Must kill Moose and Squirrel!

FTFY Al...

As DAC with such an easy analogue output may sound better than heavy class A?

Most audiophiles equate "build quality" with physical heft/weight (and pretty circuit boards with nice symmetrically-laid out components). Many discrete I/V and/or output stages are nothing more than discrete op-amps anyway. Just because it is discrete doesn't mean it will perform and sound better. Looks and feels impressive though...

Bought try Berkeley Alpha Series 2

 

 

Do not understand. In my Spectral SDR-2000 analog output in the class A on transistors, and in Berkeley on the OPA. What is the world coming audio?

 

 

Spectral weight 52 lbs

Berkeley Alpha weight 9 lbs.

What's the catch?

Soon get Berkeley and compare personally

 

 

Listening to the Spectral SDR-2000 and Berkeley Alpha Series 2

 

 

In direct comparison to be clear. Waiting Berkeley

 

What could be more clear?  Nothing.  The answer is nothing.

Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

Which heavier?

I don't know what's wrong with you people, I understand him perfectly.  He is awaiting arrival of the Berkeley Audio Design DAC, and he's going to do a direct comparison.

 

KnyazHM, please post both the original Russian and your translations from now on, so if there's any confusion, we can go back to the original text.

Yes, thank you for your understanding. Berkeley already sent soon to compare.

Спасибо за понимание и советы! Как получу Berkeley, сразу сравню со Spectral

Lol I actually wouldn't mind reading the comparison too much. Well... depends how long it is.

Думаю какой ЦАП еще попробовать. Что будет лучше?

I think what DAC still try. That would be better?
