Even Here, you can see with the orpheus the same zhaolu setting next to my setup.

It seems kinda silly to me that other people are telling you that your source isn't good enough for your headphone/amp, when you're one of the few people with such a good headphone/amp and you've compared a "high end" dac vs your zhaolu and found that you prefer the zhaolu

while there's no harm in auditioning other high end sources, you're one of the very few people who can even comment on such a rig. I wonder how many people in this thread have used orpheus/aristaeus+omega with the zhaolu?

I agree.

The guys got a $10K headphone / amp combo. Few people have actually heard and spent intimate time with such systems. If you haven’t tried a truly High-End source with such a combo you have no idea what it’s capable of.

If you read the thread- the people with similar systems suggested trying a high-end source. The people who don’t own such systems think it’s a waste of money. Think about that for a moment? Take a moment and read the peoples profiles when they make recommendations. Most are commenting on things they know nothing about and probably have never even heard or seen.


“Good enough” doesn’t cut it at this level. Just go to the dedicated source forum and read the posts from people who thought their computer was a “good enough” source. Only to have their eyes opened when they acquired a real source.

I haven't used it with the zhaolu and while anything is possible, I doubt very much that it is at the level of an Ayre, Esoteric, Meridian, etc. I've heard this combo with all of the above. No one is telling him to buy anything just to consider the possibility. As brailldriver said, "The guys got a $10K headphone / amp combo." Why not see what it can do with other (high end) sources. It would be "silly" for him not to.

hah, call me a hypocrite, but there is a deal for a watch I cant deny. You guys know how I am when I see opportunity for a good deal...Ive always been sprastic about selling things so Here I am selling my omega I on ebay. Ive been getting into watches latley and one came up for a price I cant deny. it cost over 100,000 retail but of course Im getting it for a much better price.

I've gotten a few pm's asking if its a scam listing but its not. Enjoy

^ ..and they are now up for international bidders as well (compared to last time..).
Great!

Have there been any postings of side-by-side comparisons of an Aristaeus, and an ES-1, versus an HEV90? Also, have there been side-by-side comparisons of an O2 with an HE90? IMO, it'll take such comparisons to provide meaningful evaluations of the relative performance of these units.

 

[surfboardz26]

I dont think there has be direct comparisons, but thats going to change at the national meet..I hope (it should as all that equiptment will be there)

Would you mind telling me what watch it is? Skeletal Tourbillon movement by any chance? no...that sounds too oldstyle for you.....richard mille perhaps?
I'm also interested in watches....I's love to see a pic of a georgous watch!

hey, It was going to be a patek phillipe, but the seller was to sketchy and was bad with communication. I ended up getting a cartier santos 100 chronograph, rolex daytona, rolex GMT-II, and I just got a daniel roth.

I posted pictures in the member lounge thread that says "watches another passion of ours it seems" so check it out.

I'm glad the significance of this is over my head so I can't be jealous.
