Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD

MBL 111F or 101E ????
@peppapig "in your post you said even 126 sounds so close to the 101e mk2, can you give a bit more details? Like which aspects sounds similar? what about the soundstage, 126 as wide as 101e? And what about the tonal? As real as 101e?"What I was tr... 
MBL 111F or 101E ????
@peppapigMBL are wonderful speakers. And not as hard to drive as may be thought. Go see this thread and read the comments by Atmasphere. Also, in that thread I talk about the MBL models I've heard and you can get some ideas there. Prof also provid...

Luxman L-509X
@dguitarnut "the fact that it has bass, mid and treble tone controls really would help out tailoring problem rooms" I am lost on this comment since my brochure shows only bass and treble tone controls. Can you explain for me? My dealer has this un...

Gryphon Diablo 300 Unchained
