A) Vinyl LP (assource) + your $$$$ audio gears => Great results;

B) CD (as source) +your $$$ audio gears => Good results;

C) Multi-ch DSD recording SACD (as source) + your $$ player and spks matched with a DV-6Camp => Best results!

The statement C) is NOT a joking. Most people do not believe it. Youhave three weeks to verify my statement. If you feel my statement C) is nottrue, just return the amp for refund. How do verify? Simple, just get following 6 discs (from 6different labels) to listen and compare (flop yourremote to select between multi-ch SACD and 2-ch CD tolisten. What a day-and-night different!). I bet you will NOT return the amp.

Dared DV-6C:The 6-channel class-A tubeand class-D digitalhybrid amplifier

Daringlydifferent!

The best of bothworlds: class-A Single-ended Tube preamp for warm and rich harmonics, class-D Single-ended Digitalpower amp outputfor accuracy and resolution.

Audiophile’s dreamcomes true: silky high blends with sonorous midrange, musicalityand tactility in perfect harmony.

The magic of Class Asingle-ended triode: Dared’s expertise in tube amplifier brings warm, naturalsound to home theater and multi-channel SACD you’ve never thought possible.

All the power in yourhand: 6 x 65 watts all channels driven, 5.1, 5.0, 3.0, 2.1and 2-channel mode selectable through front panel and remote control. (See boxpictures, click here)

Description:Power stages use three Philips latest Class-D digital power amps, TDA8920C chips, with Single-ended modeoutput about 65 watt per channel (wpc) for 4 Ohmspeakers (max ~110 wpc, but we designed for about 65 wpc for best sound quality possible). Preamp stagesuse three 12AX7 tubes for class-A single-ended mode. Five inputs are fed totube preamp stages. The sub-bass input is bypass to the tube and connect to SSpreamp stage. Control board uses high quality controllerprocessor CPU STC89LE52 (China-military grade by defense industry) and Renesas (formerly joined Hitachi/Mitsubishi) R2S15902signal processor (only used for select as 2-ch inputs with 5.1 output,otherwise bypass). All firmware are designed and programmed in house by Dared. Input coupling capacitors are TDK and filteringcapacitors are Nichicon. Silver signal wires and goldtrace PCB and gold plated tube sockets.

Commonquestion 1: how can I connect thisamp to bypass my 5.1-ch or 7.1-ch receiver?

Answer 1: Either your receiver or DVD (or SACD) player (orboth) has to have Digital processor build in. Just connect this amp towhichever (either your receiver or DVD or SACD player) has 5.1-ch or 7.1-chline (analog) outputs (clickto see a typical layout) by using common RCA interconnect cables. If noanalog outputs, then you need buy one with, clickto see.

Commonquestion 2: howcan I connect this amp to my PC or laptop to play 5.1-ch music?

Answer 2: click to see theanswer.

Commonquestion 3: Iam classical music lover. I usually go to live concert and I often pay over$100 a ticket. Shall I get this tube amp and invest on a multi channel system?

Answer 3: Yes, you shall. Today over 4000 classical music SACDtitles are DSD original recording. Over 80% of them are multi-channel: [link removed by ]. A good DSD recording on multi-channel SACD isfar better than you can imagine: BestAudio

I usually paid over $80 (andover $150 for a better seat) a ticket to Chicago Symphony Orchestra ([link removed by ]). Not any more after I have setup amulti-channel system for my SACDs. I had tested many times, for an $80 seat ata live concert of CSO, while listening with my both eyes close the sonic/musicexperience actually is not better than a good original DSD recording played onmy multi-channel system at home. Both my wife and I concluded that with eyesopen at a live concert certainly feel better. This is somehow to do with thebrain to correlate with visual information processing while experience a livemusic. Here is my multi-channel setupwith DV-6C:

I turned off lights……..

And then project the CSOstage image on the screen while listening; the music comes to live and betterthan ever:

With many good original DSDrecorded SACDs I have experienced live-stage-performance. I can pinpoint image ofeach instrument as at a live stage (clickto see). The tones of instrumentsare far more accurate and detailed. I do not miss signatures of complex musicsound as heard in a live stage, from which some of these instruments were beingplayed with extensively higher frequency harmonics (click to see).Although in theory you cannot hear those higher harmonics (>20 kHz), butthose instruments recorded with DSD played back in my system is far morerealistic than any regular CD I ever heard. In my system with DV-6C, incomparison between a good DSD recording multi-channel SACD and a regular 2-chCD, it like day-and-night different. Stunning! Most high quality SACDs comes ashybrid that contains regular 2-ch CD layer. So you can just use your remotecontrol of player flop between multi-channel SACD and a regular 2-ch CD layerto compare.

Common question 4: Ihave a good stereo (2-ch) tube amp at home, and two Solid State (SS) stereoamps too. Can I use the tube amp for my two front main channels and other twoSS amps for center and rear channels?

Answer 4: This is most often asked question. Distinct multi-channel DSD recordingis done by the way that all recording requirements on 5 channels are exactlyidentical. When you replay the music out from an SACD, in order to reproducelive-concert-like music as was originally recording intended, it is requiredthat amplifiers in all 5 channels shall be exactly identical. Especially thecenter channel is very sensitive. A small difference (even at 10 ms) in delayamong your amplifiers will introduce considerable incoherence in music. Henceyou will not hear the music as live-concert-like as you wish recorded on SACD.The DV-6C overcomes this. This is why it won 2010 Blue Moons Award (6moons BlueMoon Award is bestowed only on components or music releases of rareexcellence).

Common question 5: Iam a true believer of 2-channel Vinyl LP. I listen to mostly Jazz and some of Classical music. Can you tell me amain reason I shall try this amp, and what would be a possible regret if Ibought this amp?

Answer 5: This is an important question. For the 1st part of this question, needlessof saying how much benefits of tube amp are over SS amp if you are the truebeliever of Vinyl LP. The regular CD (or so-called “Redbook” CD) is consideredas a low-resolution digital medium, 44.1kHz/16 bit.Hence in theory it is NOT possible that CD can be used as recording medium toplayback as “true” analog sound as that Vinyl LP used.

I have spent some time to critical listening on best DSD recording JazzSACDs ([link removed by ]).The good DSD multi-ch SACDs are far better thanregular CDs in terms of sound naturalness, holographic imaging, presence,depth, resolution, midrange purity and dynamic contrast.

For a large scale stage music performance such as complex orchestra,etc, the low-resolution (44.1kHz/16 bit) CD recordingis simply out of question that will never bring you to a live-like-musicexperience. You either stay your old Vinyl LPs or new original DSD recordedSACDs, period! If you want listen to new recordings, the DSD SACDs are the onlyoption. There are over 4000 classical music titles SACDs during last 10 years,most of them are multi-channel. For the 2nd part of this question, no you will notregret for buying this amp. Ifyou want to fallback to 2-channel only, you will enjoy this amp morethan any other amps since this amp can be used as true bi-amp (or tri-amp). The results are farbetter than using a regular stereo amp.
