When is digital going to get the soul of music?

You need clean power for digital to sound right. If you implement digital properly it will sound like vinyl - I know exactly what you mean by the soul of music, it's about the right timing. With digital you can go beyond vinyl to get a spectral sound. Spectral is soulful plus absence of noise, the full experience of the spaces between musical notes.

Check out some of my other posts on clean power and you can read more about how to get the best sound from digital. With digital the implementation is more important than the cost of any one component.

Robpriore-bravo! We can only keep telling the unknowing mass of music loving listeners. It is no longer a secret. Absolute isolation will give anyone at least an "enormous" improvement in their digital listening. Why else is isolation and scrupulously clean power emphasized by the best manufactures? I wish some observers of this post would check it out and post their findings. Just try out an Equitech 2Q and let us know.

It has arrived! My DHT DAC will have more soul than most high priced analog set-ups. No comparison.

Happy Listening.

Outboard DAC's have always presented there own unique problems...after all, what you hook them up to and how can be severely detrimental to the sound.

BigKidz,

BigKidz,

I noticed you’re on a lot of threads marketing your DHT Dac and you claim yours will blow the rest out of the water. What are you actually selling?

I am familiar with all MSB Products, I was a dealer for them. I am very familiar with Lampizator Golden Gate and Big 7, they are all very good Dacs. I find the Lampi not real sounding, its like the tube bloom is overemphasized. It is Musical until you realize the amount of digital data being lost during playback. I think they are good dacs and it will appeal to some crowds. Personally I prefer a Tubeless Dac and then mate it with a Tube Pre-amp and Power Amp. This gives the best of both worlds.

Lampizator will never reach the MSB level for transparency. It seems to mask the Digital hardness by using many Tubes to my opinion.

I have had all the MSB Dacs in my shop ( Was a dealer for MSB) and surprisingly the best MSB dac for long term listening was the Analog DAC, with the Analog Power supply. It was the cheapest and the best sounding out of the bunch. The Diamond were going into the realms of fatigue and the highs just seemed over tipped or too forward.
