    DENAFRIPS Terminator: the King of R2R dac

    The DT is indeed very special. My favorite DAC to date. Very highly recommended.

    Audeze's The King Headphone Amp on Indiegogo for 30 Days

    I just got my cherished MK I back from the upgrade to MK II. No regrets. Blacker blacks, more visceral and spatial without inducing fatigue, if that makes sense. Then again: de gustibus non disputandum Having said this, if you enjoy music, do try. You may fall hard, very hard. For me, the...

    Audeze's The King Headphone Amp on Indiegogo for 30 Days

    Further to my previous post, and to clarify my 'criticisms' - they are not related to performance of the amp.     The finish of the black components of the case, while not terrible, is not on par with what one expects at this price level.  It appears that Audeze recognizes this, as it was...

    Audeze's The King Headphone Amp on Indiegogo for 30 Days

    #41 arrived this week. Had lots of communication with Audeze prior to arrival and since. This is a very serious headphone amp. After brief exposure, I understand previous comments. However, at this level of performance, it comes down to preference and mood. First world 'problems'....choices...

    iPhone 3GS / Pure i-20 / streaming OK?

    The i-20 is a great product.  I have been using it with my iPhone 4 and iPad 2 for about six months (digital out).  DACs were Wyred4Sound DAC 2 and Eastern Electric Minimax DAC Plus.  No comparison to the analog out on either iDevice.  Different than running a Mac (via Pure Music, Bitperfect...

    Wyred 4 Sound Music Server

    A quick update.   I have now listened to the server extensively with a wide range of music.  The sources were anything from 16/44 to 24/192.  The best set up and combination by far is W4S MS into W4S DAC2 by I2S.  It is like taking a veil away compared to other options.  Everything snaps...

    Wyred 4 Sound Music Server

    The W4S MS 2 showed up at my door this Wednesday.  The wait was well worth it.  I could not be happier with the quality of the sound in my system and the incredible ease of use.     I have not had a better digital source in my system (Oppo BDP 95, Mac with Pure...

    REVIEW AND COMPARISON: Eddie Current Balancing Act and SUPER 7

    Like Anaxilus said - you need to determine what you are looking for.   For me, it is the S7 all the way.  Stratospherical price/performance, ability to hook up high sensitivity speakers when I am ready, great synergy with my headphones.   Did a lot of listening today.  Sources anything...

    REVIEW AND COMPARISON: Eddie Current Balancing Act and SUPER 7

    Some more S7 impressions.     The S7/LCD 2 combo is something to behold.  I have the tendency to be a very analytical listener (play piano and pipe organ).  That can get in the way of enjoying the music. However, the music pouring out of this system is extremely detailed without making your...

    REVIEW AND COMPARISON: Eddie Current Balancing Act and SUPER 7

    I just received my Super 7 (S/N 4).  It made the trip from CA to PA unharmed despite FedEx trying really hard to drown it.  Thanks to the excellent packaging, no harm at all.  Plugging in the stock tubes and hooking up the DAC and Grado HP 2s was easy.  I then let things settle in for 30 minutes...
