Quad Elite

[Moorgate]

Had a look and listen to the new Quad Elite which replaced the 99 series. Substantial improvements in build quality were apparent. Sound much the same but with a little more detail and slightly more forward balance. Prices not dissimilar to 99 series.

Nice. Not shopping right now and I'm a secondhand cheapskate, but they look nice. I've not seen a Quad I wouldn't like to have in the house, even the unloved 34 pre is OK.

How does the new CDP differ from CDP-2 sonically and does it still offer DAC functionality?

 

[Moorgate]

Indeed it does. I must state that the CDP was not the product we heard yesterday and I think the details of that are being finalised. But it will have a DAC/pre onboard.

Are the amps current dumpers?

Hi any more feedback on the Elite series?

I notice they use the same crystal DAC chip as the Bryston cd/bda1.

I see that Quad are now owned by IAG - this means they will be going up

against their sister brand Audiolab

all quads are hardly changed on the power side since the original 405s. better component and far stiffer power suppy able to give current at a constant current

they have been with IAG FOR YEARS
