Tried CD player Cary 300/300 and LOVED it, now what?
@jafant The Bryston BCD-1 is clean detail and natural and, with right set up, i believe it can be had with hell lot of excitement. But, because I'm using warm sounding conditioner Richard Gray 400, so when combined with a complete Synergistic Research Power cords and ICs, I didn't like it as much; warmer, yes! but I could not get the PRaT out of it (3,4 years now). Also, when I tried Transparent Audio entry levels RCA and XLR, BCD-1 was a bit smoother but still SOMEWHAT dull and congested. Therefore, I went back and give it its own a whole new diff cables and cords from AC wall outlet to RG400 conditioner then to BCD-1. Power cords from PS Audio AC-12, Kaplan GS, Triode Wire Labs, and Cardas Golden Power and they do go well together. Too, RCA interconnects from MIT (16 poles) and Tara Labs, I do like. Bryston BCD-1 is a great cdp and sensitive to PC's and IC's, so, i dont know, you may get better result with Synergistic Research cables and cords in your set up? The Cary 300/300 matches very well with SR so I leave them like that untouched for the last 3,4 years now. Great luck and sorry for going off track. Happy listening @rhljazz Thank you so much for the suggestion but going to music digital server is way out of my...comfort? You would prob see me drop $1k on a DAC first.... Though, I will keep it in mind because soon and later, it is in our future. |
nasaman I liked it also, it uses a PCM1792 dacs, which are a hy-brid R2R Muiltibit and Delata Sigma. I had a chance to compare it to the Cary 303/200 which is full R2R Multibit PCM1704 and preferred it because of I thought it had better boogie factor and slam. If you want to stay with that Hy-Brid dac sound, look for cdp’s or dacs that use the PCM1792 or PCM1794 or the latest PCM1796 dac chips. Just look in this massive list to find which cdp or dac uses these hy-brid dacs. http://vasiltech.narod.ru/CD-Player-DAC-Transport.htm Cheers George |
