Restek are the unknown high end audio bargain imo. Two reasons they are little known in UK. They can be inconsistent in responding to dealers and dealers get fed up. The other simply being most people have never had the opportunity to listen to their stuff. There pre power and epos Cd are off the charts just f....g amazing. But no one in UK gets to hear them unless you go to Munich show.
However there are people like myself that don't really bother with anything else. Not that there isn't good stuff out there but not as good value imo.
Hi there hiesteem,
we got in touch last year, I was interested in an Epos cd player used.
But I decided to buy another YBA cd player, the top of the line CD1 Sigma with two external power supplies. If sounds amazing. But....I have always in mind the Epos....I would like to try it compared to my YBA....
I found another one used in Germany, it's the Epos. It should be upgraded to Epos+. the upgrade costs 500 euro.
I wrote to Restek and they always reply after only a couple of hours.
Do you know if using the Epos+ as a dac with digital inputs, should be the same as quality of the sound of using a MDAC+ ?
The benefit of the Epos+ is that the dac works until 24/192 kS.
thanks
P.S. It's strange also that the concrete cd player has an external power supply , while the Epos does not have an external, only internal
P.S.2 my idea is to try another kind of sound, always transparent and faithful towards the recordings, but possibly with more body and weight. Without sacrificing the details , the refinement of the sound...could be the best "Wadia" sound , to explain?
Soundstage and most of all the DEPTH of the soundstage is maybe the most important thing for me, too.
And I suppose that the Epos could go towards this direction.
