Thank you!. Usher Rack... I think It was 29k three years back.

This setup is a must experience for openness, speed and live like sound. More importantly with spatial correction, there is absolutely no bass overhang, no boom even at higher volumes

Cheers

Really nice arrangement . Expensive gears but with humble and simple presentation. It must be playing music with soul.

Very nice setup Sameer. Appreciate more details/pics on the DIY bass traps.

Sridhar, would love to listen to a spatial computer based setup. Please let me know whenever you happen to setup one next in Bangalore. TIA.

Congrats Sameer. I've been fortunate to hear the Spatial Computer + Emerald Physics combo and it was super impressive. Excellent detail and soundstage and for lack of a better word very "enveloping".

You must be very happy enjoying this sound on a daily basis!

Awesome setup! I have had the good fortune to listen to this setup and it is neutral, warm, open and dynamic. The combination of spatial audio and prism is just amazing, and the prism orpheus is the best sounding DAC I have heard period. Also the open baffle EP speakers perform very well by disappearing entirely and throwing a wide and deep soundstage.
The kraftwerk integrated is in an entirely different league and IMO is the backbone of this setup.
Cheers,
Sid

Yes, it is one of the best DAC money can buy and at approx $5k for new its great value of money for the features it has.

They are launching newer even more affordable version called Lyra1&2 which is getting released in November aiming at small studio and home mixing environment.

DREAM DA-2 is their top of the line and if true the source is what one needs then the search will end with DREAM DA-2.
