Northstar 192 Transport and DAC - comments

Yoiryos - opps, you already told me you like it on another thread

Yioryos,

Hi, yes, I had emailed you regarding the M192 transport, which you indicated was a fine unit. I still had some hangups about the "newness" of Northstar, so I decided to stick with an older transport. I have an ML No.37 arriving today which will be paired with a Birdland Odeon-Ag DAC. Depending on how things go, I may still try the M192, but I think it may work best when paired with the M192 DAC.

Great choice. The ML 37 is a great transport no doubt about it.I am pretty sure it costs more than the M-192 transport though.

Yioryos - the ML was a bit more than the M192, and that fact does not make it "better" than the M192. The M192 should not be discounted as a fine transport.
I just felt a little easier picking a transport that has been around for a while, my own hangup. And I may yet try out the M192...

I have upgraded from the flimsy stock i2s cable to Audio Revelation Audio Labs Prophecy Cryo-Silver Reference i2s with great results. The cable is still breaking in but I am hearing even more detail already. It seems really well built and a very good value. I have no affiliation with their company.
