Do yo know the output power of the Jazz at 50 ohms ? I thought it was as powerfull as the Classic but it seems to be a mistake.   Edit : Thanks to Mr Meier for his explanation. I didn't read it before posting, we were typing at the same moment.

I have the same opinion about Heifetz, the version with Hendl is the best.   About Perlman, I recommend the version with Leinsdorf and Boston :      

Beside music, I recommend France 24, it's the french CNN. You can watch it on their website.   http://www.france24.com/fr/   On the right of your screen, click on "Regarder France 24".

John Mayall : So Many Roads. Amazing guitar solo played by Mick Taylor between 03:50 and 08:25, before he joined The Rolling Stones in 1969. He was only 19, and was already a great guitarist. If you like blues, listen to this solo.

Do you know Dinah Washington ?   If not, try this song: "A Foggy day". You can find it on the album "After hours with Miss D" or a compilation like "Give me back my tears". In this song, you have a great singer and instrumental solos  

Very interesting thread Project86 (as usual with you).   I've just found 2 new streaming audio devices made by Pioneer : the N50 and the N30 ($699 and $499).   The N50 is a streaming device and an USB dac (async. 24/192) with coaxial and optical inputs. The N30 is only a streaming...

Thanks for this very good review Bixby. It's worth the wait.    It's very complete and detailed.   Now we need a specialist of op amps in order to explain us the different flavors offered by Ross Martin. 

About HD 800 and cables, I've just found this review on Positive Feedback   HD 800 + ALO Audio/Moon Audio Silver Dragon and Blue Dragon/Cardas/Stephan AudioArt   http://www.positive-feedback.com/Issue54/headphones.htm

Quote: Good news. If your review is as good as the one you made about the KingRex AC 192, you are totally forgiven for the delay.    

Hello Taktell,   1 question about the power supply. It seems that the cable can't be unplugged at the rear of the dac, but at the other end of the cable, what is it, a wall wart or simply a plug ?   Thanks.

I can't answer your question about the driver, but I look forward to read your review.   Thanks.    

Some day, when you have time, if you could make a little comparison, in few words, of your Merlin and the LCD 2, it would be nice.   Thanks.  

Both use BB 1794. No Wolfson dac.
