Usher Audio V601

Nice review and a nicer song selection, Alcy! Have you tried Wings For Marie I and II? They have a ton of layers and detail that should bring out the best in your system.

heh, yes, which tool album/song doesn't have layers and immense details ? But now that you mention it, I have an excuse to listen to them again !

Haha, many thanks for the review ! I honestly kept thinking that I asked you for it, but kept doubting myself ! will go through the review

This is coming from "Better late than never department" : Your patience has been well rewarded. In case you have missed it see the mini-review here >> http://www.hifivision.com/reviews/3...t-pre-power-amp-yamaha-s2000-sacd-player.html



Here's one entry-level combo that can make the Usher V-601 sing better than anything at its price-point IMHO...

Analog out of Asus Xonar ST soundcard modded with AD797 BRZ opamps (@10k~) fed straight into power-amp section of NAD 326 Integrated amp* (@ 32k ~) or Norge power amp (@ 22k~). Use digital volume control of Xonar to control volume. (FM's may contact me for clarification /details if reqd)



*This NAD's power-section is stonking great (especially bass -heft) at its price! it's pre-section is a let-down in low-level details.
