| HoloAudio May Dac, New King of dacs? Stereophiles review on it? thynamesWhile I stated this in my post,...I bought the 105 for SACD and DVD-A, which sounded good, not fantastic. The redbook sucked, which is why I bought the HD CD-1 and the AA DDP-1, which significantly improved on the 105 playing redbookThere ... | |
| HoloAudio May Dac, New King of dacs? Stereophiles review on it? GFi, et allI chased my tail with dacs, and dac/pres for years. However, I wanted to experience SACD and DVD -As, and bought a Oppo 105 some 5 years ago. Although the SACDs and DVD-As sounded ’better’ I wasn’t hearing SOTA sound. At that time I was... | |

If neither of these bother you, and you are willing to shell out the money...BUT, Underwood HiFi will be shipping their Voyager GaN amp soon (MSRP $3000), or check TweakAudios Purifi NCore class D ... | |
| Upgrade Question I, too, only spin the digital medium, which includes SACD, DVD-AI have played musical chairs with various dacs. Among the issues with an outboard dac (unless it is a dac/pre) is the extra shelf, and money for proper; vibration controls, interfacin... | |

| Floorstanding speakers - $2-3K A pair of Emerald Physics KCIIs would work well in that room | |
| Preamp suggestions, yes again Search for Audio Alchemy DDP-1 + PS 5, it includes a dac, balanced outs, headphone jack, full function remote, and likely miles above the 2 choices you mentioned | |
| Discussion of Class D Amps Application & Experiences +1 erikGfiif you wanted to make a pertinent point, you should have provided dates of these commentsI love my EVS 1200 even more that I now have the EP 3.4s. I can’t imagine Rics new venture could possibly be better, well, perhaps in smaller rooms ... | |
| PS Audio M700's with which preamp? I had the Stellar GC at the same time as the M700s. The preamp lacked body and soul. Do not stack the amps. Power cords make a huge difference. WireWorld Electra 7s are excellent and reasonably priced. Now using them throughouthth | |
