If you're looking to upgrade Simon and the computer audio route doesnt appeal to you then obviously the full stack dCS solution is your only option. **Diapason wrote:I, on the other hand, am a clean slate...

We never did manage to organise a comparison between the dCS & my DAC or MK3 devices :) I'm available whenever suits & very interested in doing this you if you are still interested?Ciaran wrote:It's what I did when I got a few years' worth of back pay a few years ago! With things as they are now I'm expecting someone along to look for that money back!
I tells ya, having a dCS stack at home is a good way to ruin a hi-fi show!
I'm still interested, but still short of time: I nearly didn't go to the Cloney show! We might be able to do it in few weeks!jkeny wrote:We never did manage to organise a comparison between the dCS & my DAC or MK3 devices :) I'm available whenever suits & very interested in doing this you if you are still interested?
Hope to get time for some serious listening next weekend Ken and then i will give a better impression of the comparison.Ken Moreland wrote:Pearse, very impressed with how quickly you chose the JKDAC32 over the renowned Young Dac. Perhaps you'ld give us a fuller review when you get a chance. (You can see how I'm thinking here.)jkeny wrote:Great, Pearse, thanks for posting. I'm glad the JKDAC32 ticked all your boxes on your home system & you find it better than the Young DAC. It should also improve some more over the next couple of weeks burn-in :)Sligolad wrote:.......
To more serious Hi Fi matters.
It is with great sadness that i announce the retirement of my Yound DAC....sadness over and on to more joyous matters!
I have just listened to Hard Nose the Highway by Van Morrison for the umpteenth time and i have never had such an enjoyable listening experience.
All credit for this goes to the new JKDAC which i picked up from John after the show.
From now on the discussion on digital versus analogue source is not relevant anymore, using Jplay and Johns new DAC with valve amplification and electrostatics ticks all my boxes.
The show has been a real win win for me so lets hope next years is at least as good.
John , nice link-up with Jplay.
