Munich high-end show 2016: Who here is going?

[Barry2013]

How about we try to get together on Friday evening to compare notes so that we can catch on Saturday what we might have missed ?

With numbers, I can try to book something.

Brenner Grill is already fully booked for Friday night !

That is a very helpful offer and if we are going to get together over a meal we we'll need to move quickly.
Dinner Friday night 7.30 - 8.00pm would be good. but I'm not a fan of German cuisine which hopefully is not a problem for anybody else.
So yes count me in

 

[Sencha]

I'm in too as I wasn't able to go last year. Food on fridaynight sounds like a great chance to meet all of you guys.

 

[beaur]

I am in. Guess we'll have to pool numbers or do it the old fashioned way!

I have been talking with BMW Welt, and it looks like I can arrange something there for the Friday evening. There are several food options on which I am collecting information.

For those of you who have not been there, it's quite a place and lots to see for car lovers

I am also looking in to the possibility of what might be arrange able for us music lovers

I will be going to the Munich show this year (and this year only).

I would be delighted to meet in person any WBF members who also are going!

If you don't spend a minimum of 2 hours in the Western Electric/Silbatone room on the 1st floor, I am not talking to you again.

I promise I will! One reason I am going to this show is for horn immersion therapy!

That's not just a horn. It's the first speaker ever made, with drivers by Bell Labs using loads of R&D spend for sound quality instead of WAF looks.

If you like it, you won't like the rest of the hifi. If you don't then fine.

I am very curious to hear it. (I am not as "white and black" as you are. I might like the Western Electric (for certain things), but still like planars as well (for other things).)

I like planars too. Wait till you see the overpriced gear in the rest of the rooms with fantasy price tags and poor SQ in many cases

I would like to go, but will not spend 3,000.00 to go. No show is worth spending this kind of money when I can go to Axpona, Rocky Mountain , CES. Those shows cost less than 1,000.00 to go to.

For Hotel I am paying Euro 140 a night at the Pullman Munich, booked this week

 

[Jeffy]

Ok so this would be 2400 for 4 days and flight. Still too much for an audio show.

Thanks to forum members here, I called up BMW Welt and discovered that a 160 m2 space was available for Friday night. A quick call to Geoffrey Armstrong at Sound Galleries in Monaco, and he gave me the green light to organize an event at BMW Welt to launch the Sound Galleries Music Server

With this space we should be able to achieve a very good sound. Public visiting time will be from 2pm till 7pm. Then there is ticketed event from 7:30 to 9 pm with food and drinks

Both the T+A PDP-3000HV and the T+A DAC 8 DSD will be showing their sonic abilities being driven at DSD 512 by the Sound Galleries Music Server doing realtime PCM to DSD 512, and DSD 64 to DSD 512 using HQ Player

I will be visiting Munich next week to finalize the arrangements, and the special food and drink prices for What's Best forum and Computer Audiophile members.

Hope to see you there, it should be fun and a sonic delight

That's great.
Interestingly I've got a T+A PDP 3000 HV arriving in the next week or two for a home audition.
Have heard extremely good reports on it.

What's your current DAC and Player software - computer system
?

 

[Barry2013]

What's your current DAC and Player software - computer system
?

My digital is a DCS Puccini/Scarlatti but(and see the Vivaldi thread) I am auditioning a Scarlatti Transport and DAC with my clock.
It's impressive but I will try the T+A before deciding.
I don't do a lot of downloading at the moment and mainly play discs.
The rest of my system is on my profile.

Cheers
