Description

Put this system together over many years. Recently received the crown of my system, the Tidal Sunray, wow what a speaker.

Will be moving house soon and am planning to get a dedicated room as acoustics are so important. I've sure I'll be able to get a big improvement if I do some work in that area.

Current room size is +- 30f t x 20 ft with a sloping ceiling 15ft to 10 ft.

** update *** Moved to my new house. Finally a dedicated room with a nice high ceiling. New dimensions 21 x 18 ft with the ceiling being 14 ft. Able to do some acoustic treatment here. Sound is nothing short than amazing!!

Maxx1973, have you tried Boulder in your system? I heard them in a show with German Phsik speakers, sounds quite impressive?

Maxx1973, I compared XDS-1 and previous model ( CDS-1?), XDS-1 is much refined in mid and high.

Which Tidal electronics you have tried in your system? My friend ordered their top model Pre Amp (Precencio) and Monobloc Amp (Impact), I might have a chance to try them on my system, in maybe 6 months.

Maxx1973, you should upgrade to DAC2-X, I am XDS-1 user.

Does VITUS SM-101 have enough power and control over Sunray? Would it be little slow or soft?

quanmer

Max, Sunray is formidable, excellent choice!

If you wanted to add more weight and body without sacrificing details, try Tara Labs IC, PC, & SC, which are currently serving my Tidal Contriva Diacera SE,

I have two BMI Oceanic Statement PCs for my Ayre MX-R power amp, slightly more detail and add more air than Tara Labs, and very neutral as well. I consider they are good neutralizer for Tara Labs.
