Interesting.
I didn't know that an FPGA could also output analog signal.

Thanks! So, do I understand correctly that a sigma-delta dac can deal with 1 bit (high frequency) and multi bit encoding (low frequency)?
I always thought these are too different to be able to do in...

Thanks Mike

I fully agree... the Esoteric is fabulous on SACD. Listened to it since it was TEAC 😀

A friend of mine switched to APL after many years and I must admit that it is also fantastic....

Hi, not being an expert at DAC designs, I have a question.
As usually DACs are either of the PCM type or the DSD type, I was wondering what the fundamental design of the DAC is in Esoteric's Master...

After 1 year of tremendous enjoyment with my new gear, I have been so lucky to audition a Gryphon Antileon EVO. Being dazzled by the sheer control through unlimited power and resulting vividness and...

This Sly & Robbie album just sounds so incredibly real. You're actually there.
Amazing! Try it.

The last 2 evenings I hooked up, warmed up and listened to the Zanden 3100.
I have to say that I am impressed, very impressed.

The spaciousness, large soundscape with such incredible realism...

Very nice! I am seriously curious to know what that sounds like or what your experiences are.

Have fun!

Bienvenido, Germán!

An excellent choice... the K-03XD! :rolleyes:

Hi,

I wanted to share that after some patience, I have received my new gear this Friday and have been setting it all up and managed to listen and warm up everything. :yahoo1:

I've not connected...

I really identify with that description!
Now, that doesn't mean your preamp can attenuate (volume knob) to any level or the power amp's reserves are not important.

But indeed, my personal...

Tonight it was all streaming:
- Baba Blues - Glimmer of Gold (available on Tidal only)
- Bjørn Berge - Mad Fingers Ball (Qobuz)
- Carla Morrison - Amor Supremo (Qobuz)

All great sounding...

I haven't heard any of the M series yet.
At audio shows here in Netherlands they only present A or S series. I believe not even at the last Highend Munich show.
Probably due to costs involved.

SACD of Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon 2003
SACD of Dire Straits Communique MoFi
Stream Qobuz of Joe Chambers Dance Kobina

I've heard the Q1, Q3, Q5, Q7 mkII, S3, some from A series and apart from the Q7, I'd choose the Q3 any day.
Whence I bought them :D

Some mention Q3 difficult to drive or having a vail, but for...

I am excited to share that I have decided to swap my Soulution 330 for separate pre and power amps.
Since I have the Esoteric K03-XD and found its DAC to be of a different league over the one in...

I also agree that equipment preferences and describing quality of sound depends on your method of listening or experiencing music, including genres. I guess everyone, also audiophiles, do this...

Sorry, I didn't mean to say it's representative of Atmasphere.
Just a personal comparison with a high-end amp that has non-traditional (class AB, A or tubes) amplification.

I've listened to TAD M600s quite a few times. I believe it is ClassD, although there are many doubts out there, 90kg each mono amps!
They do sound amazing in control, but just that tidbit "cold" or...

If I may liven up this thread, then I would like to add that recently I have been most impressed, by far, over anything I have heard in my long history of audio, not counting what I hear at fairs of...

Thanks brodricj. Certainly enjoying!
I was just wondering since its one of the "advertized" features of the Grimm MU1.
Have a nice weekend.

Thanks guys,

I also heard about Magico saying that Magico's best being coupled to the floor.
I had my doubts created for a couple of reasons.
One is that Magico themselves sell Apods or Mpods...

Nice read. I was always curious about these.

I have Magico Q3s weighing about 120kg a piece so I wonder how on earth I could get them on there without breaking myself or scratching / damaging the...

I have a question to those owning a K-03XD.

Which clock is master when you use SPDIF RCA input on the K-03XD?
I've connected my Grimm MU1 this way and I thought that I read somewhere that this...

BtW, I just saw on the Esoteric offical site that the C1X solo is soon available in black too.
