B.M.C PureDAC Review

March 3, 2015 Comments Off on B.M.C PureDAC Review

” that’s going some for any 16/44 converter, so horrible is this digital disc; Joe Boyd’s puritanical production (think the opposite of Duran Duran’s lavish soundscapes) full of ringing Rickenbackers isn’t easy to get right. But the song bounces along; tonal balance is even and the piercing guitar work doesn’t grate as much as feared.”

” The Lyr 2, like all Schiit products, is made in California, and the warranty runs 5 years, although the tubes’ warranty is 3 months. Even so, Schiit claims the tubes should deliver up to 5,000 hours of play time; and when they wear out replacement tubes are inexpensive.”

Cavalli Audio Liquid Crimson Review

“The 2.5watts of pure class-A opens them up and let’s the deep bass and detail shine through. Satriani is one of the best guitar players in the world. His talent on this track is amazing. He takes a rock song and turns it into a guitar clinic. Listening through the Crimson, I can enjoy each carefully crafted note and chord. His bends and slides bring all their energy to me via the Crimson. Before I knew it I had listened to the entire album. ”

“Instead what I heard were a very organic and real sounding vocals (both male and female) that were able to really pull me into the music and keep engaged. Amplifiers like the Stax SRM-727II or SRM-007t had a bit of a haze in this area and somewhat of a mid-range withdrawal that over time seemed to put a wedge between me and the music. Thankfully both Cavalli amps don’t suffer from this and offer a portrayal of the music that just keeps you coming back for more. –

VIOLECTRIC V281 REVIEW

http://goo.gl/3X6kGc Read Here

“If you’re looking for a top class solid state amplifier that offers dual Single Ended headphone outs and one 4 pin XLR Balanced out, this could be just the amp for you. But there’s more: there’s an optional remote control and the V281 can serve as a pre-amp too. It maybe isn’t the most elegant looking piece of hardware like the V200 was, but once you’ve listened to the superb balanced out, you’ll be hooked. I’m even changing my non balanced headphones to balanced ones.”

VIOLECTRIC HPA V281 BALANCED HEADPHONE AMP + DAC $1000 Review

” I have found that the HD800 paired with the Nordost Heimdall balanced cable to be incredibly revealing. The V281 used at the factory default gain setting was extremely neutral as there was no tipped presence in either the midrange or treble. The V281 actually has a similar sound signature to the V200. The character of the amplifier was smooth and the background was silent. There was definitely no unwanted noise or grunge coming from the V281.”
