Hi folks...glad to see everyone's still loving their Euforias (and that I myself don't have to keep heaping endless praise on her!!
). Nice too that you,
@Tunkejazz, are also agreeing with us already lol! I foresee a good many late nights ahead for you, just as a good few here have enjoyed before you!...(me included)...
I suppose I must take a fair bit of the blame for recent 'frenzy' concerning DACs, after my own foray into upgrades of system elements, especially Chord Hugo 2 territory (for which, alas, I must wait until end July probably, given the delay in final release, even though the first units have now shipped). With any luck, I hope to have more time by then to add even more to this discussion...sorry
@aqsw!).
In my (and others'!) defence, as I have mentioned many times already, this has been - and still is - all in the interests of gaining the maximum possible performance from this wonderful amp. Just as I personally was beginning to believe I'd pushed her almost to the limit, I have been astounded at the leaps in performance from upgrades elsewhere...as covered in depth already, and before the new DAC even! On the subject of which...
AT LAST!!!...my pronouncements on what can be achieved from 'standard' CD quality material - given the right equipment, and preferably
coax connection - are being confirmed by such as your good selves
@UntilThen and
@pctazhp!!
. Euforia just seems to keep on rising to the challenge, and hence justifies the rather high cost of the sort of gear we have been covering recently. I myself still don't regret a single penny of the higher-than-expected assault on my own wallet of late lol! The sound now emanating from my T1s via the upgrades is a mile away from stock...there's simply no comparison. And I wish you all the same kind of success, if (and when!) contemplating any future forays into this territory...
So it's 'bye for now y'all, and keep on enjoying what Euforia can bring into our lives...CHEERS!...CJ
ps. So glad things turned out well for you and your Gumby
@connieflyer...and that pct and UT don't seem to be living in Cloud Cuckoo Land after all -
too often, at least!!
