Thanks for the kind comments. I don't visit the 'gon much anymore so I'm a little slow to see any comments or questions.

The DS Audio system is the real deal. I consider my CH Precision P1 one of the best phonostages on the market today. As is the new Lambda Lyra carts. It would take a seriously good cart/phonostage to compete and the DS Master set certainly does just that. 

Happy New Year to all,

Steve

Steve your thoughts on the DS system ?

Beautiful system!
Can you share any information about Replay Beast? I couldn't find anything about this as a server.

Simply gorgeous and amazing setup !

Pretty spectacular high fidelity system and acoustically treated room. I hope someday to have the opportunity to hear a system of this caliber. Impressive!

Knockout gear and layouts.  Especially like the acoustic treatments, the KODO, and the Lyras of course.  Would love to hear them. Rockports may be my favorite high-end speakers.  Salut

Steve,
Congrats on your new components and speakers!  I bet they sound great together!

LOL. I missed that that that old receiver was in the picture, I took that when the Lyra speakers were brand new and being run-in. I use that receiver to get the speakers burned-in. 

I do have digital. CH Precision C1 DAC and a Replay Beast used as a server behind the rack.

Preferred cartridge...probably the Etna SL but the vd Hul Master Sig and DS Audio DW2 system are up there too.

vetterone

Yeah, it looks ok... LoL..Gorgeous set-up dude!

Great looking system, CH is by far my favorite solid state brand.

My goodness, what a gorgeous set-up! Must sound incredible.
However, my curiosity is piqued by that modest little silver-faced receiver on the floor, in front of the right-hand equipment rack, in the first photo. Is that thing hooked up to the Rockports?

Not bad!

I bet it sounds great !
The combination of speakers and electronics must be spectacular 

So, Having both a Lyra, Van D & DS Audio transducer

Do you have a preferred cartridge . The optical really intrigues me !

Jeff

Ps: no digital ?
