Thanks, guys, for the very targeted, coherent conversation about Bill's set-up, and the very relative observations about his stereo. Since Bill copped that he is 78, I will tell that I am 76, and I understand and appreciate his measured approach to all this. I also really appreciate that Bill is in it for the Music, because otherwise, who cares? Not to mention any names, but the "well-known audio bloggers" just got smoked!
Best regards,
Paul S

Was looking on line to see how Trinnov changed the adc/dacs inside the altitude and found this rather interesting video. Bill, Romy, does any of this ring true?

Anthony, I have really nothing to say on this as I do not have this unit. The gentleman who made this video sound quite reasonable, and it is highly possible that everything that he says is accurate. Methodologically however, I feel that direct a/b comparing between two or more devices is very demonstrable but not necessary a very objective way to observe the differences. Again, no criticism what he is saying.
Another interesting point. As much as I hate digital processing. I need to admit that when Bill's system sounded in his best. I did not detect issues that I would attribute to bad digital sound. Could it be better with different DACs? Only God knows as it will be completely different system. I do not know what version you have but since you going to be running only your surround channels from Ternov I do not think that you need to lose your sleep.

I bought the new converters last fall. Definite improvement. I believe all new altitude units have them. Price was reasonable for the16 I had installed. If you are getting an older unit you have to upgrade all 16 or 32 channels.

Yes, my Trinnov is brand new with the all the current bits.
My thoughts with that video were towards the conundrum of what has clicked to get your system to its current level of performance. When I was watching the video I thought there were several parallels between what the guy described as the differences with the new dac boards and those relatively recent improvements to your system as discussed by yourself and Romy. Part of the puzzle for sure, but it would be nice to figure out the catalyst for things falling into place with your system.

There have been too many changes in my system over the past three months to say what was significant. The new dacs were from the fall before Romy noticed the significant improvement so they may have helped but not the main cause. I think it’s the combination of everything that coalesced in an unknown manner. I do know that without his guidance I never would have achieved it. Just wish I had started listening to him when I was in my 50's and not close to 80. I do know that the. Trinnov made a significant difference, but so did Romy’s guidance to the Vitavox drivers and his ampx amplifiers.
