His actions are implied to have left Mario, Rosalina and Jeffy with PTSD due to their near-death experience.

He also knocked out Rosalina just for annoying him and would've murdered her hadn't Brooklyn Guy arrived in time.

Planned to brutally kill Mario, Jeffy, and Rosalina.

Shot Bowser Junior just for pinching him.

Injected Jeffy with black tar heroin, causing him to be addicted to it.

Guy when he was on vacation for 7 months. He is even shown to enjoy mutilating his victims' corpses and takes pictures of them.

It's confirmed he also murdered them for petty reasons, such as being impatient and making noise.

Has brutally murdered and tortured 26 people and stuffed their corpses into a secret room for seemingly no reason, including his own wife.

It never drew me into long listening sessions, unlike the same system with any number of (by comparison) budget DACs: MyTek Brooklyn with Mojo Audio power supply, MyTek Manhattan II, Universal Audio 2192, Antelope Audio Pure 2, Crane Song Solaris (among others). Whether direct-to-amp, as MSB recommends, or via a preamp (Boulder 1012, VTL TL-7.5), it had exceptional bass, but rolled off highs and a nothing-special soundstage. After I purchased it, it was tested, serviced and recalibrated not once, but twice, at the MSB factory. Now this DAC, with its matching Diamond power supply, retailed for around US$40K. I had an MSB Diamond DAC IV+, maxed out with all the options except the network renderer which only became available after I sold it. With the possible exception of the Benchmark LA4, I haven't yet found a preamp that does not in some small way degrade its sound.Īs regards ladder DACs, I've only had one experience which does not inspire me to try again.

My concerns are how some of them measure and most come out of China which could be an issue for service or repair in the future.įor me, the Crane Song Solaris combines the best of ultra-transparent pro DACs like Benchmark and Mytek with (for want of a better term) the "richer" sound of many audiophile DACs. Digital has changed so much, the R2R design looks interesting and in general how it's marketed seems to be in line with my focus. Now I'm itching to improve my digital hoping there is a better DAC that frames the music in a way that doesn't reduce what I enjoy or narrows the type of music I listen to. Settled on the Rega DAC R for digital and was impressed how well it framed every kind of music and I was back to buying CDs again. As I upgraded all vinyl recording improved each step. I moved deeper into vinyl, sold off my expensive CDP and invested in a better TT setup. I learned at demos to bring my worst sounding CD that I enjoyed to not just the nice sounding CDs. Loved Led Zep as a kid, thought maybe I grew out of them when I listened to them on CD, spinning them on vinyl was a point of awareness of what improving digital did to the recordings. There is a reason artists and music like Diana Krall became so popular over this time period. At the time I thought I was moving into better but what I learned and became aware of later was the number of CDs in my collection that were enjoyable was reduced and the types of music I enjoyed got more narrow. I did the CDP climb about 15 years ago, each step up more details were revealed in recording. I was using a Sonore Microrendu and NAS drive as a source for both. The DAC 3 has been flawless, and redbook files on it sound like high-res DSD files did on the Brooklyn, but with more dynamic energy and drive.I kept it and sold the Mytek. A friend of mine also had issues with his Brooklyn, which they exchanged for him as well. I had some reliability issues with the first Brooklyn I bought, and they quickly exchanged it for another one for me. The DAC 3 did not sound any better using the USB Regen, and upgraded USB cables did not improve the sound much like they did with the Brooklyn. That said, the Benchmark DAC 3 with no add-ons sounded quite a bit better on redbook files, but a bit boring on DSD. With those add-ons for the Brooklyn, redbook files sounded quite good, and DSD files were even better. I lived with both the Mytek Brooklyn and Benchmark DAC3 in my system for over 6 months, using the USB input on both, and both using their variable analog outputs to drive my JOB 225 amp directly.The Mytek needed a good external power supply to sound its best, and I found it also benefitted quite a bit by using a USB Regen and upgraded (expensive) USB cables.
