I really like the detailed sound you're getting in source direct mode! 👏 I wonder if the Mission LX-2 MKII speakers which are bright, would make a good pair with this amp. I like good highs and lows. The Mission are more than able to express nice highs without causing fatigue. Bass drivers are small, which seem to be a good option with the Denon. How would you characterise the Denon sound in terms of being neutral or warm? I read you had too much bass because your speakers have big drivers, just the opposite of mine. Would you recommend this amp for someone on a tight budget? Thanks in advance for your help! Great work with your videos. Just subscribed!
@HiFiSB5 күн бұрын
Thanks. I appreciate your feedback. Denon seems like good match for your speakers because it has rich bass. I believe that it's great match for speakers that lack lower extension.

@burakkarademir : I use Cambridge's DacMagic and to my ears it sounds better than the CXA61's internal DAC. I put my TV through the DAC and it works, well, like magic. I have Cambridge's AXC 35 CD player that I use as a CD transport, also putting it through the external DAC. My research says that for an amp at the CXA61 level, there is little point in going too crazy with the external DAC because the CXA61 probably won't be able to resolve the finer details anyway. I am very happy with my modest (and affordable) system.

It seems that the Cambridge beefs up every song and it is not to my liking, the sound is not clear enough. Rotel and Marantz do that better, but the Cambridge sounds more musical, like the Marantz all beit a little more laid back. I tend to go for the Marantz in this comparision, but I think I would never buy one of these, nor the beefy and boxy sounding speakers. There are way better speakers and way better amps. Take an all in one from T+A or AVM for instance, musicality is better, clearness and resolution too, bass also superb sounding and mid range very good. Put a couple of second hand speakers to the set and you are good to go. They will make any speaker sound good. These all in ones will crush any separate amplifier/streamer/dac combination for up to 25K. The English sound is done for folks.

Denon baš ima izražen bas. Od svih pojačala koje sam imao kod sebe Denon ima najviše basa. Dosta dobar izbor za nekog tko voli takav zvuk. Ja sam ipak više ljubitelj neutralnog zvuka tako da se Denon nije dugo zadržao kod mene upravo zbog naglašenog basa. Ali na neke zvučnike koji su malo tanji u basu bi bio izvrstan odabir. Moji Silveri imaju dosta velike drivere i ne treba potencirati bas područje.
