Wow - was für ein Klang. Tolles Setup.

Vielen Dank! :-)

Applaud your choice of music my friend. You had to have done a fantastic job recording that track, it sounds exquisite on my headphones. Clearly the system itself is great as well. Love that CZcams NOW has a channel that demonstrates what dedicated enthusiasts can bring to showing off elite sound systems. The lazy channels are going to have to up their game to be relevant. Listening to their 30 minute talk recordings does nothing compared to your 3:05 music recording effort. Cheers HiFi Immersion! :)

Sounds fabulous. All your videos with Cascade DAC are sounding great. What are your impressions about it? As as aside, the live version of Sound of Silence from their Central Park concert is also wonderful, both musically and also as a test track....lots of low level detail and great vocals as always. Thanks for sharing

[@HiFiImmersion]

We recorded the Central Park one way back. czcams.com/video/PbyO6Hwg12U/video.html We understand that we used Hailey 2.2i at the time. The sonic improvement with Cascade DAC is significant. We had thought that we were already at the zenith of digital playback, but apparently not. Thank you for watching. :-)

Interesting track, tough to do well. It’s a loud boomy track. This is certainly one of the most articulate versions and reproductions. Still not quite real…

[@HiFiImmersion]

Thank you for your comment, but we don't understand what you mean by loud boomy track nor not quite real though. Are we talking about the same album?

Disturbed does it better 😊
