Probably priceless!!!

I used to support the idea of separated systems consisting classically of a DAC connected to a pre-amp that in turn is connected to a power amp. I've read so many reviews that such a system is...

Maybe Jim Hall's best album?

I am using a DAC from the Italian company AQUA HiFi, the La Voce S2. It's an R2R DAC that I very much like. They now have an upgrade to the S3 version available that I for sure will have installed....

Jimmy Cobb's 'Jazz in the Key of Blue' is not only a fantastic hard bop record with a great crew, but the recording is just about superb.

Great 60's jazz!!! A masterpiece!

Another option, if the volume control of the D2 is good, going straight into an ATC P1 power amp.

Kenny Dorham's live performance at the Café Bohemia. With pianist Bobby Timmons and young guitarist Kenny Burrell. Recorded by Rudy van Gelder. I'm listening to the 24/192 high-res download. A great...

A not so well-known Blue Note record from trombonist Bennie Green. With a great sax played by Gene Ammons.

Groovy John Patton with Grant Green and Ben Dixon (drums). Easy going soul jazz!

A re-work of the famous 'Take Five', but this time 'Take Ten'! Paul Desmond and Jim Hall at their best!

Just saw this at Computer Audiophile: Topping fully balanced DAC with the newest ESS 9038 chip. Might be interesting. Sorry if this DAC is mentioned in a Benchmark DAC3 forum!

Dexter Gordon teaming up with legendary vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson. A good start into the evening!

Remarkable album of a representative of West Coast Jazz and a progressive pianist. A strange pair, neverthe less, a very good album!

This is a superb album, with a fantastic quintet (Lee Morgan, McCoy Tyner, and others). As far as I know, it was Wayne Shorter's Blue Note debut. Good pick!

Good point, thanks for clarifying!

Simple question from a newbie, sorry if that has been asked before. Nord makes monoblocks and stereo versions of the same amp. Which way would you go, monoblocks or stereo, if space isn't the issue?...

Name here is Paul. The user name, a bit strange I admit, relates to my profession: I am a biochemist and TrisHCl is a substance we use a lot in the laboratory :rolleyes:. Just needed something I can...

Ha, at least another Swiss fellow hanging around in the forum 😁! Hop Suisse apparently didn‘t help in the Soccer World Championship 😁.
Hope all is well!

Will do that, I am asking him a lot of questions. Poor Rory must think: not again the guy from Switzerland :D

I guess I'll be ordering the DAC3 L relatively soon, and the HPA4 mid/end August. I am...

Thanks and greetings to everyone for the nice welcome!

Thanks for putting things straight with regards to the DAC3. I understand your point of being able to process DSD up to 256. This is indeed a knockout criterium. I myself am not at all into DSD, so...

Hello All!
