Title: Great Audio Experience
Post by: boleary on June 18, 2012, 01:51:30 pm
Yesterday I had the good fortune of plugging my new computer build and NOS1-USB into a couple of Audio Research 250 watt  reference monoblocks that powerd Vandersteen Model7's. For me the good news is that my less than ten thousand dollar system sounds damn good compared to one costing 200 times more. Don't get me wrong, the system I heard yesterday was incredible, close to walking into a concert hall. I'm just not sure that what I heard was "200 times" better than my system.

The best part of all was Peter's DAC and software. Let me just say that, to my ears, they more than stood their ground against Ammara and an EMM Labs SACD Player/DAC. The owner of the system was very impressed with the NOS 1.

Thanks Peter.

From my experience I can confirm that the NOS1 does sound much better in my system than my $24.000 Emm Labs CDSD SE/DCC2 SE and that is why I sold the latter. And the EMM Labs it is considered among the best cd players in the world. Nothing against EMM Labs, but thatīs the way it is.

Best regards,
Juan

You sold it after all Juan ? And I thought you wanted to keep it for "moral" reasons ??
(no need to answer upon this :))

But it is nice to see that people sometimes can earn money by buying something new.
