Hello BillI've look at the Killer dac forum, very informative, seeing few photos and some texts, it's a TDA1541A non-oversampling dac using a passive IV/ resistor and tube output and very best parts aviable.If I've read it correctly, there is few mod version of this dac and the parts qualities play a big role in it's sound qualities ?Have you try it at home on classical orchestral music with the Naksa ?It would be interesting if Hugh could try this dac with the Naksa and Soraya, with some various music including classical orchestral music.ThankByeGaetan
Thanks Johnny; I'm in Tulsa, OK. I will check into it further.
Hi Gaetan,Can you recommend some particularly well recorded reference cd's for classical?I've been getting back into Classical, especially late 20th century "modern" composers, and have had the pleasure of attending some stellar concert performances. Comapring the live experience to that delivered in my listening room has been quite favorable Cheers,John
Gee, Bill,Is this an interesting question!!Truth is, what audiophiles often rate as transparent is anything but technically.They will say, and subjectively I agree, that the single ended triode, a really good one, is the most transparent thing out there. Yet, when you measure them, you see that they have about 2% THD, most of it H2, H3 and H4. This is in fact very coloured, but it's clearly what many - not all - really like.This points up that whatever THD is measuring, it's likely not transparency.Sorry, just muddied the waters....Hugh
I use mostly old vinyl record, but some of the best classical recording CD 's come mostly from Naim record, Chesky, Earato, Fidelio.
That might be tricky, Gaelan is north of Montreal, it's pretty nice of you if you send it to Canada..... but I can vouch for the fact he is an honest, loyal and committed audiophile and completely trustworthy!!

You sent your NAKSA 70 to WA (that's West Oz, not Pacific North West!!) and these guys are very serious about their sound. Any response from Mario at this stage, or too early?
Thanks Bill! We'll wait and see......
