@@stevenp3176 without being able to see/ touch the unit, there's a lack of any relationships between all the elements. The typography is a hot mess.(and why would you include all that stuff like DSD, Roon, MQA etc.) The brushed finish is questionable but that's just my own taste. The elevation of the feet also creates an awkward proportion. This was clearly designed - if you can call it that - by an engineer, which is fine for a bit of lab equipment but for a desirable piece of acoustic furniture? It just rules out half the potential buyers. I will say though, a lot of Boutique audio gear is poorly designed so it seems like that's a thing but this really stands out

I have their SLI-100 integrated tube amp. I love it, but I feel that it is missing some slam and visceral impact. Cary has leftover 550's at about 3k. How would you describe the sound and impact of the 550? I am guessing at the 3k price point it would perform far above anything at that price point. Would you agree?

Your reviews are thorough, fair and a great balance of assessing the technology and sound quality. I specifically enjoyed this review of the Cary DMS-700 as well as the Audio-GD R7HE MK2. I do have a question. I am going to upgrade and like the concept of a single chassis streamer/DAC like the Cary as well as the separate component approach like the Audio-GD along with a non-DAC player. I couldn't tell from your review of the Cary DMS-700 was in the same league as the Audio-GD. Clearly the Cary/streamer combo would be cheaper yet figured Iwould ask. thanks again for the fine work.

@@TheHansBeekhuyzenChannel Thanks. When I add a quality server to match the Audio-GD it will cost me a bit more than buying the Cary DMS 700. Cary also just announced their DMS-800 PV for quite a bit more money which might be worth saving up for and might compete better with quality separates. I have another advantage with the Cary. I actually live in Cary, North Carolina 10 minutes from Cary Audio so the process of purchasing the Cary and any future service needs will be easy to handle. Thanks for responding and keep up the great work.

Hans, what is the short theme you use between sections, e.g., at 0:40? It finishes on a discordant microtonal note but sounds emphatically 'right.' Is it mathematically perfect in some way?

Good day Hans. Thank you for the informative review. I have managed to get my hands on a slightly damaged DMS 500 here in South Africa. It is a wonderful peice of hi end kit. What is love to know and maybe you can help. Where can one get a replacement screen as the unit I have has been damaged. The unit works perfectly without the screen using the app. But I'd love to get a screen to return the unit to perfect condition. Cary audio says no parts available on the dms 500 due to upgrades.

Hi Hans, very interesting although definitely out of my price range. Could you explain something to me (as a layman): why do (almost) none of these audiostreamers/DAC's have digital radio integrated (DAB+) with them? It would seem to me like a valuable option to have, for instance if for whatever reason you cannot (maybe for technical reasons) or do not want to (maybe a 'digiphobe' user in your household) stream anything . In that case you could still use the streamer as a source without having to buy a separate device for that (tuner).

It seems out of character for your final evaluation of the DAC in this unit to be expressed in euros rather than in purely audio terms. At 7000 euros is it 40% better than the 5000 euro Holo Audio May? In fact, do you prefer the audio performance of the DAC within the Cary to the Holo Audio May DAC?
