| APL NWO2.5 ? Steve, you're most welcome! Enjoy it! :-)The Denons, as well as many other high-end digital products, has a switching mode power supply inside, while the NWO and many others have linear power supply. The reason why I am bringing this up is because... | |
| APL NWO2.5 ? Mmakshak, your entry level APL 3910 does not have volume control built in so you can not go direct to the amps. The NWO-2.5 has the volume built-in but, until now, it did not offer analog inputs. This was a problem for customers with vinyl setups.... | |
| APL Esoteric X-01 Alex, why don't you put the digital input n mine, so David can try it?I knew this is coming... :-)Ok, I will, although I don't really see what other digital source would outperform the Esoteric VRDS-NEO transport in the NWO-2.5. :-)May be Deshapir... | |
| APL Esoteric X-01 Deshapiro, there are number of NWO-2.5 players with the digital input (coax S/PDIF up to 192/24) so this option is available now. The two other options which will be available in a month or so are Wi-Fi (wireless audio stream from PC) based on re-... | |
| APL NWO2.5 ? Bob, it can be 1.5 or 2.5V RMS. Regards,Alex | |
| APL NWO2.5 ? Audiosu, the output stage inside the Denon is a version of my own preamp output stage. :-) This one is Single Ended. The NWO-2.5 tube stage is differential (balanced) which, among other benefits, results in significantly increased output power and... | |
| APL NWO2.5 ? There are very nice sounding preamps available, no doubt about it. I also have my own preamp design which has been sitting on the shelf unused for 2 years now. Except for switching the sources and eventual phono stage built in, the preamp main fun... | |
| APL NWO2.5 ? Thanks for the commercial message Alex.Nothing commercial Bob, just the truth and also a direct answer to a specific question asked by Dgarretson.Vinyl rig #1 (Teres 360) belongs to Hifirabbit here on AudiogonVinyl rig #2 (SME30) belongs to Sychde... | |
| APL NWO2.5 ? I'm curious which hi-end TT's and phono stages have been equalled by NWO2.5 RBCD.As reported by the owners, the NWO-2.5 equaled and sometimes outperformed the following vinyl setups:1. Teres 360/Shroeder Reference/Lyra Olympus/Artemis PL-1 2. SME3... | |
| APL NWO2.5 ? The inverse is just as true. Moreso if you ask me.This may be true but you will have to spend substantial amount of money on downstream components while still not sure if they will truly reveal the source capabilities. The NWO-2.5 is also capable ... | |
| APL NWO2.5 ? Drubin, Mmakshak's Denon 3910 is the all-solid state entry level APL player with the original PCM1796 Burr-Brown DACs. It has re-designed output stage with MOSFET output buffers. So, no AKM DACs, no Upsampler, no Tubes. It really sounds very good ... | |
| Esoteric X-01 SE vs EMM CDSA SE SACDs do not murder music. . . irresponsible recording engineers with SACDs murder music!Ditto!Regards,Alex | |
| Today's Transport War: Significant Differences? RUR is not nonsense. I am pretty sure Harley would also not call it that.Instead of getting the data off the CD in a single pass, RUR reads the disc until a predetermined level of the total data on the CD has been extracted. In the case of the MP ... | |
| Today's Transport War: Significant Differences? 01-03-07: TheaudiotweakIs playing off the memory chip considered a transport?Of course, most of today's DVD based players (even $70 Toshiba) take the audio data off a memory chip, not the transport.Regards,Alex | |
| Today's Transport War: Significant Differences? Thank you Olesno! This explains it....I am sure that compared to your Sony 777 the MP is night and day better when used as a transport with the TACT. Regards, Alex |
