Thanks. Have heard the DCS, don't really like it. Prefer the Meitner, but can't afford it (and also suspect Meitner may not be the last word for PCM). Also, daisy chaining clock sync is NOT a good idea. Some studios do it, but it introduces too much jitter.I never said that you should look at specs alone, but there's no point spending a lot more money when the specs are not as good AND it doesn't sound superior (based on people who have compared them). THAT was the point I was trying to make.
It *should* be possible with today's technology to produce a multi-channel DAC that provides >125dB THD and dynamic range. Very difficult, but not impossible. My 1820M measures just under 120dB, so we're talking about something with half the noise floor. And it should be possible to do it for not much more than what the 1820M cost.
Problem is, I haven't seen one yet. The ones you listed are mainly using older DAC chips, which is why the specs are not very impressive. If you are going to spend that kind of money, why buy obsolete non state of the art technology?
*** So I would need get three super resolving matching stereo amps ***
That's what I have at the moment. I have FOUR identical Musical Fidelity A5 dual mono power amps (each rated at over 250 watts/ch). And believe me, they are pretty resolving! I need a dedicated 20 amp power circuit just to feed power into them.
