MCINTOSH LABS INTRODUCES NEW HEADPHONE AMP MODEL MHA 100
Nah.. the sound it makes is already the reward. Update on the combo. It seems after putting in a few hours, the combo lacks presence with the upper mids. Shouted Vocals youd expect to end in with glory are somewhat cutoff. But still an enjoyable rig.- ShySugarDaddy

MCINTOSH LABS INTRODUCES NEW HEADPHONE AMP MODEL MHA 100
Yup, 1 layer is taller than the others, based from your statement that the 302 is twice the size of the d100. the 302 would fit perfectly with ample breathing space. Well, i don't think there is a 3 layer version, but you can just skip 1 layer on assembly and make it a reserve. Sorry for...- ShySugarDaddy

Just 2 dents on the left side but still noticable. They offered to give me a new one but I would need to send it back first. I fell inlove with the sound I didnt want it to leave my rack even for a day.- ShySugarDaddy

MCINTOSH LABS INTRODUCES NEW HEADPHONE AMP MODEL MHA 100
Yup very very very noticeable, it's a whole new beast with the D100. ill give it a 9.3/10 compared to the Internal Dac of the MHA-100 which is a 7'ish/10. Everything improved with the D100 Mine came in with cosmetic damages due to shipping (knowing myself i'd ship that item back to the...- ShySugarDaddy

Sabre nautilus rack (has an option to add layers and spiked feet for every layer but will cost extra). quite cheap really, around $240 for the basic 4 layer.- ShySugarDaddy

Closed my eyes, took a deep breathe and sold a kidney. Oh man.... at first i wasn't impressed with the mha100, but after pairing it with the d100's DAC. Sorry for the noob impression with the Mac combo. New silver cable and DAC is not yet burned in. Highs- Softened up , Slight...- ShySugarDaddy

7 for the Dac Yup a bit bass heavy and a bit forward, well its a good thing if you're into modern booming tunes. crank that bass gain up and you'll have your own sub beside your ear. I'll rate the Dac in my cantata as 8.8- ShySugarDaddy

MCINTOSH LABS INTRODUCES NEW HEADPHONE AMP MODEL MHA 100
Please don't, I don't want to sell my remaining kidney hahaha. Better yet. An MHA-100-TND (tube-based) with an internal DAC same with the d100 and a 150w speaker amp per channel. That would make it a perfect. Wishful thinking :P- ShySugarDaddy

MCINTOSH LABS INTRODUCES NEW HEADPHONE AMP MODEL MHA 100
Just slap in more mooolah and im sure the mha-100 will sound better :p... Mha-100w/ external Dac > wa7d/tp wtubes > mha-100 Well if you add up the speaker amp to the value it may be a winner for that price. All my assessment for that price is solely based on the headphone dac and amp section...- ShySugarDaddy

MCINTOSH LABS INTRODUCES NEW HEADPHONE AMP MODEL MHA 100
Good point. hmmm. but still, i think the mha-100 could still have done better with that steep price. considering that (for my experience) a wa7d/tp with upgraded tubes sounded better at a quarter of the price. I think it was just a marketing move for macintosh, so that people would be forced...- ShySugarDaddy

MCINTOSH LABS INTRODUCES NEW HEADPHONE AMP MODEL MHA 100
For me the amp side is not an "okey" amp but a "wow" almost perfect amp for the hd800. Dac side is okey but still better than most, its just that the dac is not worth the price tag it comes with. Its a disspointment if youre going to factor the price per expectation ratio.- ShySugarDaddy

MCINTOSH LABS INTRODUCES NEW HEADPHONE AMP MODEL MHA 100
Yeah I mean even with its cons its still an enjoyable rig... Maybe if I didn't have my wa7 with upgraded tubes my comment would be in a much better tone. It just pains me that something with 1/4 (if i'm not mistaken) bested my mha-100. Well, There is still room for improvement (D100). Just need...- ShySugarDaddy

REVIEW: Resolution Audio Cantata Music Center DAC/CD Player
Having tested the cantata i have a few gripes with it. (which i hope is an isolated case) - Turning it on using the remote sometimes wont turn it on. requiring a hard restart every failure. - It has a hard time feeding on the CD - Sometimes it won't play at 192k. Fixated at 96k. - Already...- ShySugarDaddy

REVIEW: Resolution Audio Cantata Music Center DAC/CD Player
Nope not a fuse.. apparently after sending it back to the local store. They were able to fix it by resetting a relay?! i don't know if that is a real thing... at-least its fixed.. hopefully them opening the cantata up didn't have a permanent effect on the sound :)- ShySugarDaddy
