Hello,
This is Mounarshi. I am from Kolkata. I bought a diamond 121 recently from Utsav, WattEffects.He was most helpful. I am driving through a Cambridge audio azur 351a amp/dac(which I bought from him) through pc and foobar(ASIO output). However am seeing that when am playing any song with a lot of instruments (Metallica S&M, Linkin Park-the Hunting Party, Poets of the Fall-Temple of Thoughts), the sound is congested and a bit too warm. The aggressiveness is lacking. For Ghazals,Solos,acoustic music everything sounds good. I am using the Noise Sharpener DSP apart form the Foobar Graphic EQ.
Is it owing to the fact that the speakers need a lot of time to break in? I tried the xlo reference cd for burning and played it for around 45 mins (track 9). Do I need a better usb DAC like the Schiit Modi? (Am using Bandridge 2.5mm speaker cables, Bandridge USB Cable) . Or should I purchase a dedicated CDP to get the most of my system? I purchase original music cds and am currently using the FLAC files encoded by EasyAudioExtractor to play from my PC.
Thanks,
Mounarshi.
