Romulus CD player--

Jwm, well that is a guess at best. It may or may not have sounded as good as what I have now or had. Speculation.

I wanted a one box simple solution. No need for a second power cord, digital cable and second box. A one box CD player was my goal.

I think the Romulus is special as I have had more high end players, dacs and transports than I care to recap here. As for the PS audio/Lampi combo, well I have paired the Lampi with high quality transports and preferred my computer and now the Romulus. Would the PS/Lampi combo be more special than the Romulus....who knows.

Grannyring,
I thoroughly understand your rationale. At the end of the day simplicity and superb music reproduction are the top priorities for me . I'm glad it all worked out for you.My lack of interest in computer audio is exactly for the reasons you've listed.Jwm's PS Audio transport and Lampizator is excellent but I know you wanted a single box solution.
Charles,

Grannyring, I understand exactly where you're coming from and couldn't agree more.

This is crazy!, I was just thinking about this player yesterday, even went to the site, came on to audiogon, a supprise indeed that the Romulas thread was alive and well, I just ordered a vincent cd-s7 player that uses the 12aux7 and 12au7 tubes that can run direct to amp, I owned this player before, this vincent bettered the sound of a $6,350.00 player I had, I am going to use the vincent for temporary use to get my rig going,and untill I can afford the Romulas player, The Romulas is tops on my list, I suspect that Aesthetix may come out with a better player over the next year or two?, I want a Romulas with the analog volume control that does 4 volts out for balanced cables to run direct to my amp, cheers

Hi, well it seems Jack has come out with a very Brand new model signature Romulas player!, go ahead, read about this player, True DSD digital, No rubber feet, New after market Isolation footers that substantialy lower the noise floor, etc.. Basically, A whole new player, Thou I just Bought a new cd player, The player is ultimatly going to be used on a second system that I will be Building around the Tara Labs model- The one interconnects and speaker cables, I believe this new Romulas signature will go on my main system, you guys excuse my ignorance here, question, does true DSD allow for super audio play back?, or does it only mean a much better digital signal that is not PCM?
