Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD

Hi Denon1, would love to help you locate a knowledgeable Rowland dealer... I tried to send you a PM, but for some odd reason, was not able to open the PM link at all. Why don't you try to send me a PM instead...

Meantime, here is the link to the Rowland distribution network world wide:

@denon1 how do the listz sound I almost bought them.

Calvin, You are getting your wish! Lots of replies.

MusikMike (JazzPesh) of StereoMojo fame tipped me off to Bright Missippi years ago and I have all the Alain TOussaint CDs. LoL

I have also been pushing the idea of SD card as the perfect transport for years and this is technical info from an idustry insider who has been waiting for 1TB cards to be reasonably priced for years. That way he can carry his entire library in his top pocket!

SD cards are not as noisy as USB sticks and dont constatnatly rewrite data for optimization like HDDs and SSDs. Finally, they are used for high speed digital, so audio reporduction is trivial.

My problem with the Invicta Dac is that it is totally Sabre based and I dont think Sabre will ever be SoTA...very, very good, but not SoTA. My opinion only, and no offense.

Jeff Rowland lent the Vapor/Lampi/Resolution/Verastarr guys an amp at RMAF and spent a LOT of time in that room. Must have liked what he heard with that combo...

And reportedly that system at RMAF sounded far better with the Rowland amp than it did with the Lampizator tube amp that they originally used.
