| DAW vs Alexia 1 vs Sasha 2, descending order of $$ I upgraded from the Sophia 1 to the Sasha 2 (passed on the Alexia 1); this was an appreciable across-the-board sonic improvement + easier to drive, while maintaining a similar footprint / height, at a reasonable cost - no diminishing returns here,... | |
| Looking for THE amp to anchor my system, Krell, Plinius or maybe a D I replaced my Krell Evolution 2250e with a Devialet Expert 200; in my system (WA Sasha 2 / Transparent Reference / Sony HAP-Z1ES / Large Room), the Devialet was a clear notch above the Krell; both were in my system at the same time and the sonic i... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! As a long-time Owner of Wilson Audio Speakers, my advice is to take your time and to be patient in setting them up, 1/2 inch moves make a difference, keep the Tweeters 9' > 10' apart, sit at a distance of no more than 1.10 > 1.20 : 1, stay c... | |

| Devialet Expert Long Term Experience? I've been using Devialet for a while now (Expert 400 & Expert 200), coming off of Pass, Krell, Mark Levinson, ARC, BAT & McIntosh and have found it to be easy-to-use, very reliable and "sonically competitive" with Preamp. / Amp. / DAC comb... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! whitecamaross Go for the WA Sasha 2, I purchased mine more than a year ago and have been very happy with them, with a wide range of Amplifiers. I also considered Rockport and Magico, but found the Wilson to be the better value. The Revel Salon 2 a... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! I'm using Devialet (Class A/D Hybrid) after many years of Krell, Pass Labs, BAT, Mark Levinson and McIntosh ownership, and I have no plans to go back to using legacy (Class A/B) amplifiers. The size, weight, efficiency, aesthetics and sound of the... | |
| Decisions, Decisions.... Mcintosh, Devialet and B&W Advice Needed Why not go back to the Devialet 400, or move up to the 800? I preferred the Devialet 200 when compared to the McIntosh C52 / MC452 combo., on Wilson Audio Speakers. The TI PCM1792 DAC inside the Devialet is excellent. | |
| Pass Labs XA30.8: is it enough for Wilson Sasha 2? Pass Labs had recommended the X-250.8 (or INT-250) for my Wilson Audio Sasha 2 Speakers, set-up in a 26' x 20' x 10' (H) Room. I had an X-250.5 for my Sophia 1 Speakers, set-up in the same Room, and it sounded perfect, while the less-powerful INT-... | |

| Devialet Premier Original with Wilson Sophia 2 - Anyone Head this combo? I've owned 2 pairs of Sophias and Devialet --- I would recommend going with a newer Devialet Model that has "SAM" DSP for Wilson Audio Sophia Speakers. | |
| New Sony HAP-Z1ES Firmware Out Today Sony helped me rollback my firmware to the previous version, until the new firmware is revised. My HAP-Z1ES is back online and once again working like a dream. | |
| New Sony HAP-Z1ES Firmware Out Today I'm having the same problem (USB Digital Output not working / Analog Output works fine) due to the 2/28/2017 Firmware Update. I opened a Trouble Ticket with Sony - Japan, I'll follow-up with them next week and post the results. | |
| What ever happened to Krell ? I agree with john1's comments; I was a long-time Krell Customer having owned more than a dozen of their components over the years, but no more for all of the reasons stated above. | |
| Wilson Audio Haters I have continuously owned Wilson Audio Speakers over the past 15 years, I'm currently on my 5th pair (Sasha 2) and have been very happy with the performance and quality of the excellent products offered by this outstanding American Company. Unfort... |
