Mark - I know that we have joked offline regarding what is going on on the forums and the the agendas behind certain opinions that are beeing posted, but this time I really ment what I said, and such comparo really took place today
A fellow audiophile from another forum had compared the CH precision combo to the Vivaldi stack today. He have been using the CH combo for the past couple of days and got the dCS yesterday for comparision from another dealer.
According to him - there simply no comparision between the two. The dCS blew the CH away. The dCS was more dynamic, had more resolution, but at the same time - was much smoother and analog sounding.
The other DAC he tried was Metronome C8 fed by Metronome CDP (and CH precision transport).
The dCS was a clear winner.
I'm a CH Precision owner. When the opportunity to listen to the dCS Vivaldi came, I was a bit worried it may better the CH Precision. I listened to the dCS with a couple of my friends who are familiar with my CH Precision and we unanimously agreed that the CH was better.
System used?
And CH precision discussion which you just luckily spotted in ACCUPHASE thread, made you register and post your first post. Riiiiight.
Okay....so the CH D1 plays SACD.....COOL...I will add it to the audition list.....I will ONLY consider a digital front end as long as it plays SACDs....
Cheers,
Very interesting link.
I spoke right now with the developer. They have very interesting pre/power amps. I hope I can hear this amps soon.
