SONOS Ace vs Mark Levinson № 5909

Snapdragon Sound

[@robbyk5343]

spot on again!!.. already returned mine as it had other issues as well (like popping my drum right before losing connection-or it could be me missing the point a new feature?)

[@AnnieSpit]

Opaz, I got them and love them. Thanks for all your work and honesty. Listening to you through them.

[@opaz.]

Glad you like them 👍🏼

[@stephenwest673]

Dali io 12 and 5909 will be kings for a while yet 👍😀

[@MrKirkaudi]

So True I brought the Ace a little underwhelming. I may keep it because I have the Arc.

[@jonathanbarnes7641]

I have both of these are there any Bluetooth with better sound than the Mark and the Dali’s?

[@stephenwest673]

@@jonathanbarnes7641 not for me..i have both and love them, had the Bathys too which i really enjoyed but sold them to finance the IO 12 👍😀

[@MrKirkaudi]

@@jonathanbarnes7641 non that I know of. For right now IMO 1) Dali 2) 5909 Dali took the 1 spot from 5909 My XM5 and APM are tired APM gets an edge for superior ANC than the XM5.

[@AnnieSpit]

Love you Opaz about to order some Levinsons.

[@zajko3113]

Well said.

[@ProdigalGil]

Point well made..and my iphone stay with AAC "Lossy" even thought Apple Music streaming is Lossless - most people will be Lost!

[@tomdavis6371]

I love my 5909. I know the Focal fans love their Bathys and I've heard of the Dali and others but I love everything about the Mark Levinson offering, though it's even better sounding wired.

[@opaz.]

Yes, wired you literally have another headphone . .. a more expensive 2K headphone

[@ggdfggdfgdffgfddg34]

listen to STAX SPIRIT S5 I think they will definitely win Mark Levinson!

[@opaz.]

You"think will definitely win". Why?

[@ggdfggdfgdffgfddg34]

@@opaz. This is planar technology and not a dynamic driver. Anyone knows that planars give more detail, but less impact. A dynamic driver always sounds more natural. But higher quality is always a pursuit of details.And + there is an equalizer!

[@opaz.]

One big problem, no ANC. They also leak a lot of audio, making them the wrong choice for commuting Home use only for that price unfortunately, makes these two a better all-round choice

[@oisin_o_boyle]

Different target groups imo.
