I would also add to the OCC single crystal list harmonic technology and acoustic Zen their prices are very reasonable.
*DAC
I am down to the last piece of the puzzle. I am very happy with the sound of my system at this point, so I’m not sure if the DAC needs to be improved on. What I am looking for is to hear those background subtleties in the music a little more pronounced. The strum of a guitar, the stroke of the piano keys, the clicks, ticks & tingles that accompany the music. I do here that now, I just wondered if there is a way to elaborate on those background sounds (details) a bit more.
Is it the DAC that will make this happen? If it is, they say my Gustard R26 is as good as a $5K DAC, how far over that $5K do you think I have to go?
Thank you for your help and suggestions and the best to you all over the holiday season and beyond!
PS: I listen mostly to Jazz

@audphile1 WOW, thanks for all that! and @celtic66 U2 @wsrrsw Audio Sensibly is probably who he means. I purchased my dedicated 12AWG Cryo-Treated Romex from. @gdnrbob Yes, I'm AES standard, so good to go! @jacobsdad2000 Thanks for the link! I think I need a second job...

Weiss DAC 204 $3,500, T+A 200 $7,000, or Denafrips Terminator II 12th $5,000.....or Denafrips Terminator Plus 12th $7,700. Personally if $5,000 is what I had, I'd go with the Terminator II which is a GREAT DAC....but if I had the extra I'd buy the T+A or Terminator Plus; both are end game DACs in my world. |
@vthokie83 SWEET! Have you heard them all? |
navyachts, I've had the Terminator II and Terminator Plus II (not the newer 12th versions) in my system on loan for 2 months earlier this year (I currently own a Denafrips Pontus II). The T+A 200 frequently in a friend's system I know well.....and envy. Same guy replaced the Weiss with the T+A, but he liked it and has kept it for his second system.....I just have yet to hear it myself though. |
