Audio GD Master-11(Combination from Master 7 and Master 9)
I got the 10.32 which I presume is near enough the same. I have never bothered looking for another dac/amp since as its just brilliant. I am running HD800's balanced (normal cable) and the sound is sublime.- oculus

Audio-GD Master 9
The differences between ACSS and XLR are the sound levels but I would be hard put to tell if one was better than the other. SE v Balanced, I think there is a more of a difference but once again different sound levels. I dont have M9 but the Ref 10.32 which is close I presume. Sounds...- oculus

Audio-Gd Reference 10
...(in reality you are probably not compromising) so if you are sensible you are done. Unless they suddenly come out with a codec that improves the interpretation of the sound, changing amps/dacs might alter the sound a fraction. Only my opinion, probably got ****ty hearing.- oculus

The (new) HD800 Impressions Thread
Improvements are generally small. The change/improvement you will get with changing headphones/speakers is probably 10x the amount you will get with changing dacs/amps. Thats my opinion having fannyed around changing these.- oculus

get an audio gd 10.32 and you are done. Great DAC, Great Amplifier. Works perfectly with a balanced HD800 (standard lead).- oculus

Audio-Gd Reference 10
I really think you about as good as you get with an audio gd 10.32. The difference between a cheap audio gd integrated and expensive integrated is subtle. I think you can probably change the flavour of the sound but highly unlikely to get the sound better.- oculus

Is Sabre ES9018 the best DAC chip right now?
The difference between correctly implemented chips is so subtle, its hard to really tell the difference. I have an low end wolfson chip based DAC (nfb 12) and a mid priced R2R (audio gd ref 10.32) and the difference is there but its minor. Yes the 10.32 is better but so is the amping on that...- oculus

The (new) HD800 Impressions Thread
I think any of the top end balanced audio gd dacs will be good. Master 7, nfb-7 or nfb-8 will be brilliant with the master 9. Very subtle differences between the 3 types of DAC.- oculus

The (new) HD800 Impressions Thread
I am running the HD800 with the Audio-gd Reference 10.32. A marriage made in heaven in my opinion, having tried a wolfson amp/ dac which does work well with the slightly brighter HD800 sound, but pcm 1704uk dac of the Reference 10.32 is sublime. The Ref 10.32 does give a very natural sound. I...- oculus

The one song that defines a band/artist...
I agree with you guys so far, only debate for me would be welcome to the jungle, whether sweet child of mine or paradise city would be the defining track for Guns and roses. The intro to Welcome to the Jungle is just superb. thanks. -

The one song that defines a band/artist...
I will start this off with the group Roxy Music from their self titled album. This is a clever song with a mediocre beginning followed by incredible second and third verses. This would be my defining track of Roxy Music. Arguments welcomed. -

not enough respect for Barbara Streisand! No one comes close to shifting as many albums as this lady. All time greatest. And the fact she is one of the greatest actors ..... They dont make em like they used to.. Brings emotion to her songs like no other
