I have made the last upgrade to my system for enjoyment in retirement. The Wyred4Sound 10th Anniversary DAC that has provided much musical enjoyment for almost 7 years was replaced with a Mola Mola Tambaqui. While I find the 10th to be the best DAC at its price point, 3x the spend provides greater performance across the board. I auditioned Mola Mola competitors from DCS and Bricasti but chose the Mola Mola. The decision was based on the Mola Mola’s ability to produce accurate timbre and organic/dense images with state of the art detail that is neither etched nor fatiguing. The Burmester 032 and Vivid Giya G3s are consistent with the system design intent and the three complement each other in this regard. The sound is tube like liquid and sweet but with solid state transient speed, micro/macro dynamics, and clarity. Aficionados of old school tube sound may not like this system, but that is the beauty of our hobby - each of us can determine our preferences and build systems to our liking. There will be no further changes now that I am on fixed income and I dare not propose any or the wife acceptance factor will go into the red range. Shout out to GTT audio and Bill for his patients and knowledge in working with me to get the MMT.
Yes, the journey is part of it, although living remotely makes the hifi journey a bit challenging.
It is great that your room works so well for you, I was thinking if there would be a suck out of the bass where the opening goes to the other rooms, but I understand that that is not a problem.
I really like the notion of the last system, it is something I am putting together also.
I was considering the Mola Mola dac for some time, but could not justify it as my system is not that expensive, I choose the Audial S5b instead and am really happy with it.
I have my end game pre amp, but am considering the Gato PWR 222 mono blocks. My speakers I love also, maybe getting a pair of Rel’s or if winning the lottery upgrading to the Graham Audio ls5/5 could be an option.
I find it intriguing that those speakers work in your room, just shows a small room can be made to work, or just somehow works even if one were to think it should not be possible.
As you have a very revealing system, can I ask what music you normally listen too, also does your system work well on low volume?
