Luxman DA-200
Yes, it looks really cool, clear and simple, yet classy as always with Luxman gear. What I like is that the conceptors have obviously paid equal attention to both DAC and amp sections, which is not common. If the amp really comes from the P1u, there would be no need to buy a separate high...- cedar80

Luxman DA-200
Looks very promising... from what I understood (with the help of Google translator), the da section is taken from the D-05 CD player (a $5000 one), and the amp section is derivated from the P1u (no need to introduce it)! Love the look. Expected price is ¥155,400 (1360 euros/$1910). Sounds like a...- cedar80

Apparently the Matrix CUBE is available.
2 years ago I had the chance to listen to a Lehmann Black Cube Linear in a recording and mixing studio. For those who don't know it's considered as one of the best sounding SS amps, and has been extensively used by Sennheiser during the HD800 development. It impressed me a lot: clarity...- cedar80

So... what about that cube? Soundwise, how does it compare with the mini-I? I'm really hesitating, thanks!- cedar80

Apparently the Matrix CUBE is available.
I'm so tempted... and I'm now hesitating between this and the Mini-i. On one hand the Mini-I has balanced and unbalanced outs, on the other hand the Cube, while having unbalanced outs only, does ASRC... I'd love to know which one has the overall best SQ. Especially as a DAC-only...- cedar80

REVIEW: Meier Audio Concerto headphone amp
Thanks... I really think I'm gonna get one! One last question before I make my decision (hope I don't bother you, and all my apologies if you already answered this in another thread): Which one do you prefer, Amphora or Concerto? They seem to share a similar "straight wire with gain"...- cedar80

REVIEW: Meier Audio Concerto headphone amp
Skylab, how does the Concerto compete with the Blue Circle SBH? Reading your reviews they seem to play in the same ballpark, am I wrong?- cedar80

Top 5 wide sound stage headphones
Quote: To clarify a bit, I would'nt say that the CD3000 has the best soundstage in a realistic way. The CD3000's ass-kicking wide and deep soundstage and overall presentation are (to me) somewhat dreamy, like your head was in a bubble, or a cocoon, call it what you want, more...- cedar80
