| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Guido. Thank you. RCA are #5 and #6. When you say rca1 do you mean RCA #5? | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD I went with the brand new unit. Not the kit.Fortunately for me, the Aeris, Big6 and OverDrive SE are all pre-owned or demo units so they are well broken in. The DS will be the only one that will require a week or 2 of break in (sigh). I will just ... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Work schedule, and wife's b-day take precedence. So busy. I promise I'll call CTsooner!All are great DAC's. I'm sure I'd be happy with any of them. It's just finding the right synergy for my system and my tastes. Steve, thanks for the offer, but I... | |
| PS Audio Direct Stream Yes. I believe it retails for $8K-Aeris retail is $9600-Directstream is $6k-OverDrive SE is about $8K- with options +/-so even if I determine that its as good but just doesn't have perfect synergy with my system, its still a feather in the DS cap ... | |

| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Steve said the OverDrive SE essentially has an Off-Ramp 5 inside it. So an external OR5 would be redundant. I can't wait to get them all in! | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Understood. I already decided that if I end up choosing anything other then the OverDrive SE (and I have high hopes for that particular unit because it is actually designed and built for exactly what I need, computer audio files), then I owe it to... | |
| Merrill VERITAS monoblock amplifiers First off, the Ultra SS footers are an absolute must! They significantly improve an already SOTA amplifier!Second, I'm in enough time now to have reconsidered, and the Veritas mono blocks are still in my system and will stay there long term. I upg... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Bought the Big6 pre-owned. It has about 600-800 hours on it from what I understand. Currently listening to the stock tubes, but I got some to roll into as well. It's stunning in its stock form, so I can't wait to hear what it can do with other tub... | |
