I just tried upsampling for the first time. The Disc, from 1991, is DDD, and basically Vivaldi and Biber. At 96, the soundstage improved drastically and I could hear no other obvious changes. I’m sure it works because my DAC10 then showed 96. Interesting.
Recommend A CD Player With A Good Transport To Feed My DAC - Maybe Under $700.
I’ve been reading about the Cambridge CXC, but have heard some mixed reviews about limited functionality. Are there any CD Players with a comparable quality transport for under $700? It’s been like 18 years since I bought my Arcam and am out of the loop of current players. I'm interested in transports in that price range too. Also, does anyone have experience with the NuPrime CDT 8 Pro transport?
Thanks!
Thanks!

I'd buy a cheap but reliable CD or DVD player with a digital out and then buy this... https://www.empiricalaudio.com/products/synchro-mesh since you'll probably want a jitter-reduction device anyway. Best of luck. |
Just use your Arcam player and add a Synchro-Mesh reclocker and a cheap Markertec BNC coax cable. It will beat anything you can buy for 10X that. $699 for the Synchro-Mesh. 7psec of jitter: https://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?topic=157348.0 Steve N. Empirical Audio |
