Gather around JoLida 100a owners

Sure you can use an outboard DAC. I use a Theta DAC from time to time and also the DACs in my Processor.

From what I have read, the AA Prima DAC is a fantastic performer, I havent heard it yet. At 3x the cost, I would certainly expect it to be an improvement.

Of course you would probably want a top notch transport to compliment your new high performance DAC. The Jolida's is a fairly common Phillips CDM12.10, I believe.

Freaky...
How are you enjoying your Jolida?
Last Sunday I did a little mini-mod with some damping sheets from Verastarr...I followed exact pacement of suggested areas to damp...
I do believe the Jolida can be overdamped...The sweet lushness became
way too mellow...it took the attack out of piano notes(Jolidas need all the attack they can get..my only reason I will always be looking for my nirvana source)) and the piano notes deadened....I wound up leaving the sheets
on the side panels only and that made a big difference.
While I had the cover off I played a CD and the Platter wobbles as it spins....
Has anyone else noticed this?
Sorry ....I think I just got off your topic, Freaky...

Thanks Distortion,

What ever DAC I deciede to go with it will have to be used your right at almost $4600 the Prima is not cheap.
Are there any used DAC's at the level of the Prima that won't require me selling a kidney.

As transports go I've read only good things about the Sonic Frontiers Transport3 and the Metronome T20. Any others I should be looking at keeping at the same level price/performance wise compared to the Sonic and Metronome.

Cheers

Allegro12,

Don't woory about the topic it's nice you stopped by and said hello.

I have to say that my music hasn't sounded this good so good that now I'm looking to upgrading again. In the next few months I'll be looking at adding some amps but it depends on what speakers I'll go with. So far I've listened to PMC's paired with Bryston and LINN amps. The next on the list is to hear B&W Sig 805's. My dealer also wants me to listen to a pair of LINN Speakers I forgot the model.

Cheers
