This is the result of 35+ years of being an audiophile...started off with a Sony clock radio that my dad got for me-wow!! I am blessed. This is now a 100% digital system-the Rogue Audio Perseus pre amp & Decware Tube Buffer is in storage. My system is now very transparent, detailed, liquid, smooth, natural. Bottom line is I am that much closer to the recorded event. My desire to upgrade has been greatly diminished. Only item waiting for is the Schiit Audio Gadget...come on Mike and Jason!! Note-all of my cables/wires/stand/platforms/power cords/duplex/weights/cones are from Mapleshade-everything that Pierre writes on his website is True-not hyperbole-been using his products for over 20 years. Last words-the best 3 tweeks-IMO: Add Powr eau2s, Mapleshade field shaping ground plane ribbons and the MQA software update for the Berkeley Audio Design Alpha DAC Series 2-they all brought me closer to the feeling of being at the recorded event-realism with ease/liquidity/detail/emotion.
Enjoy! P.S. one more tweek-Mapleshade's optical cable-connecting Apollo R CD player to the BADA DAC-sounds awesome-is making me pull out my CDs-in some respects better than the Bryston BDP1.
