I am the most lucky guy

Recently I upgraded Dac from EmmLab Dac2 to Chord Dave and Mscaler.

Chord Dave and Mscaler give very transparent and deep and wide 3D holographic soundstage.

But it could sound thin.

After trying several digital cables, I could tune the sound with enough fullness and nuanced details.

Recently I play musicals and operas very often enjoying excellent 3D soundstage.

I live in Pacific Northwest.

With windows open, I could live without air conditioning system here even during middle of summer.

But I do not want to play speaker loud with windows open not to disturb my neighbors.

Thus I had also got Stax 009S headphone and KGSSHV Carbon headphone amplifier.

It sound marvelous using Dave and Mscaler as source.

I am listening to " Are you lonesome tonight" by Elvis.

His voice tone is just spot on.

Thus without being bothered by heat or noise from air conditioning system, I can enjoy the music.

So I am the most lucky audiophile.


I am going to have a break from changing major audio components for next 2 years and just enjoy music.

Thomas, you are indeed a lucky guy. It's too bad I couldn't make it to your home a couple of months back. I've also made some positive changes recently, but nothing on the scale of what you've done. 

I wonder what my system would look like had I your resources, though I would hope it wouldn't sound too much different than it does currently. I guess I'm lucky, too, as I have something that satisfies for the long haul. Not all of us can make that statement, that's what drives the high-end equipment industry.

I'm happy for you, enjoy. Regards,
Dan

Thanks a lot Dan for your kind word.

It is really nice to live in Pacific Northwest during summer time.

My system sounds much better than 3 months ago.

But I may not need to have another open house.

I hope that you also enjoy music without paying too much attention to the sound.

best wishes

Thomas
