Arcam decision

I agree with Jeff. Pick up a used FMJ CD23T, and you won't have to second guess your decision!

Regarding the ring DAC, the Canadian importer told me it was a price issue to drop it, mainly because the ring DAC was expensive to produce. Apparently the failure rate was very high at the manufacturing level thereby increasing the overall cost.
I have the CD72, found the CD92 fatiguing. Like the 82 with the Wolfsons, haven't heard the 93 or 192. From what I've read the difference between the latter two models is minimal.

I have a cd 92,my opinion,it is not fatiguing what so ever,say at 7 bills or so a steal used.Dont even bother with lower Arcam,i had a cd 72 I thought it would sound better,or assumed it would partly due to the Arcam name,I am surprised it sells at all.The ring dac is outstanding,and I heard as is usually the case a money issue and that is why they dont do it anymore.otherwise buy a Cambridge same dac,s as Arcam,Wolfson,Hey what a concept a decision based on money versus quality.Higher up Arcam I think would be good but do you want to spend that much.You dont see many cd 92 s for sale but if you do grab it.
