Hi there!
Close to one year after my previous post in this forum - I will update my status. And I will tell you about my testing of two other speakers.
My current setup:
BURMESTER 113 dac - 808 MK5 pre - 956 MK2 amp
MARTIN LOGAN MONTIS speakers - PARADIGM SIGNATURE SUB 1 subwoofers
QNAP...
Hi Rich
I had Burmester integrated amps for more than 10 years. I loved this sound. Not dry in my ears...
I am sure the Pass amps I use have plenty of mid body. I think the body is lost because my Burmester pre is not matching x260.5. Could this be the case, anyone?
In January I will test a Burmester amp. If it works, I will replace my Pass Labs with a Burmester amp.
I prefer Burmester before Pass Labs. Pass Labs is not available in my country. I have to but a Pass pre from Denmark. My setup is in my living room. Burmester looks better than Pass - in my eyes.
I currently own Pass Labs X260.5, Burmester 099 pre with dac, Montis and two Paradigm Sub 1. And Nordost Frey 2 XLR and speaker cables.

Now I am very satisfied with the sound. The subs are incredible. My sofa is shaking...
Hi Northy!
Yes, I will share my sound impressions with you on this forum. I hope my equipment show up in two or three weeks.
And about nothern Norway... The whole of my country is really "nothern". I live in the southern part of it. Close to Oslo where I have my work. The nothern part of...
All my music is server files - flac and some mp3. The current HDP-4 has no USB input. But such a card is soon available. I will put one in if it works better than the toslink input.
The DEQX dealer will install and tune this unit. The purchase includes two home visits - three hours each time. And he has promised me to make it sound very good. And since I know him quite well - I think this will work.
