Nagra REFERENCE Amp
- Thread starter Zeotrope
- Start date
Hi. No, not yet. They were supposed to ship a week or so ago, but I’m told that they will now ship next week. Apparently, assembly and testing is taking a bit longer than anticipated.
I am using the HD DAC X with a Taiko Extreme. I’ll ask what it costs to upgrade to the REF DAC; but will try to refrain from spending more money
.
Let me know what you think when you hear the REF amps next to the HD.

Looking forward to your assessment of the Ref Amps. I currently have the HD Amps but ordered the Ref amps and hope to get them in January. As in your case trust Nagra, have been happy with their HD line and Ref TT.
Yes, I'm delighted to share we received our demo unit and are currently the only ones in the USA with such!...@Zeotrope Curious if you got your Ref amp and pre yet? My dealer ordered the Ref amps, so I'll get to hear them side by side vs my HD. Pretty sure I know the answer though
Also getting curious on the Ref DAC vs my Vivaldi....
It's sounding great over here right now -- just walked in having played content through the NAGRA REF PREAMP continuously from Thu-Fri and on over weekend, and, well, wow! So natural, so open, right-on in every way imaginable. The immediacy, openness, focus, timing/flow, all of that and more is where things are at right now. Sounds like you've got a lot to be excited about I'd say!
Re the DAC side of things, we represent both NAGRA & dCS. Both are a best in class with their respective offerings. Either of them will be a great choice and coupling in context of integration to an all NAGRA rest of system. Obviously, NAGRA have still yet to release the REF DAC, so there's that to factor in. It will be down to personal preference when that time comes around.

Hi Dave,-- we don't have the NAGRA HD PRE here to do a direct comparison with the all-new REF PRE. However, we're proper right into what the REF PRE is already doing for us several days in I'm glad to share. Things are sounding stupendously good for us here in Brooklyn.
