Musical Fidelity A324 DAC as good as Tellig says?

I don't have my N803s biamped currently but I did try a single A3cr power amp and it has a great, transparent sound but it just ran out of steam at anything above a modest volume. I have also tried the A3dac and you will get better (larger, richer, more open) sound with a better one box unit like the Linn Ikemi, Meridian 508-24 or Krell KAV-280cd. I have also heard good things about the Audio Aero (not Aeros) Prima. Personally I would keep your CD player, get a second A3cr power amp, upgrade to the REL Storm III (the Strata is great but the 803s can go pretty low and would really benefit from the Storm) and just enjoy the wonderful sound your system can make, which I'm sure you already do.

Don’t trust the review. Instead of bringing your CD transport to the store, I suggest you borrow one for extensive home trial. This is the only way you can be sure if you will like it.

I had a dealer tell me it was good but nothing out of the ordinary for the price. I know they have also had some reliability problems with the unit. I have been told the Bel Canto DAC-2 is better but everything comes down to listening in your system.

Bob, I still think your weakest link is your CDd player. I know of another cool thing you can think of doing for your system. If you email me I'll go over some of that stuff. It, so you have an idea, has to do with a LC. I can also give you more info about the Audio Aero Prima CD player which I do believe will set you free.

Hey Warren,

Are you talking about a line conditioner? I've been considering something passive like a Changlightspeed. I am currently running everything through cheap computer strips but they've sounded damn good until: My last cable upgrade. I seem to have lost some synergy. I upgraded my Kimber Silver Streak (CD to Preamp) and PBJ (preamp to amp) with Kimber Select 1021. I also replaced the stock powercords on my CD, Preamp & Amp with Kimber PK10 Golds. I've had everything burning in for over two weeks but it still sounds a bit compressed and less involving than before. My Amp incorporates a choke to clean up the affects of dirty power. I think I may try replacing the stock power cords one at a time to see if that's the problem. I can't imagine the Kimber Selects are causing any problems. I think they're considered some of the best available out there. Any thoughts?
