” The Quad had no problem in resolution with Hozier’s guitar always being well focused and providing the typical electroacoustic timbre. At the same time the PA-One managed to hide some of the nastier passages, taking away the edges from the recording but leaving all the “air” intact. For comparison reasons I used the similarly priced Burson Conductor (headphone amplifier and 24-bit/192kHz DAC) in the latest iteration with the CMedia receiver connected with a second identical USB cable to my coptuer.

” Having overcomed these difficulties we were able to compare the MHA-100 with our reference. From the beginning the McIntosh seemed slightly less detailed than the TOBBY especially in the upper extremes. On the other hand, the MHA-100 has expressed a greater roundness at lower frequencies than the Firestone, however expressing quite pleasant results,”

“First, the Liquid Gold does not sound like a solid state amplifier. Or a tube amplifier, for that matter. That is, there isn’t a ready-to-hand classifier to anchor my notes around”

“The Prime’s measured volume didn’t change when the wall-wart supply was replaced with the Prime Power Supply ($1250), but it sounded as if it had. George Vakhnadze’s piano in the Rachmaninoff concerto had a touch more body, a tad more authority”

” The soundstage presentation of the HA-1 was also first-rate. Width was outstanding, with the soundstage extending well outside the head from side to side. The soundstage is also a little out in front (and good thing), and had good dept”

“It doesn’t happen often that first products of their kind even when coming from an experienced manufacturer are really good. Designers learn from their mistakes so usually there is a first product which might be good but the next one is often a better one. OPPO is one of few exceptions from this unwritten rule, simply because they use beta-testers which allows them to release products that are finished and refined.”

” It isn’t all roses though, as there’s a down-side to this power monster of a headphone amp section when employed as monoblocks. There is no locking mechanism to keep the volume controls synched. I k”

“I also tried the Platinum DSD’s coaxial input using the redoubtable Naim NDS network streamer as a source, a component that only has digital output on BNC.”

” On the DAC it has 32bit 384kHz DSD DAC. So what’s that all about? Well they are both formats of music, 32/384 is high resolution PCM, the highest know sampling rate for files to actually exist in, although very few do and while I have heard a few, I don’t own any of them. DSD is a bit more mainstream and I love it.”

“No matter where you fall on the economic scale, chances are, you have to balance performance with cost — and if you don’t have to (because you’re rich like Mitt Romney), chances are quite good that you will anyway, which also happens to be one of the reasons you no longer have to.
