” The C 510 has, of course, 192/24 DACs but can accept no analog inputs at all. There is an HDMI output but it is labeled for video only. The analog outputs (for connection to your amp) is powered by a Class A amplifier,”

” The P5 is really very neutral, that’s the first thing that I noticed. It honestly makes the Roksan sound a bit coloured and warm for my liking and this is something I hadn’t noticed about the Roksan previously.”

“With the SP20, Audio Research Corporation strides surefootedly back into the market of high-end preamplifiers. While not at the rarefied level occupied by ARC’s Reference components, it’s a big step up from the SP16 and SP17, and enters the territory occupied by ARC’s best non-Reference phono and line stages.”

“I ran my well-used set of Sennheiser HD650 ‘phones into the DAC-V1 with my Marantz SA8260 SACD player again connected to one of the optical inputs. It didn’t take long for me to grasp just how superb this headphone stage is – the clarity and detail levels are as good as anything I’ve ever heard from a dedicated headamp, while dynamics are delivered with an authority that needs to be heard. Interestingly enough, the sound quality from the DAC-V1’s headphone stage is much more like the traditional Naim sound I’m used to – slightly lean but oh so fast.”

I got similar results with the Tallis Scholars’ recording of Allegri’s Miserere (24/96 FLAC, Gimell): The SP20 made it easy to hear the instrumental details in this information-rich recording, as well as the precise positions of singers across the soundstage.”

“However, now that I have more listening time under my belt, I won’t call the Momentum preamp’s sound “pretty much nothing.” Because what I heard when I walked into that AXPONA room was a familiar sound. When we think we’re hearing “nothing” or “neutrality,” we’re kidding ourselves.”

“Harmonic depth, which tells the listener about tone and emotion, is largely absent. This is consistent with low quality MP3-type low bit rate/low resolution sound. I thought of a beautiful woman with an IQ of room temperature.”
