“I’m always in awe of the fact I cannot detect nothing but music that comes by way of the Daedalus Ulysses V.2 ($16k) multi-driver loudspeaker. Like the Legacy Audio speakers, I just have a problem staring at multiple drivers thinking I can hear something out of sorts. But I cannot and am not ashamed to admit it. In fact, the Daedalus sound as sensitive to the soft passages of a song as they do when recreating loud dynamic shifts. This was my first time hearing the Purity Audio Design Reference pre and PSE300 mono amp combo ($15k/$22k) sourced through a Modwright Elyse DAC ($7k) using a modified Oppo 105D CD player. The system was wired with Dynamic Design‘s new [Titania AE15] series cables throughout and our own Bill Wells was quite impressed by the performance of their AC cords ($2,500 – review forthcoming). I left this suite very impressed by the overall ease and delicate flow of the music and the choice of the music selection as well. There’s no denying that there exists a synergy these components provide that even some loftier priced systems here at the show could not match.”
