I wish I could speak to your Audio Note DAC. FWIW, I recently I decided to upgrade out of a CDP and go transport and DAC. I bought a used CEC TL5 and bought the Mhdt Orchid. I was trying to elevate my CD's to something approaching my analog front end. I bought these two components after extensive reading and because both were associated with the idea of an analog-like reproduction scheme.
I've heard a lot of various digital attempts over the years but this is easily the most...natural sound I've heard from my CD's. So, seconding the CEC recommendation. |
Great ideas here, thanks. I'm really liking what I'm reading about the CEC belt drive transports. The reviews echo what Jond and Letch said about the sound being natural, fluid, analogue-like. Could go very nicely with the DAC5! I must admit I never heard about Lector or Denafrips transports. I can't find much by way of reviews for either, but given its reputation for their DACs,, the Denafrips Avatar could be the value of the year! Larryi - thinking about your point about the downside of buying a used transport, that's really good advice. Thanks, I decided to go with new! |
