying that an MSB Select, a DCS stack and a few others are state of the art in digital, we have the same opinion as Matt does that the Davinci is a very special dac, and that it does certain things that are just spooky, and the dac is very musical, and well balanced yet it still has excellent resolution. 

The Davinci deserves to be ranked amoung the very best digital front ends, because it is. The only issue is the rarity of the dac. LH Labs is making most of their money these days as being the sole supplier for Tesla automobiles on board entertainment systems.  Larry is working on a number of interesting new products as well. 

We just got in the Aqua Forumla and we know you really thought highly of that dac, how many hours did yours take before it came alive?  Did you use HQ player with the Formula. 

Are you using the Artenisia racks now did you compare them to the Stillpoints?

Steve,

Thanks for the info and looking forward on hearing in my system.

I got my Synchro Mesh sent out to me within a day or two.  I also really liked it, but need to sell it as I am no longer in need with my system changes.  I guess sometimes things happen.  Sorry Ozzy.
