AMR DP-777 Klasse A, Stereophile, mars - 2012!

AMR DP-777 er en av ytterst få High-End DACer i verden som nå er rangert i klasse A Stereophile. Selve "bibelen" for Hi-fi frelste. Etter at den fikk en særdeles god test i Stereophile No. 3, mars 2012.

Her er noen utdrag fra testen:

"The DP-777´s characteristic sound was one of openness, a generous sense of scale, detail without artifice, and a barley perceptible but undeniably consistent timbral warmth."

"...its sound quality was nothing less than revelatory."

"And that´s not to mention the texture and tone of the cellos, and the near-physicality of singer Melora Creager´s exaggerated vibrato, all of which were stunning."

"Orchestral music sounded especially grand through the AMR."

"The pleasantly brisk second theme of the first movement had far greater temporal energy through the AMR than through my reference converter, a Wavelength Proton USB DAC. Woodwinds and brass popped out of the thick orchestration in much the same manner I´m used to hearing live. String tone was luscious. And the intensity of the timpani was brilliant throughout."

"...Leslie-amplified guitar, and the track maintained a human, organic feel overall."

"The sheer openness with which the AMR played the recent 96kHz version of George Harrison´s All Things Must Pass was also impressive. Even "Run of the Mill" - the worst-sounding track on the album, for some strange reason - sounded less edgy, less congested, more open, and all together more human through the AMR than through any other DAC at my disposal."

"Driven from the transport of my Sony SCD-777, the DP-777 sounded distinctly warmer and more detailed than any of the Sony´s filters, with greater musical nuance."

"With music of every sort, it seemed, the AMR provided more of a sense of touch, more momentum, more involvement than other converters."

"For me, the AMR DP-777 was more than a plesant distraction, more than just an escape from the humdrum; it provided some of the very best digital sound I´ve heard.

"Strongly recomended".
