DAC for CD transport
Suggestion needed for DAC to be used with CD transport(either dedicated or dvd player as transport) around $1k range for 2nd system, not planning to use with PC.
And my current and previous source listed to understand my preference
Currently using Roksan kandy K3, like the sound, has plenty of air between instruments, extended treble and taut bass, vocals are good.
Previously used Audiolab 8200CD, had denser sound, lacking in instruments separation.
Heard Marantz cd-8005 during audition, it’s kind of thick voice.
DAC’s so for I am considering..
Line Magnetic LM-502CA
Audio gd NOS DAC-19
Teac UD-503
Rega Dac-R
Or should I go with another dedicated CD player?
advise needed, thanks

Most later model CD players have optical or coax digital output, some both. Most DACs have both optical and coax inputs. Generally coax is preferred. Given that you won't require a USB input you are open for the opportunity to purchase an older used DAC . There are many that show up used as owners are switching to computer audio and require USB. Many of these older DACs were originally very expensive due to having an excellent power supply and analog output stage. They are selling for a fraction of the original price. I own two older DACs, a Bryston BDA-1 and a MDHT Parasideo. Just a thought not knowing what the used market is in Thailand. |
