Putting together a reference level system. My Source is predominantly standard 16/44 played from a MacMini using iTunes and Amarra. Some of my music is purchased from iTunes and the rest is ripped from standard CD's. For my tastes in music, my high def catalogues are still limited; so Redbook 16/44 will be my primary source for quite some time.
I'm not spending DCS or MSB money. But $15-20k retail is not out of the question.
Upsampling vs non-upsampling? USB input vs SPDIF?
All opinions welcome.
And I know I need to hear them, but getting these ultra $$$ DAC's into your house for an audition ain't easy.
Looking for musical, emotional, engaging, accurate , with great dimension. Not looking for analytical and sterile.
I was one of the first adopters of the Plasmatron.
I would order his cable upgrade: (VH Audio)- which uses OCC UniCrystal copper, as well as my AirLok dielectric.
This product is so good I am having him build a 220V unit for Waversa Systems CEO in South Korea. I believe this unit will be very popular over there.
My unit is the 6 Amp version. I believe this is not necessary as most people would not plug in video or pre-amp. Video (OLED/LCD/Plasma) will contaminate the line.
The Plasmatron needs warm up of 1 hour before full effect...then you are immersed into the music.
I remember mentioning the plasmatron way back on this thread, been awhile, so you looked into it matt, kinda cool product, report your review on it, not sure how long it has to burn in? , cheers Matt.
