I have been reading this thread for awhile. I have several products that are mentioned throughout the thread such as Symposium Acoustic platforms and roller blocks which I also recommend. I was undecided on a storage music player for my hi Rez files. I have a T+A MP 3100HV DAC CD/SACD/hi Rez streamer music player which I love. For music storage & playback I was torn between the new Antipodes CX+DX or the Aurender N10 among other units. Really wanted something ROON ready. I decided sound quality was the most important for me so I purchased a The Memory Player 64/32. All I can say is WOW, OMG, the best digital I have ever heard. Really hard to stream or play vinyl again now that I have The Memory Player.
Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD
Hi All.
Putting together a reference level system.
My Source is predominantly standard 16/44 played from a MacMini using iTunes and Amarra. Some of my music is purchased from iTunes and the rest is ripped from standard CD's.
For my tastes in music, my high def catalogues are still limited; so Redbook 16/44 will be my primary source for quite some time.
I'm not spending DCS or MSB money. But $15-20k retail is not out of the question.
Upsampling vs non-upsampling?
USB input vs SPDIF?
All opinions welcome.
And I know I need to hear them, but getting these ultra $$$ DAC's into your house for an audition ain't easy.
Looking for musical, emotional, engaging, accurate , with great dimension. Not looking for analytical and sterile.
