Hi Mr. Thorsten !
thanks a lot again for the very precious advice.
I hope one is the one in the picture ... i bought it now.
I will put it in my reference cds group.
Soundstage is a very excting feature of a system indeed.
I think i have also understood your position on the fierce debate multibit vs. delta-sigma dac chips very populare nowadays by these your words:
" .... Try listening to some recordings Keith Johnson has done for Reference Recordings, on a good system (say non-oversampling Multibit DAC ... "
Unfortunately it seems that manufacturers have completely stopped the production of multibit dac chips in favour of delta-sigma ... a real pity i guess.
Thanks a lot again.
Kind regards,
bg

Hi,
Yes, it is the one in the pic. It is great music and a great recording, these two often do not get hand in hand.
I did not quite nail my colours.
I personally value "a spacious sound", but I am not a total a soundstage freak either. Flat as a pancake will not do, but cavernous virtual rooms are not needed for me to enjoy music, but I do not mind them.
The system I described delivered this, on the right LP's or CD's. I am not sure how many others do.
But the point, cavernous soundstaging is not impossible on CD, but many factors conspire against it, few that are down to the format itself.
I suggest you read my (still dumbed down) sidebar to an interview, to illustrate my take on DS and MB.
Ciao T
At 20 bits, you are on the verge of dynamic range covering fly-farts-at-20-feet to untolerable pain. Really, what more could we need?
Thanks a lot again !
I will read your interview very carefully.
I think i have more ears than brain in the sense that i am quite slow to understand but i guess i can spot good sound when i listen to it.
I have followed a little the discussion about multibit vs. delta-sigma without understanding much. But i see many looking for vintage multibit dac chip based converters.
I understand industry has stopped producing them.
And many say it is a really bad thing for audio. There are no hopes to see multibit dacs again.
But i have to read your interview first.
Thank you very much indeed.
Kindest regards.
Kind regards,
