Because remote viewing and meeting is becoming a work norm, just add a little play in it.
After some months my system changed and pretty much finalized. still have all knobs neatly in the center
My GSX-mini finally arrived and filled in the blank space on my rack.
I like how they all happen to have volume knob in the center now.
Have been playing a bit this morning. Comparing the DAC501 headphone output vs my Chord Etude... I can say that I am again incredibly surprised by what this can do.Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. You are confirming what I was hoping was the case, the Weiss DAC501 is a excellent high-end DAC.
I'm definitely very interested in one for myself later this year.
Awesome avatar.Have been playing a bit this morning. Comparing the DAC501 headphone output vs my Chord Etude... I can say that I am again incredibly surprised by what this can do.
Now obviously it has no problem driving the Meze Elites. So I tried my 1266 TC's with the DAC501 vs Chord Etude. The Weiss was able to drive them, and not just make them "loud", but the bass was present, controlled, the sound stage was as I was used to. All the boxes were checked. Now, don't get me wrong, the Etude has more grunt to it - and could drive them further, but I could easily listen to the 1266's thru the Weiss and would be very happy. For the TT2 to meet this, it would have had to have used its XLR outs.
Still waiting on the Susvaras to arrive (still being sorted in the post), and will do a similar test.
And no I don't receive any commissions on this, it just seems like for me the Weiss DAC501 came out of the blue and has me converted.

Very nice set-up, indeed.Here is my head-fi set up in my office atm.
no doesn't sound creepy *at all*Very nice set-up, indeed.
Also - this will sound a little creepy, but I used to live in Memphis and couldn't help but notice the photo on your desk, which is the fountain at South Bluffs if I'm not mistaken? This will also sound even creepier, but I think I know who your partner is in the photo (if she used to work at Bluff City Coffee?) I know the area well, because I used to live around the corner in The Lofts at South Bluffs (and miss it quite a bit...!)
