Has anyone heard an MBL 1531 with an external DAC?


I'm considering adding an external dac to my cd player that i can also connect my mac to via usb. The Dac's i'm considering are the Empirical overdrive and Arc dac8. I would be able to get a demo Arc, but not the Overdrive.

So, if anyone has owned the MBL, and has connected an ext dac to it, i'd be very grateful to hear your thoughts.

Best regards,

I do find the Wadia 581se, 781i and S7i clean, but that's what I look for in my music. I used to play in bar bands for 10 years, and from that I've become used to listening to see what each instrument is doing in a song.

That said, the Duelund crossovers have clean up the music even more. So much more that my wife noticed the difference right away (she has hearing aids).

Chuck, which gear did you use the Dueland crossovers in? Hope all is well and thanks for sharing.
Jim,

The crossovers were taken out of my speakers and the external Duelund crossovers were made and sit behind the speakers on the floor on Audiopoints.

I also have Duelund pieces in both my CD player as well as my power amp. Duelunds, Duelunds everywhere, can't get enough Duelunds (until the money runs out, they're expensive). The same goes for Bybee pieces.
