![]() ![]() I didn't realize it was past lunchtime, and as I walked down the hall, I noticed someone holding four boxes of Zoli's pizza, which is my favorite pizza in Dallas. The ZMF room was full of headphones, amps, and dacs, and there was lots of energy in the room. Since I have some Verite Open's and the Pendant SE, I took a few minutes to thank Zach for my one-of-a-kind ZMF headphones. I could have spent the whole day in the DCS room. DCS also had lots of high-end headphones, including the Susvara, Abyss TC, LCD5, Meze Elites, and others. All day I used my DCA Stealth's as my reference headphone and as I moved up the chain, the Stealth continued to be more resolving with the DCS systems. I listened to the same song about 20 times comparing all three. I spent a long time with the Lina stack, the Bartok (with Apex and headphone amp) and the Rossini (with the Lina Amp). Everyone there was very helpful and humble about such expensive gear. Not surprisingly, the scaler makes a significant difference. Since I use a Hugo 2 as the DAC in my main system, I really enjoyed the chance to test out the Dave with and without the scaler. Then I ended up at the Chord booth for a long time, trying out the Dave and the TT Scaler and had a nice long conversation with Rob Watts. I liked the DX320 Max a bit more than my DX300, but it was only slightly better. I also had a chance to compare the DX320 Max with my personal DX300 Max. When CanJam opened at 10AM, I started at the Bloom Audio booth and was one of the lucky ones who got a B/A goodie bag. ![]() ![]() Although Focal and Hifiman didn't have exhibits, I found a Utopia and Susvara to audition. Everything under the sun wasn't there, but for me, it covered more than I could handle in one full day. ![]() I had high hopes, but it was even more fun and engaging than I expected.īefore I jump into the day, just wanted to respond to one of the questions about Focal and Susvara. I strongly urge anyone in DFW who didn't attend today to attend tomorrow. ![]()
