Audiolab 6000CDT

@charliecheese What benefits does the Wyred Reclocker provide over the 6000 CDT alone?

Oh got you.

Thanks, @routlaw.

Soix,

The reclocker takes the incoming audio signal from 16-bit/44.1 kHz to 24-bit/96 kHz playback, which seems to be one of the standards of streaming playback.

In my experience the CDs sound more alive now (a more natural-sounding reverb, more definition to the soundstage (instruments are placed left-to-right/front-to-back more realistically)). It was probably the best $400 I’ve spent on my modest system.

If you’ve read anything from Bob Lefsetz about his experiences with streaming and the Dragonfly dac, he raves about the sound being pretty close to the vinyl experience. Since I have a ton of CDs, I didn’t want to give up on the discs, and that’s why I chose to try the Remedy reclocker. Since I’ve tried it, I know I’ll never go back to the usual CD playback. And although I’ve never done a side-by-side comparison with streaming, I’ll bet my system sounds pretty close to at least a modest streaming system.
