Tomryan is correct. The P3 gains significantly from the ModWright Level 2 upgrade. But, IMHO, the XA9000ES still beats the P1/P3 even with the MR Level 2 treatment. Take a serious look at all in one players. They can outperform a transport/DAC system.
Poor man's reference DAC
I am looking for a DAC in the $3000 range to match with my system. I am hoping for a reference DAC that I can later add a transport to once the funds are available. I know this price point is a little light for a reference DAC but it is what I can afford. I was going to buy the Birdland Odeon Ag with reclocker but once you open the door you start to find other items. I am interested in other views so I can start researching these DACs. The newest item I have read about is the Harmonix DAP-777. Very favorable reviews. Anything else out there that I should think about?
I have the following set-up:
Rowland Synergi IIi preamp
Rowland M201 mono amps
Meridian 588 CD player
CAL CL-10 multi disc player
B & W Nautalus 802 speakers
Audio Note Cerulean cables
Audio Magic power conditioners
I listen to vocalists mostly and accustic music. All reply are appreciated.
