NEED HELP CHOOSING NEW DAC

Thank you for all of the reponses it is good to know about my CD player.

Check Muse as well. (www.museelectronics.com)
Very nice stuff.

Audio Note DAC 1.2 offers the closest thing to analog I've heard. A bargain at $1,100.00.

Hi-
If you get a chance to audition one, try the Audio Van Alstine OmegaStar DAC. It's a bargain, and sounds exceptionally good. It might not beat what you have, since I haven't been lucky enough to hear a Cary in my system, but the AVA is eminently listenable, and has some of the best lower end dynamics I've heard from a DAC while still maintaing detail & clarity in the top end without a trace of harshness.
Happy Listening!

Muse 2, with the bizel filter -- an absolute delight. Not sure, however, how compatible the Cary CD player is with a DAC.

Good luck!
