TAD D1000-TX, DA1000-TX

[kimurastanley]

This is a new product released in October from TAD

Found an interesting video from Japan where comparison is done with the previous model D1000 mk2 and DA1000 mk2.

And the latest video is comparison with Esoteric Grandioso K1X

I traded in my D1000mk2 and now have a DA1000-TX on loan from my dealer until my own black DA1000 arrives (the black ones are built on order).
Run it with Innuos Statement server, TAD M2500 and TAD CE-1 really enjoying the sound it produces

Is there any discernible difference between the old and new model?

To my ears there are, better detail seperation and bit larger soundstage. This will for shure be system dependant but I got a really good deal on the trade in so not much to think about and I only use USB and most of the work TAD have done is on the USB input.

Thanks. The price difference between D1000TX and DA1000TX at where I am is $3k. I think worth getting the D1000TX for additional 3k

I also heard that TAD will refresh D600 soon

I dont use the CD/SACD player so no need for me to get a D1000TX. I just bought a D1000mk2 over the DA1000 a few years ago as it was available in black but today you can get both models in both silver or black so it was a easy choice now and my dealer had a DA1000 that I could borrow until my own arrives in a couple of months.

Some photos would be nice

My phone takes really bad pictures when the light is bad but here's a picture of my rack. As I wrote the silver DA1000 will be replaced by a black one in the spring.

Bite the bullet and got a D1000TX. Will have it in hand tomorrow.
I believe in the synergy or full TAD setup and slowly going towards that.

I have listened to many different systems at my dealer and also different electronics in my system driving TAD speakers but have most of the time thought that TAD driving TAD sounds the best

D1000TX is in the house. Running in but already sounds good brand new.

Quick question about D1000-mk2. It's doing a double duty in my system as pre-amp as well. Do you think adding C2000 will bring further sonic refinement?

 

[octaviars]

Do you think adding C2000 will bring further sonic refinement

I tried both C2000 and C600 with my D1000mk2, to my ears the C2000 did not add much the C600 was another thing. I decided to upgrade my D1000mk2 to the new DA1000TX instead that made more sense in my system with no other sources than my streamer.

TAD D1000TX/DA1000TX are Roon tested now
