Popular Post Account Closed Posted April 21, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 21, 2020 I loved seeing "Midnight Sugar" on the display. One of the best of the Japanese jazz recordings. I played that thing to death for 20 years before I sold it (for more than I paid for it). Great review and nice to see you experimenting with HQ Player. When you can upgrade your hardware and try out some of the EC modulators and super high rate PCM. FYI, there is no known available hardware (yet) that can run EC modulators above DSD 256 and for some of the heavy filters you may also need a video card to offload the filters to. I assume you know this but I also wish to encourage people to experiment. The Computer Audiophile and Brian H 2 Link to comment

For $1,300 more you can get a Vega G1 with a legitimate analog volume control, a supposedly superior DAC and an analog input. It’s almost as if you hadn’t heard or reviewed the Vega. For many buyers, $1,300 is a lot of money. If one can afford the extra then the G1 may be the way to go. This product was obviously built to a price point so compromises are necessary. And, for many this volume control will sound just fine. Perfection is not always the goal. The Computer Audiophile, firedog and PYP 2 1 Link to comment
