Me! found wanting! :eek:
You've got me muddled up with someone else mate. Bear in mind I don't object to cheating :lol:
Marco you're welcome whenever you like, open Invitation. The Mrs is away this weekend from early Thursday AM. Pop up if you like, bring dac and technics. I think the Kuzma is finalised, physically and electrically, if not visually.
So, your digital and analogue front ends are now on the same rung of the performance ladder? Add in the much higher availability of new music on digital media, the superb convenience and accessibility and the much lower cost of achieving this level of performance and you have to smile about the future of digital music at home.Quote:

Trust me, I don't use kit just because it's "arcane" ;)
Marco.
Yes indeed, have to agree. (with Darren's post)
Done a bit of digging and it looks like this board may form the basis of the TFS (of course they may have modified it) notice the RCA's. I can see the word ASUS through the grille in the top of the unit!

Hi Darren,
Definitely not far off each other now!Quote:

Sure, but not everything on the market has the performance capability of the TFS. And remember that, hi-res files aside, I'm using it in conjunction with the best of old digital technology, in order to achieve optimal sound quality, to my ears.Quote:

But, it certainly does open up a whole new world of music - even Spotify now sounds pretty good! :cool:
Marco.
I'm sure that's right but, I think you can do great digital sound really well now on a budget. Especially with a squeezebox touch or laptop and a good DACQuote:

To be honest I feel spoiled as a music lover. More now than ever before.
PS. I'll give you a few quid for that old jap turntable of yours. You wont be using it soon. - just remember my offer.
I have a fair idea what the techie can deliver, less so with the Sony. It'll be interesting to see how either of them stack up against current offerings.Quote:
