Kudos on assembling a simple, effective system. It looks like you found some great equipment values.

Jmelvin, I'm using star sound audio points 1.0s and they really helped with a ps audio dac - better ambience cues and solider imaging. The best tweak I've come across is adding the 1.5s under my speakers - better base, clearer mids and shiny treble.

Thanks guys.

Jastorg1 .. I'm very happy with the Tranquility Dac. It has a nice organic quality to it, instruments sound real, good soundstage. All of my music is Redbook, no hi-rez and I listen to mostly jazz .. sax and piano are just gorgeous.

Nkbg .. you know I haven't tried brass cones and I've been thinking of that tweak lately, any experience with them?

Great, simple system!!!!!!!!!

Enjoy!!

very nice setup!

Have you every tried brass cones with the DAC?

Nice system! I'm interested on tranquility dac.. Would you mind sharing some insights on sound, etc.. Is it really good?

Thanks

Thanks. I seriously looked at the DL3 for the obvious synergy, but I like the concept of a well designed NOS dac .. the Tranquility was just what I had in mind.

looks good! any thoughts on upgrade the dac to a Digital Link III in the future? I purchased a DL3 myself, and I am now hunting down Trio series gear to match!

luv it! I am a huge fan of the PS Audio gear myself. I often consider going back to small and simple as well. Enjoy.

Great, simple system. Using iPad for keyboard (select tunes on iTunes) is fab!!!!

Enjoy!!!

Thanks guys. I'm very happy with the aesthetics as well as the sound. The system in no way overwhelms the space. The Mac Mini as a music server is everything I read about and the convenience just can't be beat.

Awesome looking system...can't beat the convenience of Apple. I am thinking of switching from an Apple TV in my multi channel room to a Mac mini...

Happy Listening

It looks like a dream "dorm room" system for an audiophile. It's proof that gear doesn't have to take over the room to sound great.

Yes, every component is quite small compared to my previous gear. Fortunately the SOUND is not! The tv is actually a Dell 20" monitor. Most of the time it's off and I use Apple's Remote app on my iPad for Pure Music/iTunes playback.

jmelvin January 16, 2011 23:36

Very clean and small system. Every component appears to be downsized even the TV. I'd love to hear how it sounds.
