I had an excellent demo session today from Nintronics - these seem a great dealer with a huge variety of excellent quality kit - providing me with an outstanding demo service today - no pressure and nothing was too much trouble,
I wasnt there to demo the Dave but I asked them to put it on for me - using a Oppo 105 transport, Dave as the Dac and pre amp into a Classe sigma 5 channel power amp into first Monitor Audio PL100 Mk2 then Kef Reference 3.
It was literally a 5 minute demo - that was all it took - I listened to a song I heard today about 5 times today and in my life 50 times.
Age old cliche - there was detail I never heard before - I literally mean it resolved background noises so clearly that they were part of the presentation. This is stuff I have never heard before - not even remotely heard before or background sound I couldnt make out - literally presented sounds I didnt know were in the recording. Wow moment really.
Also the soundstage had great depth beyind the speakers and clarity but smooth with lovely decay around the notes.
5 Minutes was punishment enough, I didnt want to hear anymore, I know I wont have that at home so no point hearing any more, better off not to - Outstanding, no wonder WHF praised it up so much
