Post Subject: What to do with Pacific Microsonics?Posted by Romy the Cat on: 3/5/2008
Since Pacific lost it’s battle to Lavry AD122 as AD converter I was wondering what I might do with this possessor. My initials sentiment was to sell but Pacific to my large surprise turned out to be a very good CD-level DAC. In fact it is so good 16Bit DAC that only this fact made me do not let the Pacific go.
Pacific certainly, very much like Bidat is not a champion in the LF and HF extremes –and it is one of the reasons why it is sound so phenomenally musical. The Morons are accustomed to that barbaricly – extended, edgy, Black-Gate fucked, syntactic sound of HF and LH distortions and brutality. Pacific (similar to Bidat) has none of it and have completely different presentation. I have no Bidat now and play Pacific – what a wonderful DAC. BTW, Pacific is MUCH more immuned to bad electricity then Bidat.
I think if not Bidat then I would invest some efforts to disconnect the AD part of the Pacific and would enable it to run 24/7, using it as a primary Red Book DAC
