Finally sit back and listen.
...and I must say quite mad, indeed. If I am aware of my sickness, am I still really sick? I have a large enough SACD collection to be able to enjoy the CDSD/DCC2 combo. This is the end all.

I can't wait to hear this DCC2 source next time. You're keeping it right?

 

[immtbiker]

It's a keeper. I should have gotten the DAC6e instead, though since I'm a multichannel man. But it's cool with headphones and the DAC can be directly hooked up to the amp, because it has a high end pre-amp balanced output with volume control, but I will probably never use it.

The Steel Wheels certainly rolled right over me. I wonder how the K4 would sound out of the HEV90?

 

[lan]

It would be very explosive probably. Let's not try that

I think I'll just maybe wait for handme downs from this thread to upgrade maybe from HEV70

YOW! "My source components were Ed Meitner’s $9995 EMM Labs DAC6e six-channel DSD converter and a Meitner-modified Philips SACD1000 transport (the modification is $1400; the price of the transport varies, as this model has been discontinued and is available only through the used market). These two components were configured to pass a DSD signal via ST glass optical cable. You’ve heard about these components if you follow the audiophile Internet buzz, and I’m here to tell you that the superlatives you’ve heard are true. My digital reference up to this point, the most excellent Esoteric DV-50 universal audio/video player, was trounced in all of ten seconds -- playing SACDs, the improvement in resolution and transparency was mind-numbingly apparent to all in attendance."

Aaron don't tell them about the Secret handshake
