Romy Hi sorry to have wandered off topic, I am listening at the moment to an MSB Platinum Dac III, hoiping to get the lavry back for comparison, I believe the MSB is multi bit based on a ladder resistor , with 4 24 bit DAc modules,tremendous re...

I borrowed a dcs 'Scarlatti' for the weekend and compared it to a Lavry 924 and the MSB Platinum, the DCS had the highest resolution of all three, not by a huge amount mind , particularly nice treble I thought, this was just solely with CD....

Hi Antonio, I just realized I glanced over that thread assuming its relationship to the 6 levels of benefits. Its quite interesting, but I do not know where I fall in that spectrum (no, it can't be discrete stages as its far to "big" to really ...

Paul SI don't have vinyl playback at the moment. My source is an MSB Platinum Data IV transport with transport power base, fed into a Metrum Hex dac. The amp is an Ars Sonum Filharmonia. So there isn't much of a power drain. Also: cabling is...

Dima for instance (and he has quite high expertise in the subject) claims that there no true 24bit converters available anyhow. BTW, with all advances of HDCD, that I fully appreciate, it makes send only on 16 bit. At 20...
