Nagra HD Preamp, Organic Reference Cables, Kharma Elegance S7 Loudspeakers

By Art Dudley| 2019-04-14T23:13:24+00:00 April 14th, 2019|Categories: Stereophile|

What a difference a change of venue and cabling makes. In the Nagra room at CES, the sound was silvery, glistening, open, and mesmerizing. Here, with smaller Kharma Elegance S7 loudspeakers ($18,000) and mid-priced copper-based Organic Reference cabling that uses a fiber dielectric, the sound was more toned down but no less compelling.

Listening solely to LP, we began with Reference Recordings’ issue of the Chicago Pro Musica performing Stravinsky’s L’Histoire du Soldat. Contrasting colors were satisfying, and the soundstaging impressive indeed.… Read the full article

New Digital From NAD & Nagra – CES 2019

By AudioHead| 2019-01-22T20:31:14+00:00 January 22nd, 2019|Categories: Audiohead|Tags: Audio Events, CES 2019, DAC, M10, NAD, nagra, Sources|

Two of the digital highlights from CES this year came in the form of the all-in-one M10 NAD streamer ($2,499) and new Nagra DAC X ($64,500). Both releases were securely lodged to the trimmed 29th floor of the Venetian in Las Vegas and made for interesting talking points, even though they clearly target two different markets.

The new DAC updated from Nagra includes a separate power supply and a custom delta sigma chipset. Along with a custom USB design, the Switzerland-based manufacturer decked out the internals with a total of 37 individual power supplies for everything on the inside.… Read the full article

Nagra CDP CD Player Review & Test

By AVHub| 2018-10-21T20:06:00+00:00 October 21st, 2018|Categories: AV Hub|

Expert review and test of the Nagra CDP CD Player by Australian Hi-Fi Magazine. Free pdf download included.

Nagra’s CDP player is like no other CD player you have seen before, because the front panel display is built into the CD drawer, the front of which does not close flush with the front panel, as with most drawer-style CD mechanisms, but sits proud of it. It’s also small… so small that the face of the remote control is almost larger than the front of the CDP.… Read the full article

Ye Olde Editor contemplating the mysteries of life and audio…

(Photograph by John Robinson)

Back in the winter of 2017 (HERE in Issue 94), I shared my evaluation of the Sound Galleries SGM2015 reference-level Music Server. Since a music server cannot be reviewed without also considering either an internal or downstream DAC, my comments had to be about the hybrid of the SGM2015 with the first DAC that we had in to go with it: The T+A DAC8 DSD. It was capable of 8x DSD (DSD512), and certainly did a great job.… Read the full article
