another DAC shootout
« on: March 01, 2006, 02:11:16 PM »
in the next couple-a-months, i'm planning to orgainize another listening session in New England.  Likely at Carls.
 :P
But any way, i'm hoping to have a good compliment of gear, several amps, preamps and most of all, DACs.  We'll have Carls Benchmark, Probably Jason w/his Grace901 will make it.  I'll likely pick up a Lite DAC 60, and maybe someone else can come through w/a Belcanto offering?  Or anything else out there that we can come up with.  We'll also have several good transports / stock DVD-A decks, and perhaps we can even get a wireless or some other PC based audio a go as well. 
Just to plant a bug in your ear, for those of you within comuting distance.

Scott - if you want to come up to Boston first, we could car pool the rest of the way :)
I know it'd still be a long trip, but at least you wouldn't have to do all the driving...

Maybe I'll be back in New England if this doesn't go down until summer. I can cover the computing audio and will have a DAC again by that time.

I know you like, tape for people's approval and stuff, and wave your tapes around like they're your dick...  but even you can't actually think section tapes from philips sound good.

Too funny! +T

Man, it's bad that I'm already trying to reintegrate myself to New England when I still have another term to go after this one finishes in two weeks.

I'd tote a Benchmark DAC-1 from the shop to a listening party in NY/NJ area.
If someone's got a Grace or Bel Canto or something cool to ABx.

I'll be skipping the hot tub, I prune easily.    ;D
