Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD
Matt, according to Meitner they have a major firmware update that will make a significant improvement in the sound of the MA-1. It is supposed to be released this month. Check with Merrill if his MA-1 has that update otherwise you might want to wa...

+1. On both the Veritas Amps and the Stillpoints Ultra SS footers. I agree that they make a worthwhile improvement. Not only to the Veritas vs the Ultra Minis but under anything.I have a set on my B&W 802D speakers. I also have tried Merrill A...

Now you've done it Matt. Every red blooded Audiophile on the planet will now HAVE to own a Flockazinga (I hope I spelled that right). I don't know about the rest of you but I already paid for mine, before the line gets to long. I went for the swee...

Gary, thanks for your reply and understanding. But again prior to my postings I was never informed that the DSD DAC I had was a prototype. If I had been informed of that I would have not even bothered to try it, either at the Club meeting or anywh...

Matt, I agree. Even with the reference to the Diamond it does not give enough of a reference to relate to. Mind you I have heard the Diamond and I thought at the time it was the best DAC I had heard but that was several years ago and that is a VER...

Bojack, THE 60s??!! Really!! So nothing has changed in 50 years. While I agree that most make no, very little difference or make things worse there ARE a few that make a positive difference. But like all things audio you do need to pay for the imp...

Also the Meitner has out performed a Lampizator L4 DSD only DAC and a Phasure DAC. Those two I heard for myself. The Phasure gave a good fight and lost by only the smallest of margins. A higher level/newer Lampizator DSD might make a difference.Al...

Hi Matt. I am going to ask you to add another DAC to your comparisons. But you will not have to pay any money. Meitner MA-1 DACExplanation below.Two of my Audio buddies, who have a lot of experience in Audio have had a chance to compare the DS to ... 
Power Chords better than TWL at the price?
I highly recommend the entry level cable (MKIII) from Waveform, previously Kaplan Cable, for your integrated. List is $529. Makes each instrument sound lifelike.
