Conrad Johnson probably needs no introduction, making outstanding tube and solid state electronics since the 70s. The ET-5 Triode preamp and LP-125SA tube amp rated at 125w/ch will be used. The Soekris DAC1541 is a new product from Denmark utilizing advanced surface mount technology to offer a far more affordable true ladder DAC that is also DSD compatible. The Audioquest Dragonfly Red DAC now includes full MQA support, so we will be able to listen and compare the same audio track from Tidal with and without MQA. Please review the links above for more information. Our thanks to Joe Galanti in preparing for what should be a great meeting. Look forward to seeing all of you this Sunday. See you all Sunday!
