It works great too! -
Brian, what room are you showing in for Axpona?
-
Cool. I was at CanJam this weekend with a friend who owns 2 of the M1SE's and he is a huge fan. I would expect better results vs the DAC2 DSDse (Which I own) given the price difference. It is nice to see some specific measurable evidence of one aspect of its performance.
-
Interesting measurements RFP. Assuming they should be reasonably accurate it certainly illustrates the benefits of the M1.
-
I have enjoyed the W4s for some time now. How would you compare it to the M1? I am curious as to the differences given their respective costs. I am not averse to an upgrade, just want to know where it may take the sound. Thanks!

I will spend some time with the Aries at RMAF in a couple of weeks. I do have everything backed up on a NAS so it would be no big deal to switch over. Auralic is supposed to have a good App for the Aires too.
-
Interesting. I do not have any special drivers loaded for My Mac with the W4S...It has been plug and play via USB since I got it a couple of years ago. Same for every upgrade. (It started out as the DAC2 then I sent it in for the DSDse then Femto clock upgrades) I am currently pairing it with a MBPro and the ALO Audio Studio Six SET headphone amp. Spectacular with the HD800's.

Very informative! Thanks for that. I am researching non-PC sources like Aurender and Auralic to get the PC out of the chain.

I have found subtle differences between Amarra and Audirvana. I certainly cannot explain it. It is not so much that it makes or breaks my software of choice. JRiver does a nice job too and it is an iTunes replacement as well. I know there are more out there but unless something comes along that is offering a significantly improved experience I will use one of these. They all have specific functional benefits that make them useful to me.
