I am taking the 37 / 360S combo home to compare over the weekend.
I used to mod the 37. It needs it badly IMO. The Synchro-Mesh reclocker and good cables will make a HUGE difference with these.

oppo 205 vs sepearate DAC or CD player.. should I bother?
I am currently using an Oppo 205 as my digital source, and I primarily listen from classic Rock to heavier music. Sound Garden, NIN etc.
Are differences in these recordings even worth going for a stand alone CD player or DAC?
I recently picked up a ML 326S pre, and I am tempted to look for a used 390S to match. The 512 is way out of the budget. I am thinking 2-3k.
System is listed under my systems.
thanks.

The ML mods were similar to my standard Transport mods: 1) replace the Master Clock with a better oscillator and supporting circuits 2) improve power to the Master Clock circuits 3) redesign the S/PDIF output stage so that it is fast and precisely matched to 75 ohms output impedance If you want a really good S/PDIF cable: https://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?topic=155017.0
High-performance S/DIF cables are BNC-BNC cables with RCA adapters as needed. RCA connectors can never properly terminate 75 ohm coax cables. Steve N. Empirical Audio |
