I had an MS-II and then got the HD version which is considerably more detailed and smooth.
Upgrade from an original HRT Music Streamer II
I'm currently enjoying streaming a ton of great music from MOG.com via an original HRT Music Streamer II (red trapezoid shape) into my system. I'm thinking of upgrading to a newer DAC, one which can also handle digital optical inputs from a widescreen Sony TV and DVD player. I may also want to "experiment" with patching my Rotel RCD-1072 deck through this new DAC as well. Since most of my "true listening pleasure" still comes from LP's and CD's, I want to keep to a $300 budget for my "extra" computer listening and TV/DVD watching. My main choices seem to be the Emotiva XDA-2 (currently on sale direct from Emotiva for $249) or the Musical Fidelity V-DAC 90. What are your thoughts ? And as a second question,..... will a new DAC give me a worthwhile musical enjoyment improvement form my Rotel, or is the Rotel deck pretty perfect just the way it is ? I'd appreciate any comments and thoughts directly answering my question or even somehow related to it. Thanks a lot, and Happy Holidays !
