OldmkVI as in Selmer I presume, so another musician?
I'm presently using an ES9023 DAC which doesn't do DSD. However, I have a Soekris I need to install, and that should do DSD. Maybe that will change things. Don't know anything about DSD yet.

Had another listen this morning. Once again struck by how smooth the vocals are in HQP. They're less euphonic in A+, but more defined. And that's it really - definition. A+ is more focussed. Listened again to some Janacek opera. Voices probably better in HQP but the orchestral instruments are less in focus - going towards a bit mushy. Much easier to pick out the timbres of flute versus oboe versus clarinet in Audirvana. They're a bit of a blend in HQP. It's disconcerting. So for all its sweetness, the harder but more defined focus of Audirvana is still the one I want to listen to. It just gets more details in the arrangement right, so the music makes more sense overall. Audirvana was always strong in instrumental timbre - that's why I originally preferred it to Pure Music and Amarra.
OK, 'using' is not exactly what I'm doing, but at least it's loaded on my headless Mac Mini with the hope of someday figuring out how to get it to play nice with my 'library' which is in iTunes and also how to get it to play nice with TIDAL and QOBUZ.
Hopefully soon.
the Direct Mode being disabled on AV+2.6.1/Mac Sierra.
I also use Decible, along w/MC21, HQ, and Korg Audiogate/DS Dac 100.
They all have their uses...
Well, I compared MC 21 , AV+, ( no Direct Mode) and HQ.
Still prefer HQ.
Such is Life.
Selmer?
I thought it was The Cartier Edition?
Selmer Mark VI. Started in 1954 or 5, ended in the 70's ( I think) when they came out with the MK VII.
So they are ALL old , at this point!
THEM, not me...
until the early 60's.
For your Entry-Level playing pleasure.
I used a Bundy Tenor a few times early in my early Classical Tenor career!
The ones I see on ebay are all plastic or have plastic bell and barrel and as I see on the internet the Selmer student instruments with the Bundy name sold in the mid to late 50's were mostly resinite but they did make the Bundy in wood as well.
My teacher was a stickler for tone and would never have allowed a plastic clarinet or a Rico reed to enter his studio!
