1. Is anyone running EE DAC tethered to a 10.4 OS MAc? If so, pls tell me where I am going wrong!
3. Do you use special USB cables for audio? (eg laptop to EE dac)
What comprises your transport, a computer, right? What are the specs for the computer, how are the files stored, etc, and are you using USB, coaxial or optical?
I just swapped the 2604's for the LME49990's and the change is HUGELY in the right direction. My initial impression is that things are very good. I think all of the complaints I had in my last post are gone. Now I need to figure out how this will compare to the oem opamps/Psvane tube. It's nice to have decent sound again...
All in all, a big improvement and moving in the right direction. We'll see if anything changes at about 100 hours. Maybe I'm changing - who knows.
munosmario:I'm actually a bit shocked at the transformation in these opamps. The first day or two I would've said Levi was right - veiled presentation, period. I'm sitting here listening to Janis Ian Breaking Silence right now and this is unquestionably the best I've ever heard this DAC sound! The SS out, with tube pulled and oem opamps sounded very transparent and detailed, but I always felt it was also thin and that detail was being forced at you. I couldn't relax into the music. With the Dexas and 50 hours on them, all of that transparency is there, but it's naturally integrated into the music, there' more body to instruments, and the whole is a very coherent picture.My intellectual side tells me this shouldn't be so, but there's no doubt in my mind this is the best this DAC has sounded since I got it. Anyone considering the Dexas should be prepared for a not so happy honeymoon period. To my ears and in my system, the patient wait is very much worth it.Mike
since focus here is OPAMPS, is there any general thread still going for EE Plus?TOm
