Jeff, congrats on the Marantz streamer. Looking forward to hearing more about it.
After re-reading some of this post I realized I should tell y’all I FINALLY pulled the trigger on an Axiom Transformer. Still getting acquainted with it but I’m liking what I hear. It’s a very tangible difference for the better. Especially when playing Tidal via the axiom app at 24/44khz.
I’m still trying to put words to it but it’s just, better. It’s smoother. Pleasing. Better than before at lower volume, things focus easily. I’ll report back more.
Embracing the technology, it takes patience. There is something to be said for just owning “ the disk “ and put it “ in the machine “.
