The ODAC will sound more transparent than the Cirrus Logic CS4398.

want to change my avr to 6007 or 6008 but i think i'll stick with my LX 56 at the moment...

I am using 3x Emerald Physics EP100.2SE for left, right and center, setup as monoblock for each channel

Hi sifu's I'm an absolute newbie who just wanted to get an entry level hifi set. I care more about music and couldn't care less about the boom and bang while watching movies. This is what I've set my eyes on:
Bowers & Wilkins 685 S2
Marantz PM + CD 6005
Would there be any major fallback with this set up?
I am also not sure if I want to use CD as my main source but I don't know what I can get if I have more digital source. Thanks in advance!

fm radio quite good with normal avr.
much better than car since we use expensive spkr & floorstander at home.

but most channel play repeatly hitz song only... program kurang puas

do u mean local online radio or other country? pls introduce some to me

Wah... That's my dream amp...     

For any unknown reason that you not happy with the amp and want to downgrade to the PM6005 with built-in DAC, just PM me and I am willing to exchange anytime. 

Btw, how much you paid for this beast? 

any pm7005 user here? and any pm8005 user?
can give comment to pm8005?
i checked singapore price is very tempting.
PM7005 = SGD1100
PM8005 = SGD1250

stylelaser price which i found from mudah
PM7005 = RM5299
PM8005 = RM6299

as i m planning to match it with Dali Zensor 3, but this is not the final decision yet.
because i not sure it match with the marantz amp or not

PM6005 + PM7005 has built in DAC. I bought the PM6005 also for its value for money (built in DAC). However, my experince with the PM6005 built in DAC is just so-so-okay-type experince (maybe 2.5 stars out of 5 stars). In other words, a good seperate DAC or streamer with DAC or SACD with streamer is kind of unavoidable if you want overal good results.

My PM6005 (2 units) built-in DAC sound harsh, especially with bright speakers. And certainly not smooth to enjoy (music domain). Once I have the NA8005 as my music stream and DAC, I finally got the sound that I can hardly complain (maybe details not as much as the Saber). The sound is so much better now... But always remember to get OCC interconnect cables for between amp and DAC. It might cost a bit, but the sound is really more than noticable differences.

em, i am planning to get a network receiver too. how is the sound quality streaming using wifi? OCC Cable? OCC is the brand or?

Finally join the club. road trip to singapore. $1200 include GST. 

not yet buy, style laser cheras got.
that day i went to try, they match it with ki-pearl lite.
i was amaze by the quality so much. 

What made you choose PM8005 over ki-pearl lite?

Do note that with good amp and speaker, speaker cable make huge differences... PM8005 is certainly a great amp. 

Good speaker cable is multi-grade (for different freq response) where the high freq portion must be handled by OCC.

For speaker cables, I am using Monster M2.4S for both my Stereo system. And both my system support bi-wiring. Just nice.

To my ears, my monster cable is way better than most of my friends cables.... The more sensitive your ears, the more you can appreciate. And no need run-in time, you can tell immediately with huge improvement.

Initially I know nothing about OCC vs OFC thing. I also never believe in speaker cables as I never hear anything great when my friend told me his cable costing over thousand ringgit. Same thing from shop. Nothing amazed.

But when I first heard the sound from the Monster 2.4S, I was amazed by its sound like high end DAC. And it actually confussed me for many days. I cannot understand how could a cable change the sound so much. It was far more than just freq response. The higher pitch was so smooth and polished... And it has no DSP, cross over nor any components... Just cables.. It make my sound system like upgraded to different class. So smooth... And I was so curious to find the magic formula behind and keep searching. Then only months later, I found the secret incredent should be the OCC used for high freq part.

After you had experinced multi-gauge speaker cables with OCC for high freq (it mean very thick cable), you can tell one speaker cables from another if they have OCC. It is so obvious.

IMHO, you better settle for other speaker instead of LS50; it's a very good speaker but I don't think Pearl Lite amp will do it justice, and I know very darn well as I'm having the very same setup before.😊
