SMAC June 2009

I think Dennis mentioned wanting to hear the Benchmark so its probably a good idea.

By the way welcome to AK.
 
Won't be making this one. Forgot about a wedding and have family in from out of town. Will definitely make the next one.
 
Got the DACMAGIC and it seems to work well.

Dennis, are you planing on comparing the DACs using your computer as a source?

I have no cables other than the USB. If anyone has any used digital/optical cables laying around I may be interested in purchasing so I can play around with the DAC and some old CD players I have laying around. So far I am just using it connected to my IMAC.
 
Didn't know you had a SACD player. I'll bring some along.

Should I assume no vinyl today ?
 
Dennis:

Thanks for hosting another SMAC meet. Had a great time. Not sure if I have any idea which DAC was better since I chatted more than I listened. The Edgarhorns look real nice now that they're refinished and mounted. We appreciate the hospitality:thmbsp:

Hey Dennis

Had my bass hungry cd picked out, had a full tank of gas, then work called. What a disappointment missing your meet:tears::tears: Talk to ya next month.

Thanks Dennis for another great meet!! Both sets of speakers sounded great yesterday, but your big JBL hybrids really are something special; I hope some gets some pics to download as they certainly look great too now that you've made that driver stand and finished the Edgar horns.

The DACs were all very interesting, but it's too bad we couldn't get them all hooked up and swappable for a real head to head shootout. I had a chance to hear at least 3, but they were in different systems with different amps, so one really couldn't judge what they specifically brought to the table. But I certainly liked what I heard, and have been began prowling around DAC threads and reviews.

Thanks again for the fine day of music friendship, food and drink!! :thmbsp:

My pleasure. I had a great time and RIGHT after the last person left, my wife and daughter walled in and started cleaning. Thanks to them I had a truly enjoyable evening.
 
i agree, a great way to spend an afternoon.... as always very pleasent and a great crowd. thanks for hosting dennis, i was really glad to talk to you breifly about the hagerman. i am thinking i'll give the octal design a try.
 
I too had to miss it because of the Downriver Cruise. I live right off the main strip and before I knew it we were having a party.
 
Yup, a very good day it was. Thanks for hosting Dennis. Those were some cool speakers too. Nice job! And thanks for letting me borrow that Gene Harris cd.

Damn, sounds like you really needed that I/O switcher. Sorry.

Actually, there was a bit of a crowd up there trying to hook things up initially.
You know, how many audiophiles does it take to swap in a DAC...:D

If its at my house then none :)

Had a good time despite the heat and the mental images of Kegger in a tutu that are still haunting me.. :eek:
