| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Don't know squat about DACs, but I'll just mention in passing that I bought a DEQX device for time coherence correction and room EQ, which has considerable DAC capabilities which I am still exploring. I think the DEQX DAC may have just bested the ... | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? Al, you and I are both old enough to know that some questions are best not asked. I'm "freeze tagging" on the DEQX's analogue functionality viz my phono. The thought that my Ref 5 SE could be an irrelevant artifact is too difficult to bear.I had t... | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? DEQX Update: I used an extra XLR connector from another application to hook up the Ref CD-8 CDP digital output directly into the DEQX via the XLR D4 input socket. The acoustic sound presentation is similar, but the DEQX DAC function produces a som... | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? Well stated Drewan. | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? Forresstc .... I will post a more detailed report that lays out the details of my DEQX audition. It took 2 sessions. The first session was worthless because of serious room issues and my speakers are just too large for the room. Plus, the second s... | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? Al, right now, my vinyl and CDP are connected in usual fashion to the ARC Ref 5 SE pre. The DEQX is inserted between the Ref 5 and the Ref 150 amp. The DEQX is "twisting" the signal there. As I said, it's hard to know the extent to which the DEQX ... | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? Drewan ... I bought the rep's demo, which was a PreMate. So I have DAC capabilities ... to be explored and understood in the coming days and weeks. Bombaywalla ... the DEQX device can cut-out the correction circuit and step out of the signal path ... | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? The DEQX home demo was completed last night. I am buying the DEQX. Not being inclined to the use of vivid hyperbole, I do not think the DEQX is transformational. But I do think the improvements are considerable and significant enough for me to spr... | |
| New KT150 tubes? David256, ARC has unofficially said that their tested and calibrated KT-150s will sell for almost $200 per tube. By contrast, ARC sells KT-120s for about $100 a tube. Way over my what I will spend for a tube. By contrast, Upscale Audio is charging... | |
| WHAT IS GOING ON WITH VPI ?? Pbnaudio .... Peter, I stand corrected. You are 100% correct ... period. Mat, if you catch this thread, I hope all turns out well with your grandfather. I apologize for a momentary lapse of "asshole'ery."Bruce | |
| New KT150 tubes? Wolf, .... Undertow makes an interesting point, but ... the KT-150 will list for twice the price of the KT-120. I am dubious that ARC will get stuck with thousands of KT-120 tubes even if the KT-150s are approved for use in the current product off... | |
| winged c 6550c is not good for ref 5se?? Kevin Deal is a pretty honest guy. If he declined to ship the Winged Cs, he had a good reason. Kevin also sells the 6550 WE, which is the tube ARC is currently uses in the power supply of its Ref 5 SE linestage and other input products.I was surpr... | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? Bombaywalla ... my DEQX appointment was cancelled and rescheduled for next week. I was tangled up with urgent client matters that HAD to be sorted out on the 15th, which is the final due date for calendar year corporate tax returns that on extensi... | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? Psag, illuminate me. How the heck am I going to move a 100 pound speaker and a 75 pound amp outside. And what about power connections. I'm sorry ... I'm just am having a problem figuring out the logistics. | |
| WHAT IS GOING ON WITH VPI ?? Autospec ... try this telephone number: 732-583-6895I may write my own e mail to Mat. I'm sorry to learn about Mat's grandfather. While I can understand why the Weisfeld family is offline, there's still Mike, Jack and Jason. I wish Mat's grandfath... |
