Count me in please. As long as it is a weekend I should be able to make it. I am afraid I have nothing interesting to bring with me other then myself ;)

Re: Listening Session - Dacs/CDPs
I would love to come along. I can bring the BAT if it is of interest?

Well, I kind of do, but Dave told me that Meitner camp ;) will be already represented so I came to conclusion that mine would be waste of valuable space.tony wrote:You have that copy cat new dac thingy

Re: Listening Session - Dacs/CDPs
If I have counted correctly... that makes it 9 people hoping to attend so far... including myself.
Dave you may have to re arrange the room...!!!!
Should we bring our own comfy cushions???

Re: Listening Session - Dacs/CDPs
Does anyone that's planning on coming have a SPL meter that's both accurate and has good repeatabilty? Not sure how good the mobile phone apps are in that regard.
I don't plan on doing a scientific comparison but I think it would be wise to at least do it all level matched for starters.
Something like this maybe?

Re: Listening Session - Dacs/CDPs
Would love to have trotted along and heard Meitner, Lampi, etc vs the likes of the chunky Wadia. However, I too will be in France (probably consuming a beer or two along with Simon) so will have to check out the after match reports on the forum....

Re: Listening Session - Dacs/CDPs
Can those who are definitely on for Sat let me know asap. Had a look last night and I don't think my living room can accomodate 9 people plus myself comfortably so I might have to split off one group for another day(possibly the day after, Sunday?). I definitely want to hear the Lampi so that means Tony is going.
I doubt anyone wants to compare with vinyl so I could disconnect the TT to free up some space?
