CD/ SACD advice needed
Hi have a McIntosh system with a Mc CD player that has a hard time reading disks. I'm thinking of adding an SACD transport and leveraging the nice DAC DA2 in my Mc integrated amp. Can I buy a less expensive CD player like the Arcam CDS50 and expect excellent sound because of the Mc DAC? Or would upgrading to a new Mac SACD/ CD player just sound alot better. It would be using the same DAC in my integrated amp.
Thanks!
This is what I posted about above. I paid $700. It is DSD out from the OPPO player into your DAC via the D.BOB. Amazon.com: GeerFab Audio - D.BOB Digital Breakout Box : Electronics I got it from Uptown Audio in Los Angeles. GeerFab Audio D.BOB Digital BreakOut Box – Upscale Audio

Been thinking about the Geerfab. Most reviews just say that it works. Not much about SQ. I sold an Oppo Modwright 105d and now just have a 103 around for Blu Rays. |
yyzsantabarbara you are ahead of most people. I am soooooo glad I love the sound of my Sony xa-5400's internal DAC and the salad of ingredients Sony included, both CD and SACD. The darn thing cost as much used as it did new 10 years ago. Seller accepted returns, people here endorsed it, gave it a try, glad I did. |
OP did you try a laser cleaning disc? My friend had trouble for YEARS with an Oppo player I gave him, he used for transport, but the laser still has to read the data. His was erratic. YEARS he didn't get one. Finally I bring mine, 30 secs later trouble free. Trouble free for YEARS
definitely worth a try |
