Was the previous clip of the dCS Varesse an odd one out? Okay, found another,
Oh dear ... takes me back to the old days of in your face demos, where the setup was hitting me with everything it had - might be impressive, to some ... but it ain't music - to my ears, 😉.
I was interested to hear what the dCS Varese setup being introduced was like, with all the hype about it - and this is the first video capturing a sense of the setup, performing over a range of music, that I've come across:
Hmmm ... for me, too much 'hifi' in the presentation ... also looked at it on our new TV, which does a nice job with audio ... nope! Bev said it all, with a grimace of distaste ... "That's not good!!" ... 😃
Okay, aiming high ... the slightest lapse is going to be obvious - but I would have thought that better optimising would have been done by the demo group; to 'prove' what was possible ...
I'm sure better captures will emerge ... shame this one didn't come up to what I was expecting.
Had to put this one up ... !! 😃
Perfectly demonstrates how a well organised setup so easily projects a "You are there" experience,
Would be hard to find fault, here - 👍.
The Wadax Studio Player is showing the way towards a more reasonable (???) cost for a digital processor that doesn't mess up the SQ ... but no guarantees! The whole system has to be thoroughly debugged for it present a clean rendition of a more complex recording - and the following is an example:
When the going gets 'robust', at about 2/3rds of the way through, onward ... it's heavy going! It becomes a endurance test; the system in the video has issues, and having a top notch DAC, etc, in the chain is not saving it ...
Latest audio show in Munich shows how far we've come in a few years - plenty of clips on YouTube demonstrating very good qualities in the sound able to be conjured up, with 'better' gear. This one stood out,
In particular, this points out why I laugh when people say you need a surround system to get an immersive experience ... the clip makes it obvious how the sound "fills the room", from just two, miserable speakers, 😄. This is how it works - with capable replay ...
And, on the other end, good, competent SQ ...
Can't hear a thing wrong, here.
Oh, dear ... the gear used ticks the boxes, but, the sound?!! An example of where just buying the right stuff doesn't guarantee a good outcome ...
Yes, some aspects are good - but I couldn't live with what this is producing, 😑.
