Not a big believer in cables but I have to admit, the QED Reference XLR 40 Analogue XLR to XLR Interconnect 3.0M pair I got today added quite a bit of transparency to my system. Can't wait for the 0.6m interconnects (same model) to arrive to replace the cheap pair I'm using now between the DAC and the Soloist. The long ones are connecting the Soloist to the Focal active monitors and they are not just for looks If you have the budget for some serious cables, go for it, you won't regret it!

Nice! I got some Shape 50s hooked up with mine...

They are great, these monitors, aren't they? Imaging is out of this world. Listening to Shape 65s for about a year now and saving for a pair of Trio 11Be big boys. Have to say, the Soloist brought my speakers to life, it's like magic. I am hardly touching my headphones these days, the sound out of these speakers is that good.

It is good to play with chargers but I hope to see Soloist 3X Reference and Composer 3X Reference (dual DAC + MQA) one day.

Interesting. I don't think I've every head someone refer the RME as a sharp DAC before...

Despite my scepticism, my curiosity got the better of me and mine shipped yesterday.

I had the RME and it was indeed "sharper" than my current R2R DAC. But then, most delta-sigma are sharper, whatever that means. ADI-2 is a fantastic unit, nevertheless.

Burson is working with Meridian to add full decoding of MQA

 

[sabloke]

So happy my Soloist is full analog and won't need any MQA chops added to its brains

Well, I don't think they can anyhow upgrade the Composer 3XP since it requires some hardware changes, right (for full mqa decoding)?

Might be firmware update?

 

[qsk78]

Might be firmware update?

I'm not a big specialist in MQA but:

• Full Decoder: A full decoder includes: stream Authentication, Origami unfold to Core and then further unfolds with precise file and platform-specific DAC compensation and management according to the hierarchical target. This is the highest possible sound quality.

Not sure if firmware update can help. We'll see.

Nice review. I hope my super charger arrives shortly.

 

[DMR14]

Does anyone run or ran Soloist 3XP with DT880 600ohm? If you,, would you share your view/experience with it? I found one review here with poweramp mode but it is not for me since my DAC doesn't have any output controls or know.

I am curious whether it is a good pairing..

I tried dt880 600ohm briefly with my conductor 3x ref half year ago (I assume they are similar). It didn't sound bad, but I still prefer tubes.
