| PS Perfect wave power cord Barrelchief,It is an MIT whose model name I can't remember at this moment but it is a skinny cord with that little black box. I am using it now for the U-clock and might upgrade this to another AC-12 for the U-clock. It goes to show that whatever ... | |
| PS Perfect wave power cord I have now clocked 300 hours on the AC-12 power cord to the dCS Puccini player and here's my 2 cents' worth. The AC-12 as it sounds now is indeed a most extraordinary power cord. I never expected that my system could improve so much with just one ... | |
| Wadia 381 vs. dcs Puccini vs. EmmLabs CDSA SE Keisserg,Good point. The Puccini can remain as the DAC for a new solid state memory "transport". But as DAC's go, by that time dCS would have improved its upsampling algorithm to maybe 5x DSD or 44.1kHz x umpteenth power. This hobby is going to be... | |
| PS Perfect wave power cord I just got the AC-12 for my Puccini player and it fleshes out instruments, adds heft and weight to the gestalt, highs become airier, and midrange more palpable. Very happy with it. Will probably replace my old Shunyatas with AC-12's for all other ... | |
| I think I've made up my mind Tvad and Madfloyd,I used to have the ARC Ref 3 before I sold it for the dCS Puccini which doubles as a digital pre-amp. It was driving the Bryston 28B SST monoblocks and was certainly dynamic with huge dynamic contrasts. So if it sounds bland or d... | |
| Sonus Faber Cremona/JL F112 VS Sonus Faber Elipsa Unfortunately, I did not have Mcintosh amps to mate with the Elipsas. The Brystons did not do it for me. So, I guess we are back to the component synergy issues. | |
| Any better DAC then dCS Scarlatti? Murataltuev,I agree with you. I set my dCS Puccini and U-clock output at 6V as I use it with the digital volume control directly to the power amps. The 2V setting is more for use with an analogue pre-amp. Never been happier. I will try not to list... | |
| Wadia 381 vs. dcs Puccini vs. EmmLabs CDSA SE I think we all agree that vinyl sounds better than digital today. But, in the future IF digital sounds as good as analog, then this debate will be resurrected..... Amen. | |
| My findings on Magico V2.....what now? "There are no absolutes in audio, only preferences!"Roger that! Amen. | |
| Wadia 381 vs. dcs Puccini vs. EmmLabs CDSA SE Sure thing, Mike. Cheers! | |
| Wadia 381 vs. dcs Puccini vs. EmmLabs CDSA SE Mike, Please lighten up. Audio is a hobby and as all hobbies go, to each his own. I wasn't criticising vinyl per se. Maybe pubul said it better - if analog and digital were comparable, would anyone choose analog? And I was talking about the future... | |
| Wadia 381 vs. dcs Puccini vs. EmmLabs CDSA SE Mike,I used to but gave it up because of the hassle. When I come back from work to unwind, I just want to settle down and listen, not fiddle with a lot of stuff before things sound right. I know good analog when I hear it but I just can't take the... | |
| Wadia 381 vs. dcs Puccini vs. EmmLabs CDSA SE Definitely better! High-rez music either downloaded from the net or sold as memory cards would seem to be the best way to enjoy music in the future. The vinyl guys may continue with their hobby not just for nostalgia or sound quality but as a hobb... | |
| dcs Delius vs dcs Elgarplus DAC? Fully agree. Always enjoy what you have got on hand. orget the Elgar and everything else for now. | |
| dcs Delius vs dcs Elgarplus DAC? I also had the Delius plus Purcell digital front end some time ago. It's interesting you just bought yours. I assume you bought them in the secondary market at prices lower than when new(they weren't cheap) because in the digital calendar, they wo... |
