I bought the SU-10 for the sheer audacity of it's overkill config. Reminds me of Oppo. Will take it's place beside the RME Have a Topping DM-7 on the way for MCH. Pair with the PRE90 + EXT90. These guys are intuitive about their gear & applications. Keep your uber expensive Euro stuff, IMO the...

I removed the doors day 1. Problem solved

Personally, I can see this as a perfect L/C/R for a home theater and\or multi-channel system. Self-powered, etc., etc., etc. Right now, $10k is a sweet spot an end-game price for a pair of speakers. Obviously I understand that people's priorities and budget are significant factors. Trust me, I'm...

I never said I liked A over B. I said I liked source players with a preamp vs. no preamp. Although it flies somewhat in the face of my simple signal chain as possible tenet, ime, a preamp is as important any any other system component other than speakers

Not meaning to patronize Kal, although far more often than not I agree with his assessments, Oppos are widely known for their build quality, reliability, customer support & open to feedback. I've owned and do own Oppos since the beginning, best all around players I know of. If anyone has had an...

Thanks for the sub tests, Amir I would make one of my subs available to Amir as I'm fairly close, but schlepping them into the house with a heavy duty hand truck was PITA enough. To go through boxing, unboxing, boxing again & getting them in my car? Forget it. My subs weigh 104lbs net each

I know this has been posted at least once in this thread, but imo it's the user that get "broken in" rather than the speaker.

Given Anthem's history, I would not expect a replacement before then

Sorry trl, but the lone reason Oppo Digital shutdown was the parent company wasn't seeing enough profit for dedicating a production line for their products versus cell phones. Oppo Digital worked closely with all of their vendors. Just because people think they failed because they used one DAC...

Such a sad shame that Oppo Digital got shutdown by the parent company. I met all of the main Oppo guys in August of 2013 & talked at length with the designer Jason. He approached gear design like Toyota & Honda. Making incremental, tangible improvements in their products with each generation...

I'm guessing that at least some on this forum work in IT. I have since the mid-80's in several disciplines. I would never trust sophisticated software for voting. In Washington state they instituted vote-by-mail a few years back. We always have to wait at least 48hours before the results are...

You've taken it out the context for your own reasons, the fact is it does sound better to me. Ergo, it is my fact. Not you or anyone else. I stated that explicitly. You can pound sand

I've been reviewing all of the straight DAC reviews tonight, looking for a reason to replace my Oppo-205s. Haven't seen any yet as I bought at MSRP. The fact that you can watch use it for flawless video is like, free! I won't go into all of my tries at bypassing a preamp in the digital realm In...

What do you expect for $129? Me, not much

This thing weighs a ton for a DAC and that is the reason I hate you all for asking me to rip it out of my cabinet to test it! Amir, that's why we love what you're doing! Not really a fair fight in this day & age. One thing about ML\Madrigal, it always oozes quality. The man dost protest too...
