Default 861 is in the house!


Well my new Graphite Meridian 861 processor has arrived and been installed. Still on two channel at the moment becasue my centre speaker has not arrived.

Now explain this to me. The 861 has the same dacs as my 808i.2. I don't even use those dacs, I use the ones in the speakers.

The card based tecnology is identical to the 808i.2.

WHY does it sound better?????!!!!! (not that I'm complaining )

howie

You are early too Bro!

Thats my usual ritual. Go to bed at almost 1 am or 1.30 am and wakes up at 4.30 am to 4.45 on weekdays. And a "power nap" from 11.30 to 1.30 pm. Thats how I earn my keep and to be able to afford all my toys. The only time I catches up with sleep is during the weekends.

Of course, the other sleeping times would be during vacation where I get to sleep till 10 am!
