New Cary DMS 700

Sorry I missed this. So 6,000 new vs 3,500 used
the 700 does sound better. I would say 10-15%
the 700 has a much better interface. But if you are using Roon it becomes a moot point. So if I was a Roon user and did not have a hi resolving system and room I would look for a 600 ( although there may be a part that Cary says that can’t get anymore)
But if you have a pretty decent system and can hear changes in your system pretty easily go for the 700. Either way the both sound very good and easy to listen too

Hello out there in audiophile land. I just ordered a DMS-700 arriving this week. Pairing it with an ARC LS-28 and a REF 75 SE.  A couple of questions regarding tweaking the sound.  Does a different power cable make an audible difference? I also read some of the post regarding the EtherRegen what does the device actual do? Clean up the ethernet signal? Is there that much noise in a ethernet cable?Has anyone compared the Cary DMS-700 to the ARC DAC 9 with and Aurender streamer?Feedback appreciated.

@benzman Appreciate the reply!

i just bought the IFI Zen Streamer it $399 and sounds utterly transparent. looking for a new DAC to pair it with. i must say my venerable NAD D1050 is providing more than adequate for now running Roon.  Rega speakers and electronics.

did you own the 600SE ?

Happy Listening!
