DACs and bass response?
I am sure you’re going to tell us if there is component out there that is capable of all of the above without the “tubey” distorted sound. There are a few. My own customized SET monoblocks fall into this category. Others are: Nagra VPA Any Wavac Prima Luna Arte Forma Due Volte - I have the customized version of this one I prefer SET amps, but the Prima Luna sounds really good at shows, and they use quality parts in them. I always enjoy their room. Steve N. Empirical Audio |
Here is basically my setup, but this one was used at a show, so its not my amps or speakers. I have my own custom versions of both. http://www.arteformaaudio.com.tw/due-volte.asp The Vapor picture at the bottom. Steve N. Empirical Audio |
It’s hard to believe that a DAC designer wouldn’t use effective caps in their design. Before changing out caps, why not try a signal re-clocker and a high end fuse and maybe, up sampling? I’m not trying to over simplify this but most audio enthusiasts lack the ability to evaluate equipment via scientific measures. Some may have higher standards but I’ve always trusted my ears. |
