Yes it is indeed killer for the money. Now it makes one wonder if something higher up the stax chain is still needed...although I have a Carbon incoming

 

[Rossliew]

I may , just may get a pair of 007 Mkii to complement the lambda. Or should I get a used pair of 009? Listen to metal mostly. And have a tubed Audio Note 4.1 Dac, parasound zdac and bimby to Dac roll.

 

[wink]

get both........

 

[Whitigir]

Lol, you know why Stax deemed and advertised the 009 to be their current Top of the line ? Because 007 is not .

Now, can you bring the 009 to it best potential or not ? Who knows what gears you have there, but you get my point

 

[Rossliew]

Heh...thanks for the feedback guys

 

[paradoxper]

I listen to 90-ish% metal and prefer the 009. 007 doesn't really lack much either, though.

The only choice is both.

Yeah, once in doubt, buy them all . At least, one in the bunch would stand out, decide with the rest later hehehe

@paradoxper in your signature there's mention of a DAC V...is this the Naim V1?

No, MSB. I've never tried any of Naim's products but may look into it if I can find a dealer.

 

[Whitigir]

Try Jason @thesourceAV ?

I've had the pleasure of an audition when it was first released years back but the price has gone up quite a fair bit now due to exchange rate concerns...but my curiosity remains

 

[paradoxper]

Perhaps a used unit could be a route to go. I hate the dealer makeup but they do offer some conveniences.

Or as Wink says ad nauseam "get a yggy."

 

[Rossliew]

Used Yggys are hard to come by in Malaysia...maybe better chance in Singapore.

The Denafrips seem like an affordable bet

 

[paradoxper]

Well, first focus on enjoying your Carbon - then sort the 009/007 decision and wrap up finalizing your DAC.
Lots of great choices out there to optimize your chain.
