Another set of independent measurements for Elicit-R, again in Russia, https://www.pult.ru/articles/stereousiliteli/integrirovannyy-usilitel-rega-elicit-r/ globally Ok but nothing exceptional as far as I can see.
For Elicit-R measurements were done here https://www.salonav.com/arch/2014/07/066_rega.htm (In Russian but plots are readable as well as the text via Google). Reasonable measurements as far as I see but distortion free power is less than advertised.
The author of the post asked a very good question, with a good sub and minidsp can we expect from Aria 906 a high-endish feeling or there is something missing in the sepakers that cannot be augmented with minidsp shd? I have 906+Velodyne DB-12 paired to Topping D70->Rega Elicit-R integrated...
I bought Rega Elicit-R (ex-demo) and quite happy with it. Nothing exceptional in terms of measurements (you can see plots here https://www.salonav.com/arch/2014/07/066_rega.htm) but Ok until ~60 W at 8 Ohm. Now I cannot distinguish Topping D50 and D70 anymore and one thing, what kind of DAC &...
Has anyone on this forum done a blind testing of two DACs from the "green zone" theoretically indistinguishable? Preferably in hi-end headphones. Would be interesting to see.
-6 or 12 dB does not change anything as far as I can hear, well, side by side comparing D70 D50 and 1792 in FiiO X5 ii I can hear differences, in particular with high quality harpsicord recordings that are naturally full of treble and "steel". Moreover female voices (mezzo soprano) are more...
Ok I am in France and the actual price from cobra_dot_fr is 600 EUR. I bought a pair 3 weeks ago.
Connected to Topping D70&D50->Rotel-04. Previous pair of speakers KEF iQ30.
Well, impressions are mixed, definitely they are not worth 2000 USD, 600 is the right price point and yes they are...
