In the Thread: The Lavry Gold DA924 ++
Post Subject: The playbook is played well - I am anxiously waiting…Posted by Romy the Cat on: 4/5/2008

With all magnificence of the new 924++ DAC it have entered the second week of the Nichicon KZ playbook. It was completely predictable and highly expected and now the DAC sound very funny.

The bass is fully developed already. The DA924 always was phenomenal (in fact beyond phenomenal) lower bass performer but it never had reach upper bass. Now the DA924’s new full bass is nothing short of another world. I it so reach and so acoustically slow that I do feel that it is the only DAC that equal in bass performance to my analog setup. The very lower bass is also got with DA924++ even more scarier. The best lover bass from DAC I ever heard in my room was from Spectral 2000 – that DAC had Bass!!! The DA924++ bass even more diabolic. I was listing today Brahms Violin Concerto with Bernstein leading Wiener Philharmoniker. It is where microphones were positioned in “opera” configuration and picked the Gidon Kremers and Bernstein’s foot movements. This performance is truly wonderful and I love it for years in addition this recoding is a good illustration of the “really deep bass”. If you want to hear how the entire Wiener stage response to the articulate Leonard Bernstein’s jumps then here is your chance. The DA924++ cares this bass with the force of submarine exposure - it sounds like somebody in the fifth floor of my building dropped a refrigerator….

However, according to the Nichicon KZ playbook the second week of KZ’s burning shell obliterates imaging… and it is exactly what my new DA924++ does now. Now the DAC has only extreme right and extreme left imaging with no connection between right and left. They are just two different worlds that refuse to talk to each other. This is normal and it should continue for the next 3 weeks…

I am anxiously waiting…
