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 |
Zanden 2000P CD Transport Previously, if someone had offered to replace my record players and record collection wholesale with CDs and a player of my choice, I'd have questioned their sanity and then shown them the door. Now I'd have to consider that offer seriously. That's how big a step the Zanden digital electronics represent. - HiFi + |
Boulder
2020 Digital to Analog Converter This
attention to analog performance is simply unprecedented. Total
crystal re-clocking completely eliminated jitter, and an eight
times oversampling FIR digital filter produces superb transient
response. Five Burr-Brown DACs in parallel per channel significantly
lower distortion and increase accuracy to theoretical limits.
Boulder's unique three-chassis design affords maximum isolation
between digital and analog circuitry. The separate power supply
chassis houses independent regulated supplies for each channel,
as well as the digital / display chassis. |
Weiss Jason CD Transport Any
great digital front end must start with a great transport. The JASON
CD Transport is an addition to the already famous MEDEA
D/A Converter. The design and electronics are of the same high
quality in both units. Many included features in the JASON which
make it the CD Transport of choice not only in conjunction with
the MEDEA but with all kinds of D/A Converters or Digital Amplifiers. |

| METRONOME KALISTA REFERENCE CD TRANSPORT "Metronome has succeeded in developing a RedBook machine that can distill the most and best from the humble CD. As long as the recording, production values and pressing are of high quality, any hint of the 'CD sound' is absent. With very many CDs now, the difference to vinyl analogs is hard to tell. And just a thought: how many (expensive) vinyl discs have been cut from original digital masters? |

"Dominique Giner and company have put forth great efforts in the Kalista project. They prove that CD isn't the inferior medium after all and on most occasions can live right next to -- if not easily compete with -- vinyl. In this context, the asking price is more of a long-term yield investment than mere expense; an investment to get more from the enormous amount of music that's available on CD. Music lovers no longer need to be sorry for having prematurely ditched their LP collections way back when. With Kalista on the scene, RedBook lovers enjoy the last laugh!" 6moons.com READ MORE
