Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD
The Mini is a lot cheaper!!! Dragon...I do use a SS Integrated amp. It's a NAD 375BEE modded with negative output impedence by www.rowen.ch. This is to compensate for speaker line losses and to ensure stability at peak power demand times. My speakers are Heil AMT. Currently I have the Kitara running with the Syrinx. All Heils run perfectly in Phase, so they can run together. As the amp can handle bursts of up to 750wpc into 1 ohm, its a piece of cake to run these speakers in parallel. Matt suggeted that these speakers may have a special synergy with Lampi Dacs and he may be right, though I think its more with the amp, to be honest. The amp also grips the woofers well and keeps themas tight as possible. Speakers can be seen at www.precide.ch |
Looks like we are morphing into phase two, while always keeping phase one alive. Servers! That little bug a boo. Why have servers gone untreated if you would? So many DAC makers are NOT in the server business. I am just waiting on the companies to make servers that connect to their DACS AND are synched to each other as that's where digital fails. This is why we all are looking at other devices like SOTM, that is used in many DACS and or servers not named SOTM. Why can't the clocks be synched? Is there no universal deal for them all? Timing is digital's major shortcoming. Be it jitter or whatever, it's the timing that is what makes analog better to this day. I will watch this thread keep evolving as Matt goes through his audiophile struggles to get the best sound he can afford in his room. |
Excellent point about servers CTSooner.... How about your or Matt start a much needed absolute top tier Music Servers thread. I for one do not know enough about servers.... But eventually would like to migrate from my beloved Esoteric X-01 used as a transport for all my CDs to a server with integrated solid-state storage. Rather than broadening this fine watering hole to include servers sub-topics, it would be nice to have a sister thread concentrating on SOTA servers. Saluti, Guido

I'm hesitant to start a second thread since this one has SO much recognition. I think I'd prefer to just chat about music servers here as we meander about. Ive thought about starting a Facebook page. But that would split attention and could get complicated. I'm leaning towards just letting this thread morph and flow as we go. |
