Actually I am already using Oppo 95 as a transport and Esoteric D-07 as DAC for the Oppo and netbook for 192/24 and I am quite satisfied. I agree that without enough space, buying very expensive speakers and amp would be a waste. But with high-end source I still believe it can much improve my existing headphone system. That's why I will bring my headphone amp and headphones to audition the K01 at DCH this weekend. Wouldn't you agree?

Sorry Googleli C Hing, I couldn't agree with you. I think most audiophiles have a very wrong concept regarding the "Source" as the "paramount factor" or the "holy grail", and they try to allocate most of the budget onto this single gear. As far as digital front end, I have auditioned the most expensive gears this world can offer you and also the cheapest ones, as well as the newest and the oldest. Let me tell you the truth. The truth is the speaker has the dominance factor of the whole system. The power amp has to be well matched with the chosen speaker. And much of the resolution, dynamics, transparency, tonal balance, speed etc are determined by the "Preamp", not the source! Actually the preamp is the "soul" of the whole system, and is mostly neglected by most audiophiles!! I am not saying the digital front end is not important, but a 2nd hand $30k player is already very good in this aspect, unless you've got the space, a very good speaker and a very good preamp and poweramp ready. Then you'll need a better digital front end. This is no offense, but If I were you, I'll save up the hard earn money moving into a bigger home before spending $100k on a digital front end :) |
