Refreshing system with DMP-A6 (or A8 :) )

[GaryY]

You got them set up already?

No, I have received only order confirmation yet. It may take 1 or 2 weeks . I don't know if Zidoo has stock and waiting notice. The delivery for speaker is fixed as the end of December... But it's ok..waiting is also fun to me...

Finally I just completed all the orders I need. Thank you so much for all the advices from you!
Boxem Arthur 4512/E2
Eversolo DMP-A8
Revel F226Be

I don’t know the amp but great choices with the A8 & F226Be.

I like the size of 226 very much because space is not so big. Also sound wise, I trust the ears of great reviewers in ASR than mine..... haha

 

[GaryY]

Should I connect digital out to Beresford?
....kidding

Finally I can remove Beresford from chain!

Really nice! Boxem amp on its way?

Really nice! Boxem amp on its way?

Yes, and I just realized cyrus doesn't have pre-in....I need Boxem!

 

[GaryY]

Though power amplifier is not there yet, eversolo is in action. This is so satisfying! I have 0 regret.

Finally all 3 elements are replaced and I'm so happy with that. Thanks al lot again all the helps. I have replaced Beresford DAC with Eversolo, Cyrus 3 integrated Amp with Eversolo/Boxem 4215 E2, and mission 751 with Revel F226Be which look huge upgrade. After replacing one by one, finally I realized that the most serious bottleneck of sound quality in my old system was Cyrus 3 Amplifier. Though I had enjoyed music so long time with this, it turned out that my choice of 25 years ago was not that great.

Merry Christmas!

One more thing on the 1st day with new system, there is only one drawback.
I don't know what is wrong, but I can't here the songs of Adele very well anymore. What would be the problem??

 

[Purité Audio]

What do you mean, can’t hear Adele?
Keith

 

[GaryY]

Her voice(or recording) is way tooooo much husky/rough/distorted...

 

[Purité Audio]

Can’t just be Adele,
Keith

 

[GaryY]

You mean I may have problem in sound chain?

 

[Purité Audio]

If there was an issue then every track by every artist would have the same issue, which Adele album?
Keith

 

[GaryY]

I tried again I feel something different than before after 3:30 of some one like you...I don't know if you can understand.

 

[BossBunos]

Not sure what you mean exactly. Like @Purité Audio said: if something is wrong with your equipment it should be notable on almost every song/track. Maybe you are listening to a low quality version of the song? What is the source? A last possibility could be 'brain burn in'. After listening to your previous system for many years the brain is used to that sound. Switching to a new system requires some to get familiar with. But I have no doubt your new system is more natural sounding

 

[GaryY]

When I tried 2nd time, actually it was better than the 1st experience. Maybe it was some detail of husky/harsh voice or reality whatever...

With new speakers, the most impressive part so far was longer feeling of reverberation of cello...really different.

 

[Purité Audio]

Maybe that is just how Adele really sounds.
Keith

 

[GaryY]

I' m thinking the same. How can I express my feeling very well...it was like "Is Adele's vocal cords Ok if she continues singing with this voice?"

Probably you prefer the Wolfson DAC chip found on Beresford than AK DAC chip found on DMP A-8.
