Cary Audio DAC-200ts $3995 Review

August 2, 2015 Comments Off on Cary Audio DAC-200ts $3995 Review

“I ran in the review unit for a few months on and off before sitting down to enjoy listening for many more weeks thereafter. I used the DAC-200ts during my review of the Bel Canto REFStream and even gave it some miles with the Auralic Aries as part of its break-in process. Throughout all of this time, yea I even aurally peaked for pleasure during those first few weeks, the Cary DAC delivered the musical goods. Its sound is big, solid, well-defined, rich, and musically engaging. It is fuller sounding than the recently reviewed NAD C 510 (see review), and even out body slams the Auralic Vega.”

“Now consider for a moment those other aspects of its design that set the Cabasse system apart: its compact and stylish design, low-impact domestic presence and versatility when it comes to multichannel or multi-room configurations. Don’t forget (or underestimate the importance of) the fact that the basic thinking and format are available at a range of different price levels — all of which share the essential elegance, versatility and unobtrusive domestic presence of the Baltic and Santorin”

” Quite recently I enjoyed a lot reviewing relatively inexpensive, amazingly dynamic shelf-speakers by Canadian Bryston. I didn’t think then that so soon after I would have chance to listen to another, even smaller speakers, offering even more impressive performance. In this case it is not about dynamics and fun that make performance so enjoyable, but, as one would expect from much more expensive speakers, about sophistication and coherence of the presentation.”

ROWLAND CONTINUUM S2 INTEGRATED AMP $9500 REVIEW

“Perhaps the most striking statement the Continuum S2 makes pertains to the overall musicality of Class D amplifiers. Just a few years ago, the argument asserted in these very pages was that Class D wasn’t ready for prime time—the primary gripe being that it lacked extension, air, and transparency on top. True enough then, but that argument has been firmly laid to rest by a component like the Continuum S2. ”

CUSTOM CABLE FEATURE PART 1: LABKABLE MASTER SERIES TAKUMI REVIEW

“The Takumi cable is based on the principal and balance, removing imperfections and using the highest grade materials. Featuring a mix of gold-silver, silver-alloy and copper the company the cable is the subjected to a burnin process called HQT 100 which is said to greatly reduce the time to burn the cable from new (again subjective). Leading out from the jack point (of which I chose a chrome 3.5mm Oyaide unit) there is a stunning flat Octo braided cable”

” I was able to appreciate the nuances of each instrument more easily than I’m accustomed to. Plucks of each string of Glenn Frey’s acoustic guitar were conveyed with truthful singularity, possessing precise leading-edge definition without sounding analytical. Even more alluring was the tightrope the 760A consistently walked between offering snappy transients and focused images while retaining the natural golden hue of the acoustic’s strings.”

Ayre Acoustics QB-9DSD Digital-to-Analog Converter Review

“I listened to an old standby: The title track of Norah Jones’s Come Away With Me (24-bit/192kHz FLAC, Blue Note). Like that cognitively dissonant piano, Jones’s voice sounded spookily clean and natural. Had she been actually standing there, singing right into my ear, I’m not sure I’d have heard any more detail or air or depth. But for the absence of her breath tickling my ear hairs, I could have sworn she was right next to me”
