Rich. Thanks for your gracious hospitality for opening your home to a group of crusty audiophiles for a day. Great times were had and great chili was consumed.

PS. The Vega did NOT rein champion. TBC......

Different doesn't make one better than another. I personally didn't care for the one I had and sold it off. Let's praise the fact we have many choices in the DAC world for all of us to have a reining champion in our own systems.

Bah! Obviously the best sounding source was the Donald Fagen LP! A close second was the Rush Hemispheres LP I played!  :thumb:

Everything else was BORING. Except the chili, Rich's hospitality and my sweet smelling lubricants.

Best,
Anand.

While listening, I'll agree.  Can we put in a request for the next dac for you to buy for the next meet?   :oops: :lol: :P

Of course......was actually looking for an ESS based dac like the Vega but using the new ES9038PRO chip. I think Gustard has a new one on the market. I preferred the Gustard over the Vega, both using an ES9018 chip. Still have the Custard. What did you have in mind? No $10K DACS please  :nono: :nono:

Fun G2G! Thanks to everyone who came. And special thanks to those who traveled long distance or brought gear. It was a very educational, entertaining, inspiring and memorable party!

Already looking forward to the next one.

Doesn't Tidal do classical?


Ya.. here you go:

And here's Tori Kelly, I saw her on Grammys.

No wonder nobody ever heard of her, she's from American Idol season 9. She's got 3 albums out.
