Alan, it probably won’t tell you much as it was particular for his setup with 8 subs (!!), four towering bass horns, 2 x 231’s and 2 x additional subs at the rear for his room and HIS type of music (classical). For one thing, we had to start with...

You do have to often wonder how people listen…especially at shows. That one guy who liked the Aries Cerat also liked the Linn. I’ve heard from numerous people these were the two worst sounding rooms (with the third being the new Vivid’s). Shows...

Yes. Seems like the Wilson/CH room didn’t fair well either. Frankly, that’s a pairing I just don’t see. I mean, on paper it should make a lot of sense: speaker with a lot of lower mid bass energy and a slightly lean in the bass set of...

Wow! Looks awesome Sean. Big congrats! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Would love to! But this trip is about supporting my daughter. I can sneak away a few hours during the day, but that’s about it. I’ll come back and visit for a special trip to see you. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

It’s from Avantgarde. When I had mine all those years, I took the time to really learn the software. Other than the folks in Germany, I’m not sure of anyone else state side who knows it as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Me too. As a sax player myself, his technique and skill on the live studio album, “Straight To The Heart” is second to none. A benchmark. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Gotcha. We clock the aurender off the MSB DAC. You could do a N-01XD SE with Aurender and Aurender clock. Both benefit. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Some of mine start with 240xxxx and they were not built in 2024. And whilst it is a 240 volt model I also have others that are 200xxxx that are 240 volt model but definitely not built in 2020.

Considering SE upgrade was announced for D1X/P1X seven months ago, and it still hasn't been rolled out to customers yet, it could be a while until K series VUK is available.

Yes, that’s why I was shocked by the Max. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Didn’t pay attention. The version won’t matter because the Tidal MAX beats the QoBuz by a lot. I have both. This Tidal MAX version is wow. Tidal has upped their game. They had to. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Tidal Max. Just make sure it’s the Tidal Max (yellow logo). Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

They used to, but not any more. I have a US shipping address to bypass that problem.

Yes, correct.

Music Direct tranships Shunyata product to Australia in clear violation of their dealer agreement? Interesting. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

So what do I do. Buy a new Theta PC. Or wait for an open box Alpha v2 PC on Music Direct?

No K-05XD SE yet. Only K-01XD SE and K-03XD SE have been announced.

K-01XD and K-03XD will be discontinued soon, to be replaced by SE model. I don't know if VUK will be released for existing owners.

The MC10 will work brilliantly with the N20 and say an Esoteric K-01XD SE. Then both the Esoteric and N20 clock off the same clock Another option is take the DAC and clock funds and put it into an MSB DAC which have clock sync options so you...

It will be interesting to see if MSB re-sell traded units, and if so, how much markup they put on them. As a buyer, $57K for a Select II in good condition is an OK deal. But original Select II owners probably not happy if there's a flood of cheap...

Didn’t even know there was such a neighborhood. Haven’t heard the Eversolo. Heard the name though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Depends on budget. The Aurender A15 and Lumin T3 are both excellent. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I guess the priority is to get the flurry of new SE units out to customers and then take care of the previous model SE upgrades. Seems to be happening that way here also.

Yes, that’s the plan. Right now the focus is getting the new SE’s out the door. Then I think they will formulate the upgrade program. But the plan is for it to be done in-house in the USA. Esoteric sure is busy! SE models and tone arm...

I want to upgrade my D1X to SE but it can't be done locally here yet. I wonder if SE upgrades (of the Grandioso) can be done in the US?

That’s just crazy. So sad. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Replaces select 2 Premier plus DD closes the gap. That’s the thinking. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Exactly. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Same modules. Same ability to swap modules. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

My pleasure! You and your lovely wife are so wonderful. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Did you read the trade up program posted above? It doesn’t apply to the Cascade. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Trade in, Trade up....if the Cascade is 50% cheaper than the current model, so it might be when you trade in at 90% of MSRP that they will be paying you?

I guess they won't be selling anything between now and then.

Trade In, Trade Up your MSB products There’s a little nugget of info in this. Read carefully and you’ll see it. Coming next year…. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I know this is hard to comprehend, but it’s new tech and far exceeds the Select II with the digital director today. Price? Less expensive by nearly 50% of that previous combo. $95k MSRP. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Mines on order! Can’t wait! MSB kept their current tech for nearly 10 years! An eternity of great sound especially for digital. Now they turn the page. Very exciting to read this announcement today. Sent from my iPhone using...
