EAR Acute, Part 2

Digital Drive

Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

We bought an EAR Acute, but this one, unlike the first one, has a chrome faceplate. I just added some more info about it on my blog below.
If you ever get to hear an Acute with the right tubes and adequate downstream components, maybe you'll do what my friends and I did: laugh out loud. The Acute does such a great job at preserving the music's believability, it makes other CD players sound plastic, broken, crude, and colored. Shoot. Even with throwaway cords, the Acute sounded fine going into the modest Naim Nait 5i. Finally, CD sounds like people singing, programming synthesizers, and playing instruments.
Having a quality source such as this makes the job of everything downstream so much easier.
We currently have some Nordost Valhalla on the Cable Cooker. I can't wait to unleash these cables on the Acute.
