Master Gerald, alam mo naman, mumu ako, puro mumurahin. its only 10K cash. Im intrigued with DacMagic 100 as some sites even prefer it compared sa DacMagic Plus. Its does 192h/24 bits on all inputs BUT it uses (a) newer Wolfson DAC similar to Rega; (b) does not upsample, (c) no filtering and (d) has no preamp section as compared to the DacMagic Plus.
Master Jason, next project natin yan boss. I have no gripe with the mede8er source naman except that it downsamples my HD Tracks to 48khz. hehe. I feel a computer will do better however, tapusin ko lang basic acoustic treatment baka makuha. Super live kasi living room ko. hahaha! peaks at 60-70hz at umaabot ng 1 sec reverb. bwahaha!
Master Ivan, you are correct. I posted a querry as im initially dissatisfied. When I got the unit, pangit tumunog. I even prefer using the media player without the DAC. It is as if you are listening to MP3s. RXV lend me his musical fidelity vcan and I liked it more. Hands down, Pangit tumunog. I planned to sneak it our and sell after 2 days. hahaha!
Last ditch, I played it for 2 days, non-stop using pink noise. Walang tigilan. Never care to listen to it after 5 days at baka masira araw ko. hahaha. Finally, my wife requested me to play some music and it was totally different. The soundstage rendition as regarded in the DacMagic is there. Midrange is no longer sterile and kumapal na. The highs are no longer ear piercing and offers a beautiful bloom. The lows are more snappy na. So far, im happy with the unit. No gripes at all.
