TeeJay, good job again. Here is a tip: If you want to take your Aeres II to the next level, Venus II level, contact Ian Canada. He has an upgrade clock that’s far better than most clocks on the market. But you would need to be able to solder with a very fine solder tip.

You convinced me. Going Burson V7 in my Dayzee. Geshelli is the king for DAC under 2k. Can’t get behind the Aries. Sound. In my system Seems too much wasn missing. Unnatural to my ears. Bass is kinda all over like the imaging was for me. Image is just all together. Can hear layers a little, not as well defined or etched as Geshelli. Can see how some like it. Depend on gear and way they listen. I have loaded GR research, they excel at imagining once you hear great imaging you can’t go back.

@@tee-jaythestereo-bargainph2120 Thanks the quick reply Tee Jay . I’ve owned the burson for six months, picked it up on super sale. I also bought the super charger power supply ( open box) so I’m into it for about 650. I’m looking to get the V7’s put in there but thinking about putting two v7 vivid and two v7 classic. It might give the dac the perfect blend of detail and organic texture to the sound. I’m glad to hear you think the burson is the middle between the two dacs, that’s pretty much what I’m looking for. Do think the v7’s made the sound staging wide or deeper, better overall?

@fletchermunson6225 yeah. I first saw the Cyber sale price on US Audiomart a couple days ago. The drivers/tweeters he uses is what intrigued me. Better or at least more expensive than anything one gets in a mainstream type speaker at his price. And then I read just a little about the crossover circuit he uses. No capacitors & apparently no phase issues. I'd like to see some objective data on them to see what that crossover is really doing.

I have a bias, I had a small high end audio cable business in the 80s and 90s. It was an uphill battle trying to get dealers. It was pre internet. Then there were maybe a dozen cable makers now there are probably a couple hundred. Fritz makes a superior product but swims uphill against the tide. Not too many of the designer/owner guys left. All corporate and Chinese made now. I like to support guys like that. I own Rogue and Belles. All made in the US.
