Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD

Hi Matt, I have heard and used Aeris only on Rowland electronics this far... A really delicious thing. Hope you have the M925 + Aeris experience in your own music-cave some day.

A preamplifier between Aeris and the amps will subtly flavor the whole. Is a "purist" configuration "better" than a "flavored" one? I would not say so per se... It is a matter of personal preference, with a particular DAC, a particular pre, a particular amp, particular speakers, music, cave, mood, and particular strain of misfolded Audiophrenia Gravis prion particles infecting you.

Calvin, you can double the musical fun with your high res recordings... Sandisk has a 512GB SD/XC card available. Currently sells for $448 on Amazon. G.

@guidocorona. I saw that. I had a problem with Amazon recently. I ordered it from a third party seller at $275. I didn't know it came from China. They sent the wrong thing. On purpose of course and it took 2 weeks to get my money back and 3 weeks waiting on item. I will let them drop a little more then go in. Lol. I just hate going through the computer audio progressions. I heard my dad on the new bowers and Wilkins 802 D3 today from the sd card. The speaker sounds pretty good. Best bowers I heard so far. There is a cd by Allen toussaint called "The Bright Mississippi" wonderful jazz album. It is one of the best Jazz recordings I have ever heard. It also might be one of the best recorded cd's I've heard in my life. When you hear it in 2xdsd it is absolutely amazing!

Guido or Matt, can you guys recommend good Rowland delaer. I would like explore Aeris DAC runing directly to Rowland 625 S2 amp. My speakers are Vienna Acoustics Liszt.
Thank you.
