Shore,
Yes Destin is paradise for us. Folks pay big $$$ to vacation here.
I hear a more realistic sound and because of lack of CDN, (color/distortion/noise) each instrument had a massive space in the sound stage so I get to hear each note/pattern with no clutter than any other machine I've had.
If a track has a lot of instruments and complicated such as Charles Mingus type pieces the. It is all layed out so you are not robed of each performer. No music information is lost so it's like a wild ride where songs you know so well take on a whole new meaning.
Unless there is a well known digital CHEAP $$$ breakthrough down the road that kills all that we have today then Phasure is my end of story Dac.
How long does the "Phasure" computer last? 3 to 6 years? Yes maybe I will have it repaired or retire it and out goes more $$$for a new one but oh what glorious music I have going on so not to worry about all that right now.
I have to say my Bel Canto D amps are crazy good for a hot climate like FL. I think in the next 5 years these types of amps will pave the way for even better SQ than the big space heaters of class A amps. The way our "America" is going $10K amps used price are not going to be looked at by many Philes. This hobby of ours needs to get the prices down in order for it to continue to live. But then again I am done with it all LOL.
The crowning glory of my system is now the full Monty Phasure and I am glad I found it.
