@jafant i tried the soulution 746 pulium integrated combo. Both are great pieces. But as a combo very analogue sounding a bit on the cozy side. I just swapped the soulution out and I’m trying an esoteric N-01XD dac so far it’s a better match. Little more lively but still smooth.
Is it important to long demo or own HIGH END gear to have a fair accurate view about it?
I have heard a lot of opinions about high end gear on the forums but a lot of it comes from folks that don’t own it. They bash it because of the price. Which I understand on one end but many don’t own, haven’t long demoed or even heard a lot of higher end gear thoughts? Please no personal bashing just your opinion?

@mahgister happy new year. Thank you for your conversation and viewpoints. Enjoy the music. |
@jafant I traded that in so that I can could by the Infigo Method 4 Dac. I work with Infigo Audio. I bought the Method 4 because Hans used to work with the inventor of the Ess Sabre Dac chip and when he developed this Dac. I heard it and was amazed. It’s the best dac I’ve heard ever. It’s expensive but he really built it well. He elimated distortion by building mini heat sinks between the individual dac chip. He even has a program the measures the distortion in the second and third harmonics and can adjust the chip accordingly. It does all of this while sounding musical and giving a huge soundstage. I heard this dac and had to have it so I sold the soulution. I’m only demoing stuff now because a dealer has my dac and amp because he is considering taking in our line after hearing great things about it. I’m listening to the esoteric and so far it’s pretty good. I like my dac better but this esoteric has nice detail and musicality. Gonna let it run for another week. |
