Cary 306 SACD Professional

Has any one had an opportunity to listen or demo the new player from Cary and compare it to the competition?

The Cary has a deeper further back soundstage, the APL has a more up front presentation. I also think the Cary has better frequency extremes. Oldvinyl, that is fantastic! As good as the 306 SACD sounds, and you say the Pro has that much more improvement, it must be the best sounding unit out there! Care to trade?

I am not really sure of the version I had (there were so many versions), but I had it upgraded 3 times. One of the last upgrades was well after you had sold yours, because I remember reading that you said yours was kinda of thin sounding when played straight to an Amp without a Preamp.

There is no doubt that his new 32 bit versions will be an improvement.
