Genelec user experience

[Perlik]

I am super happy with my Genelec 8260.

However, I realised that if you want to improve the SQ, you cannot act on the DAC which is a key component.

The Genelec one is ok, but it could become the limitation of your system once you have improved all the rest.

Same for the amps, but I think the DAC is key if you want your system to not sound too digital.

 

Hope it helps

Hi Kelly

 

Yes I was referring to inner DAC/amps.

And yes, the Genelec are "brutally honest”. It is what I like: very dynamic, very accurate... I am missing vocabulary to explain but let say they sound very close to a real musical instrument.

I have improved SQ, making more analog the voices and increasing the image with the Gustard + PSU in Mac Mini and A+.

 

But now I have reached the limit of improvements. Because whatever I try changing the readers or the AES/EBU converter or the cables I do not ear the difference. This is why I say that they are good, but after a certain step your reach the limit of resolution of the package.

 

BTW: I have found the Genelec demo in Munich High End far more digital than my system.
