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. **






**I may or may not be serious.

As soon as that 6 figure bonus I'm expecting lands in my bank account.**










** I am entirely not serious.

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!

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?

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!

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.

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 :)

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.)
John , nice link-up with Jplay.

Hope to get time for some serious listening next weekend Ken and then i will give a better impression of the comparison.

i was down both days i thought it was a fantastic show and i hope the cloneys do good buisness from this
i heard headphones for the first time and there was an open framed one i liked better than the top stax which was called an 007 i think . i gave lars a hard out drilling gold and silver contact not rhodium -dedicated earth most important of all,
usa plug not 15a, euro,or 13a british isles-he only had one 13a plug in his demonstration
isolation around the mains cable block he said aluminium -brass-and the other i cant remember they once made expensive pulsar points out of this material i asked about acrylic as a material for this job
i thought that big shiney devilant was just a class d amp it does a lot of jobs someone said in earlier posts
there was a man in at roy gregory lecture front dead centre seated who allowed no questions so it was hard to find out things -the riaa demonstration was very impressive
maybe some of the other forum members could tell was it record player, phonostage
devilant ,
i thought the highlight of the show was a bookshelf systeym audio speaker i think this speaker has vast potential and while it was giving the accurate crisp hifi sound i can see it being capable of much more musicallity .i heard a few other bigger ones also
thanks to the cloneys once again
