Awesome, that will certainly make life easier. Please also let me know which day we should have the fireside chat? Happy to coordinate with DeVon if that makes it easier.

DeVon and I are going up again on Monday to take pictures of all the beds so that we can decide where to put everyone.  

We don't want you to have any stress trying to find where to sleep so we will have all the beds assigned ahead of time so that when you arrive someone can simply show you to your bed where you can dump any stuff that you brought.

What i mean by a hifi sound, is that they had great top end and great bottom end, but lacked some timbre.


I get what you mean, thank you.

Now that my new F15s are breaking in a bit I thought I'd try the ZR2 again.  Absolutely terrible!  I took it right out of the chain.  It's not needed and introduces extreme boomy base right off of the baffles.  It's better for me to just crank up my CSP3 voltage to near max and feed right into my ZMA.

6  AUDIO FORUMS / Classifieds / FS:  AudioQuest Dragonfly Red DAC/Dragontail

Everyone,

I am selling my AudioQuest Dragonfly Red USB DAC and the AudioQuest Dragon Tail USB Extender.  I am asking $100.00 dollars firm with free shipping within the CONUS.  This was used as my primary DAC for close to a year connected to my laptop. I would rate it a conservative 8/10 with minor wear.  I just tested the unit and it works perfectly with all of the different colored lights displaying on the DAC when there is a change in bitrate.  I also tested it in Roon and it shows up as an audio device and sounds great.

The two listed items are sold as a pair and I would rather not break them up. All of the items contained in the pictures will come with your purchase. I will accept PayPal or Venmo as forms of payment. I would much rather sell it here to a Decware Forum member before it goes up on eBay.  I am reserving the right to choose who gets the sale, so this is not first come first serve due to potentially weeding out trollers on this site.

If you are interested or have any questions, please feel free to shoot me a PM.  Thanks for looking.

The like button took 7 hours of coding to make work, but I believe it's well worth it for a 25 year old forum : ). Against our timeline, 7 hours isn't even visible.

Hi Chris,
I'm going to do my best to follow instructions and leave the CSP3 unpacked for a few weeks. And possibly even longer as I may put it up for sale, haven't made that difficult decision yet. . . .

Lon - I just saw this and just have to say that at this point in the recovery, do what is recommended by the doctors and don't over do it. But, I'll bet a tenner on the fact that the CSP3 box will sit unmolested until you CAN safely move it, open it, bask in the glory of the Decware Shipping Dept packaging, install the tubes and put her back in her place. Oh, you know you will. Heal up and report back on how all is progressing. Happy listening, Chris.

Schubert famously is a miniaturist. It was until the end of his unfortunately short life that he figured out "big music" like piano sonatas and symphonies. And even so his Great C Major Symphony, written in the last year of his life, can seem to drag on if the conductor can't put together all the catchy tunes in an interesting way. Klaus Tennstedt does exactly that in his Berlin Philharmonic recording.

 

16/44 FLAC download.

The only downside is the early EMI digital recording sounds, well, pretty early digital.
