I agree with some of the findings when it comes to sonics. The Muse 9s blew away my 860x. My system consists of BAT VK30se pre, Rowland 8t amp, B&W N802, Analysis PLus speaker wires + xlr int(Silver Ovals), Transparent Ultra xlr int from pre to amp, 3 Richard G, 1 Quantum Symphony, powersnakes Cobra, Viper 2, sidewinders, ASC tube traps for room treatment. Compared the 9s to the Resolution cd55, Perpetual Technologies upsampler dac system, Bel Canto, and found the 9s to be better in my system.
Muse 9 CDP the best CD I ever have heard
Just gor my new Muse 9 signature CDP. WOw what a incredible good sound. I dint thinbk that you could get so good sond from old redbook CDs. The resolution and prrsentation of microdetail is faboulus, The sound is so musical and utterly refined easily outperforming Wadia 860ix previosly the best in my system, I havent heard enough of 2496 CDs yet to comment on that sound. But at below 4000 dollars I think its a steal!! Anyone else who have heard this CDP?
