If you still spin CD's their is a reference level Transport for reasonable money
With an extensive collection of RedBook classical CDs, over the last three years i've tried several brands of CD players, and transport /DAC combinations Finally found my answer, FWIW http://www.hifi-advice.com/blog/review/digital-reviews/cd-player-reviews/bryston-bcd-3-cd-player/ Just a thought. |
Hi aolmrd1241, I have the latest fpga up date on the ps audio direct stream memory dac and matching transport, also the latest new transport with the new firm ware 3.06, the fpga is 0.02,,, I just got a brand new transport after sending the other one back, just now got 200 hrs on the transport, the other one stopped working because the firm ware would not work with new up dated transport in the transport , I ignore silly comments like teajjay said, Although I respect the gentleman, an example of what I'm saying here, It is silly to believe a red book only transport will sound better than a transport that up samples all red book to dsd, hope you believe that as well, cheers 🎼🎶🎵 |
Hi audiolabyrinth, Thanks for calling me a gentleman and respecting me. However, your statement that for me to say, based on actual listening experience, that it is "silly" that a transport that just delivers standard Red book cannot sound better then a transport that up samples red book to DSD raises the question that higher sampling rates are superior sonicly to red book sampling rate. My reference DAC only does Red book using NOS chips and I find it's presentation much more musical then DSD based DACS. |
