My Audiophonics hpa-s400et Purifi amplifier isn't boring, has excellent 3D imaging with no paper cutouts. Sounds neutral, detailed, and smooth/natural sounding.
I will add that I use BACCH-4MAC-Pro. So I might be cheating a tad!
@jcarcopo I’d love to hear your thoughts on the BAACH system. |
@soix Professor Edgar Chourier should get the equivalent of a Nobel Peace Prize for his contributions to furthering this hobby. In 47 years of being an Audiophile it’s the Nothing will prepare you for it. Using two speakers and not 11.2 or whatever Dolby Atmos is up to is impractical, and wrong-headed. I slayed mine! I can not recommend highly enough the Bacch4Mac software as an infinitely more practical way to achieve everything you’ve been missing. No change in your system will give you the gestalt or nearly enough improvement in 3D realism and purity. (His 10 patents are warranted because he’s the only one who figured out how to preserve and extract the spatial info without affecting Tonality or Timbre. This is also why it’s a game changer. |
@jcarcopo Thanks! That’s what I would’ve thought but great to hear from someone who actually uses it. |
