| Devore 0/96 - Integrated AMP help Three easy payments,I have heard the Luxman MQ-88c! Has a rich dark sound lacking in air and lifelike tonality. Never heard the 300b one though. Leben will leave it in the dust! | |
| Devore 0/96 - Integrated AMP help Let me save you some money! Only Leben, Shindo, Air Tight or Kondo (Audio Note) can make your speakers sing! Please don't get Luxman or Accuphase or even Dartzeel for that matter! Gl 😆 | |
| Tube Amplifier Sound Characteristics Teaser! I don't want to brag but just got new integrated amp that can run circles around the usual suspects! Last time I alerted giant killer was Stenheim Alumine three!Enjoy the music!😆 | |
| Cary Audio SLP-05 or Conrad Johnson ET7 S2 jjss49,How big of an upgrade is the Et3se to the ET7 S2? | |
| Two new Schiit Yggdrasil's released yesterday! Donniewn! Just add the Freya+!☺️ | |
| Experience with good d/s DACs “comparable@ to R2R? SMSL 400! Cheers! | |
| Mola Mola Tambaqui Aries Cerat is top notch stuff too! When your past $10k it more has to do with system matching and synergy! | |
| Mola Mola Tambaqui Yes true jjss49! Someone reported that listen to TT2 and Mscaler and actually prefer Pontus II! That's how I feel when I compare my Ares II to my Qutest. Qutest had a bit more resolution but overall sound thin on my system. I wonder if due to the ... | |
| Mola Mola Tambaqui Hey jjss49! I recently saw Hans latest video! His new reference is Chord Dave with Mscaler! | |
| Mola Mola Tambaqui I wouldn't doubt it navyachts! My Ares II handlily displaced Chord Qutest. So price is not always indicator of quality of sound. But I keep writing tests have to conducted level matched and not knowing which dac is in the chain when auditioning. | |
| Mola Mola Tambaqui Ok thanks jjss49! I will probably stick with Pontus II. So for sure with Pontus II you don't trade resolution with less warmth compared to Ares II? I read most reviews like Calvin Hobbes and of course your impressions it's a win win but only one r... | |
| Mola Mola Tambaqui Hi again jjss49!I am narrowing it down to Pontus II and AN 0.1x or SW1x dac 1 special. Both those dacs use the Phillips TDA 1543 chip with a tube inside. My question is can those units sound as full and resolute as the Pontus? | |
| Mola Mola Tambaqui Ok thanks for clarifying jjss49! Seems Pontus II is next logical step for me without spending too much. Cheers!☺️ | |
| Mola Mola Tambaqui Ok thanks jjss49! I didn't know you owned the AN 4.1 dac. That's out of my budget. I might inquire about the SW1x dac that are similar to to AN. Btw from Ares II to Pontus II do you lose warmth of Ares for Pontus resolution? Or is Pontus more of e... | |
| Mola Mola Tambaqui Ok thanks jjss49! I was thinking of Musician Draco. Audio Note kits 2.1!Pontus II is definitely a possibility as well! |
