Weiss Medea D/A Converter"Whoa! That was my first reaction to the Medea. Oh my was my second. I wonder if can afford to buy this thing? That was my third. I’ve never heard a digital processor resolve as much information as this one does. The Medea unveils loads of detail -- through the high, mid, and bass regions -- to the point where I was scrambling for disc after disc to determine if what I was hearing was some sort of illusion. It wasn’t. " - SoundStage |

Accoustic
Arts DRIVE 1 MK 2 There was nothing about
the Accustic Arts Drive 1 I didn't like or secretly wished to
be different. It's build like a tank, looks like a fine piece
of jewelry, doesn't lack any features I'd consider essential
and definitely performs in the areas of heightened presence lock
with vocals, more percussive incisiveness with transients and
better visibility into the micro-data domain of recorded acoustics.
Considering the going rates for competing options, its selling
price resides on the lower end of the scale and, though not insignificant,
actually makes it into one of the more affordable contenders
in this admittedly specialized and rarefied sector. |
