bo1972 Patricia Barber, Diana Krall recordings-YUK! I heard that Lumin makes very fine DAC streamers but if it were based on those recordings, I couldn't trust it. Try some 50's-60's jazz or classical (or even pop that was well recorded and mastered). Then I have a basis for comparison. When I bring great music to stereo shows, people stop and listen. Great sounding systems mesmerize listeners. |
Shouldn‘t the goal for any set-up be neutrality and transparency?In that case my vote goes to the Zodiac Platinum. I think that NOS Euphonics are ultimately a dead end and the Zodiac‘s upsampling actually allows for shifting filters away from the audible spectrum. The result is a very transparent and uncoloured presentation. BTW the best way to assess a DAC is solo piano because of its reach harmonic spectrum, overtone decay and Impulse. |
@antigrunge2 Some believe tuning a system akin to tuning a car's engine or suspension. For instance, to use a car analogy, which camp would you fall in? "I like my car to tell me exactly what the surface of the road is like. I want to feel every bump, crack, crevace and pothole but man, when we get to that smooth stretch of road, there is nothing better". |
