“I dragged the wife up to New York for three nights of the four night Phish run at Madison Square Garden. Great nights of good old American rock and roll with this popular “jamband”. Two days after being back to work in Florida I downloaded all four nights in 49KHz-24bit. As instructed by the iFi tutorial I playback with JRiver up sampling to DSD X2 to iFi USB2 > iDSD and the result is amazing. I was in the 7th row, dead center on the first night and the sound I get in my living room is ten times better. Of course a lot of the credit goes to the engineering of the recording, but I’m remain blown away, like the guy in the lazy-boy recliner (1980’s era) Maxell tape poster. I did in fact bribe my secret-Santa and scored a used pair of B&W 802 Diamonds as an upgrade from the 12 year old B&W 803 Nautilus mains at home, with the iFi iDSD as the source it’s the best system I’ve ever heard. I know you guys get to hear and sample many rigs, I’ll put mine up against anything in a Pepsi challenge as long as iFi can be my source. It sounds great with the Oppo disc player as well, but sunglasses are needed when iFi is the source….so clean and accurate.”
Thanks Ethan!
