Will I be going down the rabbit hole with DCS Vivaldi purchase?
Friends, please help me spend my money wisely!
I am contemplating getting an Apex Vivaldi DAC. Already have Aurender N30sa on order(Upgrade from A30 - streamer + DAC combo). So here is the question, after Vivaldi purchase, will I soon be "compelled" (for the lack of better word) to get the Master Clock, the Upsampler, then the interconnects, the power cords..and so on. Or, will I be content with just the Apex DAC alone, as it was originally planned? |
No, high odds you will need to go further down the rabbit hole. An in-home loaner/trial would be a good next step if available.

Well, my dealer is ordering one and letting me take it home - with "return it if you don't like and if you like wire transfer the funds" condition.
Since I will have Aurender N30sa hooked to it, I would only need to upgrade the Master clock, if I want to. No need for upsampler as the Aurender takes care of it. And I do have a very good CD player. I am feeling a bit good about this, I think! The rabbit hole is not looking that deep! |

Every person who has sent Ivan their $25 or $100, or thought about it and decided not to, is down the rabbit hole!

I have listened to a lot of DAC’s and the Vivaldi is one of a handful of true reference DAC’s that I’ve heard.
Start saving up for that clock. :) It’s nice and cozy down here. |
While at the other end of the dCS product spectrum. I got a Lina. Then demo’d the clock after about a month. The clock never went back and I can’t imagine not using it
