IMO you should go with a new UPsampling dac like the Dacmagic or the V-Dac.They will turn a cheap transport into a redbook player that will compete with the others out there below $2000.00 anyway.Read Stereophile two monbths back they did a review of the V-Dac and the Dacmagic. I have never heard anything that comes close to my Dacmagic and Musical concepts transport.No I have never heard any players over $3000.00 so I cannot say about them.
An antiquated DAC or an affordable recent one?
An inexpensive digital to analog converter is next on the purchase list. Should I opt for something new, (such as a Musical Fidelity V-Dac or Cambridge Audio Dac-Magic) or retro (like a Theta Chroma 396, Ps Audio Superlink or Adcom 600)? It is now, sadly, only listening via Sennheiser Hd 580 and Creek OBH-11, with a cheap Cd player. Rock and pop are the musical tastes.
