DAC Question

Has anyone used a Entech Cruncher 205.2 DAC? If so, how is it? Thanks

The difference being the analog filter and the number of inputs/phase switch. I find it fine for tv, the sound is a little on the forward side for music though but better then a cheap cd player. Tried it with my g5 optical out to a project headamp/sennheiser 600 and it was way to forward to listen to. Could be that the voltage out is way to high, I have some attentutors on order to see if that tames it a little.

Meant TV as in HBO, Showtime, etc. Sounds much better then the analog connection. Given that you have a 20es cd player (I have dvp7700) I think you may want to look at a ead dsp7000 or bel canto as that would give you a jump above the sony whereas the entech is probably on par with the sony.
