JukKluk2 Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 @Darren69 Yeah, go on Dazzle, go for broke and get those Genesis speakers. I'm sure that as a genuine purchaser you could negotiate at least another $10k off the asking price, maybe even more. Plus it would probably save you money in the long run, one big purchase now instead of numerous purchases over the next couple of decades. You might even be able to get Paul McGowan to come out and help you get them set up correctly, as he did for the seller. Just don't mention that you sold your Direct Stream DAC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The idea is that, if we all listen to the music beforehand, we will be able to make more informed decisions of what we are hearing on the day. No obligations, but hope this will make this planned day even better. Johannes, thanks mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit 1870 Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Hey Darren, thanks for the invite mate, however I have the awesome privilege of working that weekend so I'm going to have to pass. Would have been awesome to hear some Tool and Maiden pumping through your system Maybe next time. Oh yeah you asked what is a Gambit.... "an act or remark that is calculated to gain an advantage, especially at the outset of a situation" He was also a character in X-Men Cheers Jason 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here’s the latest; We will release both DSJ and DS and Bridge code on Friday for a general release. No one need wait. There’s no getting your head around this new release. Seriously. We finished up Red Cloud for DS today. It was the easiest OS upgrade we’ve ever had the pleasure to work on. From the moment we put this on it was just perfect. (???? Its OTT nothing is perfect ). Top to bottom better. I hesitate to say Huron sounds anemic and somewhat broken compared to Red Cloud so I won’t – though that is exactly what I think right now. I also believe Ted may have gone to the dark side to achieve this. How in blazes can his wizardry extend to this level of improvement without having sold his soul? Kevin Jackson in our sales department commented that with Huron it sounded like half the ensemble was missing—restored with Red Cloud. And let’s be clear. We ALL loved Huron! I am not sure what Ted did though I can give you a brief laundry list if you’re interested. I for one refuse to believe this is all he did. Better linearized lower level signals – removing some low-level THD Removed some older linearization heuristics Lowered distortion a little with grossly overloaded signals (signals way above 0dBFS only achievable in saturated DSD) Fewer ticks/pops on sample rate changes and format changes. Clear upsampler’s partial results on sample rate changes Lowered noise and artifacts Yeah, yeah. Blah, blah. In my opinion, Ted’s holding out on us to keep his secrets (or his bargain for his soul) close to the vest. This is too big to have only been the work above. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
