    Latest Newsletter from The Lotus Group

    Joe, Nice selection of goodies you've got there. I so wish I lived closer to your location. I now understand why the SW1X DAC III BAL and DAC III SPL are so special. I purchased a barely used DAC III BAL/SPL on Agon last week. It is simply amazing in my system. If I knew how to post a photo...

    SW1X DACs: A Different Take on Digital

    Joe, I don't recall if it was on AC, Agon, or another site. As I have time, I will find it and post a link to it. Here's one on Agon: https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/sw1x-dacs There's an older post lurking somewhere else. I'll keep searching. Found it...

    SW1X DACs: A Different Take on Digital

    I just stumbled upon this thread this morning, and thought I'd add a little understanding concerning one of the price increases at SW1X Audio. I own what I and some of the DAC III owners call the DAC III+ model. I bought my DAC III directly from Slawa before Joe began carrying SW1X products...

    Taipei International Audio & Art Show 12/17 - 12/20

    First room I entered was the VAC Room. Signature 200iq mono-blocks, COS D1- DAC, Wilson-Benesch Discovery II speakers. The room was untreated. The music was 'ever so slightly' bright. Considering the price tags on the gear, the room was not inspiring. 2nd room: Soul Note Audio mono-block SS...

    Taipei International Audio & Art Show 12/17 - 12/20

    I found my <somewhat hastily> written comments on gear I found in the various rooms. I'll post a list of the gear and commentary later today or tomorrow.

    Taipei International Audio & Art Show 12/17 - 12/20

    Thank you for asking. I had a lot of fun listening to outrageously expensive speakers; chatting with various vendors, and seeing some old friends.

    My thoughts on SW1X DAC II Special with USB

    That's a shame. However, I can certainly understand F's wanting to get his hands on his DAC. You really shouldn't tell me the DAC III Balanced + is that good. The seed that the III Balanced is yet another level better than my DAC III+ had already been planted in my imagination. Your telling me...

    My thoughts on SW1X DAC II Special with USB

    If you are able to compare the two slightly different DACs (different transformers?) side-by-side, I'd be interested in your impressions. I've had my DAC III+ for about 3 months and love it. Even so, I can only wonder how the DAC III Balanced must sound.

    Taipei International Audio & Art Show 12/17 - 12/20

    Hello. The Taipei International Audio & Art Show begins in just 10 days. I am in Taiwan now, and I will attend the show on Saturday, the 18th. I'm not a journalist, a v-blogger, or even a very good reporter of events such as this, but I'm happy to share photos and highlights of any rooms and...

    SW1X DAC III Special Listening Test (Video)

    My upgraded DAC III STD is sitting in a warehouse in England getting ready to fly back to me. I hope to have it back in my system by Friday. I can only dream of the IV or V level, but I do hope to someday listen to a IV. Michael

    Philip's Demo Playlists on Qobuz & Tidal.

    For some reason, Philip's Demo IX will not open. I keep getting an "Oops!" message. Happily listening to Demo V right now. :)

    My thoughts on SW1X DAC II Special with USB

    Thank you for the nice write up. I can appreciate how you described your reactions to listening to familiar songs with this new DAC. I've had Slawa's DAC III STD for about two years now, and love it. My model is in Slawa's hands right now because I chose to upgrade to DHT, better quality caps...
