MUSEATEX CDD

PS. I second Darkmoebius' recommendation of a Moray James digi cable, esp with a Museatex DAC.

Right now I don't have access to a Bidat. I played it quite a while last night, and it is really starting to open up! I also e-mailed John Wright, he thinks with mods it will better my Audio Note! It was purchased from a Gent that had recieved it as a gift and really wasn't into audio enough to do the 2 box thing.
The only dig cables I have are a Pure Note Paragon terminated with Cardas RCA's and an Audio Metallurgy Gold alloy terminated with WBT Nextgens.

Hey, what mods was John going to perform? Might have him hotrod my CD-D, if possible.

He replaces all the tired old caps with new/better ones including a few Black Gates in key locations. There is some shielding and power supply and grounding changes as well as a reclocking update. He also installs an IEC inlet and changes out the RCA female for one of better quality. You can send him your choice of IEC and RCA if you want. He charges $350 plus shipping. Sounds like a good deal to me!

Thanks Sheldon,

It's great to hear that he is now doing the reclocking upgrade again. When I last emailed him a year or so ago, that wasn't an option anymore because he couldn't get the parts for the "C-Clock" upgrade. Mine is the older version without this.

I'm definitely going to look into this. Supposedly, the Bidat/iDat/Bitsream to CD-D connection witht the C-Clock option provides some of the lowest jitter numbers ever achieved in commercial audio. Numbers still extremely low by even today's standards.
