Music Fidelity/Nu Vista 3D or Resolution /Opus 21

i like the res opus. You never know when you will want to run direct. It gives you that option.

I love the Opus 21 too. I just installed a new interconnect using the DIN out on the Opus 21 and the improvement was clear. With the Opus 21 you can run direct to your amp with the built-in volume controls or bypass the volume control and run it into a preamp, although using the volume control and running into a preamp certainly was not bad either! Very nice conponent! Organic, dynamic, fun to listen too, smooth too. Bettered my EMC-1.

I have to agree StreetD and Budrew. The Opus is a fantantic sounding player. I've also owned the Ayre CX-7 and the Cary 306/200. IMO the Opus is better. Also, I run the player straight to amps, which I know you cannot do with the MF. And, the Opus will act as a DAC for other components. Not sure the MF has that ability. I have not heard the Nuvista though, so I'll quit raving about the Opus for your sake since you're more interested in a comparison.

By the way, Budrew, what cable did you use to replace the factory supplied DIN cable?

Thanks-Sammie
