Home Digital Drive

Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

Using my M51 as a digital preamp, I've encountered the best most transparent and enjoyable sound of any system I have ever owned. I think so much of what people expect from a DAC is that they make terrible recordings sound good. When fed a great signal, the NAD is among the best DACs on the market with a state of the art noise floor and very good time domain behavior. I use HQPlayer and Purevinyl in front of the M51 with great success. One of the most mind-blowing things I've ever played is a mono 1955 Billie Holiday Torching LP owned by my father. My wife exclaimed OMG I've never heard anything like that before! Not strident, not flat not bad. Warm, elegant and enormously space-filling. The problem usually isn't the DAC. It's the content, room and listener.
