Actually Readster, I'm trying to get RBCD playback to as close to SACD sound quality as possible without going all out and buying the dCS equipment setup. Unfortunately the dCS setup seems to be the only solution offered by professional reviewers that can raise redbook CD to levels indistinguishable from higher resolution formats.
I'm starting to understand that I am going to have to compromise and either buy a one piece CD only unit (knowing it will sound great, but fall short of higher resolution format levels), or go all the way as Avguygeorge was kind enough to point out with the dCS setup. I'm going to audition the Levinson transport and DAC, as well as Levinson single unit, I'll be trying out the BAT (A class unit), and I'll be trying out the dCS separates as well as their new integrated unit.
If anyone has any more suggestions please feel free to offer them up. I'm ultimately interested in making the right decision so I receive optimum sound quality for what equipment I own.
Thanks again.
