Re: Opera Audio Consonance Droplet 5.0 CD Player/Recorder

I must agree with Bazza, as I have had my unit for only one week now, but am absolutely stunned at the beautiful sound that has been coming from my Gallo Ref IIIs via the Droplet, direct to a pair of Channel Islands Audio D-100 Class D amps. I am using the single-ended outputs and cotrolling volume via the Droplet's remote.

The first thing that struck me was the terrific portrayal of harmonic structure and tone. Second was the amazingly deep and articulate bass. Even after only about 120 hours, the player is so balanced ... to me, even now, it offers all the audiophile goodies - soundstaging, extension, detail and dynamics, all mated with a beautifully musical portrayal.

I will try to go a bit deeper after another week ... and will, early next week, be trying the combo with a Sonic Euphoria PLC

I also noted that a Droplet is in the queue at 6 Moons for an upcoming review.
