    First day with the Denafrips Venus II

    My Denafrips Venus 2 DAC arrived today. Wow, straight out of the box it sounds amazing. The tone is wonderfully rich, detailed, and realistic. I know it's odd to refer to a digital device as sounding "analog," but it does! Or rather, closer to real music than most traditional chip-based DACS...

    I bought this hi-res download from e-classical, who has it for 50% off. Superb playing and sound.

    What are you currently listening to (Classical)?

    This is a beautiful and dramatic violin concerto. At some 47 minutes long, I wonder how often it gets played in concert.

    What are you currently listening to (Classical)?

    I received this excellent LP today. After a steady diet of digital audio, it's nice to hear strings without any digital glare!

    What are you currently listening to (Classical)?

    A virtuoso of the first order. Haydn B minor Sonata, Beethoven "Moonlight," Brahms Paganini Variations Book 1, and Rachmaninoff Sonata No.2.

    What are you currently listening to (Classical)?

    Very powerful post-Romantic music. Think of a super-charged, more chromatic Rachmaninoff with some occasional Impressionism.

    What are you currently listening to (Classical)?

    I'm not too familiar with his music, but thanks to Qobuz I can check him out. There's some rather gritty stuff on this new release--"Octopus Rex" for 8 cellos would work as a horror movie soundtrack! Excellent sound. (24/192)
