Congratulations Peter, you deserve such a good review but hey! there is also a little homage to all of us : "It's only with the help of an active online forum that many of the hidden options and features derive full meaning. Only humans can assess that quality albeit just on an individual basis. Bringing together numerous interpretations in one forum help us understand music reproduction step by step." Interesting the part that talks about the non-earthed connections. I like the final conclusion: "...to us XXHighEnd is currently the by far best software player extant. In combination with the Phasure NOS1 DAC the sound quality sits lonely at the very top". YES WE ALL AGREE WITH IT!! As a plus the review unveils the "Peters Mystery Feet"...or maybe not totally....mmmm. Btw, I liked to see Concha Buika in the review, she is an amazing Spanish singer with a very personal voice. Yes, Happy New Year to all of you! Juan

Congratulations Peter and Family!!!! A very nice way to begin the new year.
My review of the review: My favorite part was the "downside:" cd's rendered unlistenable. I do wish though they had more thoroughly discussed the sonic attributes of the NOS1, and what their impressions were of the best digital sound ever compared to a high end analogue set up. Guess we'll have to wait for that review. Last April I joined The Philadelphia Area Audio Group and have had the pleasure of hearing some of the best turn tables/amps/speakers made (If one was to judge by price alone.) Let me just say that I always felt they needed to hear an NOS1 in their respective systems!

My review of the review: My favorite part was the "downside:" cd's rendered unlistenable. I do wish though they had more thoroughly discussed the sonic attributes of the NOS1, and what their impressions were of the best digital sound ever compared to a high end analogue set up. Guess we'll have to wait for that review. Hi there Brian, Do you realize that there has been exactly ONE attempt to write down the sonic qualities of the NOS1-USB ? It was Praphan's. But still more or less half-way because it was a comparison with the Alpha DAC. Maybe you have an attempt ? hahaha I have said it before, I myself am unable to give this description. This was not so with the USB predecessor; I could describe it, everybody could and everybody did (easy to check). It seems a strange (and new) phenomenon that we are able to shout how good it is, but are not able to describe where and how. I think I once used the analogy that we wouldn't be able to describe how a violin sounds just the same. Not the playing of it, not the brand, but just how it sounds. What we have at hand here seems to be similar; The review talks about "closest to live" and I think that you, others and me indeed are able to describe it like that or even did. But there it stops. It should be something about our brains being able to think/talk about relativeness to inherent anomalies. Something like "bass is firm" while skipping that it colors. "Highs are not harsh" while skipping that they are hardly there. "Voice sounds so real" while skipping it's too much upfront. But personally I can't have such descriptions. Today it is only about (say new XXHighEnd versions) and "more real voice" or "less digital AGAIN" or "like I am just there". This is what we *do* describe and actually without exception. At reading the review myself I was very curious what would come of this, but I could see the end coming close and already knew : nothing much again. Without exception people rave by email with the "undescriptive description" coming along with a promise to post on the forum with a best "review" ever. Well, nobody did. Not with the USB version. It has to have some meaning ... But Brian, you can always open a new topic for it and try to give it a go. Maybe it challenges others and me to add to it. I will apologize in advance when those "better descriptions" were there already, outside of Praphan's. But I'm always waiting for it and don't recall any. Do notice that we sure are capable of one other thing : Going back to some old-age and describe what is wrong with that. And not the least wrong. Well, wasn't that in the review as well ? it was. And not that I prescribed a word of that review ... What will hopefully be recognizable for you (all) is that I personally have quite some problems with listening to TV - understanding / hearing all the words. Here, TV almost always goes on right after listening to music, and I won't say it's a pain listening to a lesser source, but it is so noticable that while the words/lyriscs have become unavoidable in music with that other source it bothers that it is not. So this is one of those vague descritpions I have myself : I can hear all the words now ! Yea, fine Peter. Peter
