I'm thankful v3 is still working despite no support since 9/2023. Playing from my ACS10 HD is just the same as always. Playing from Tidal some items aren't updating but I'm not sure which party is the blame.

I'm surprised no one has talked about a new Conductor version. I recently learned it was available. It must not be having a good roll out the rating is only 2.9 so you might want to wait for awhile before trying it. I fired off an email to see if this version will be accessible with Voice...

For fun here's a chat with Chat; i found the 5805 preferrable to listen to. it seemed to be more lively or have more character That actually makes a lot of sense—and you’re definitely not alone in hearing it that way. If we put the marketing hierarchy aside and just talk about why the 5805...

I think you ended up with the best option. I heard the 585 it is decent there was just something about the 5805 that makes it special. I was more enthused hearing the 5805. I feel it has voicing similar to the 500 series. In my opinion I'd rather listen to the 5805 than the 5000 separates...

It worries me when the government, especially military uses AI, I have to wonder if they have a better version than what the public has access to. The way AI makes mistakes we catch it gives pause for thought as they want to give it so much responsibility.

This thread got me to using Chat GPT again, I use the website without signing in. It's interesting to talk audio with it, asking about brands and comparing. Once it picks up on what your tastes or preferences are it can be enlightening. As an example, one conversation was why am I not into...

I've heard the 5805 many times and I agree it's very good. Much is system synergy I just haven't been that enthused about the 5000 separates. Maybe I expect too much for a $20k amp/preamp combo. Yamaha has a $20k combo that is great, IMO How the 5805 can be so good and the separates not...

I heard Wadex once in a system with CH Precision. I respect CHP but not exactly my cup of tea so I didn't get a feel for the DAC. I have yet to hear a system with DCS I would want to listen to for any time. I am a fan of MSB, I always love hearing them. I would like to hear something closer...

You could take the digital out of the TV to your Rotel unless they are in different areas. The item you bought has to convert digital to analog so the better the converter the better your sound will be.

I've also heard the #52 and #53's. I have a friend with these and uses Salon 2's. I still feel I prefer the character of the 500 series but can't be positive since I haven't heard them in my system. Two digit models tend to be ML reference level stuff. Now that the new 631 monoblocks are...

I don't have experience with the very vintage Mark Levinson, I've heard the 326s preamp and even auditioned one, the 432 amps and other various more recent components. I find the 500 series to sound very good. I find it a departure from the earlier generations I've heard and prefer the 500...

In my experience transports have always made a difference on sound quality. I say "usually" because someone I trust to know and hear any difference had an older Levinson DAC with a re-clocker in the input stage and he says transports didn't make a difference for him with that DAC. I attribute...

I don't have anything on my list. I'm happy with the synergy I have now and afraid to change anything, not looking to change anything. With that being said if Santa left a Solution 525 under the tree I'd take it for a listen. Maybe next year I could hit him up for a matching amp.

If memory serves the Sanders are new as well. Break in is real give the system some time, may or may not smooth out some change should be noticed though. Congrats

I want to be a schill, let me know what you got :)
