| Focal Utopia Scala V2 or Persona (9H/7F) HI Audiotroy,Does your shop sell both focal Kanta and paradigm persona 3F ? I am wondering how do they compare ? Their pros and cons ? | |
| Oppo 105, Oppo 205, or Legacy SACD (Esoteric, Cary CD 306, etc) I have explored some of these options but I don’t want DSD—> PCM. Any DAC that can accept DSD natively via HDMI and then do M-ch? byrson only does DSD stereo. I have huge collection of SACD. Ripping as iso files may work but I have no DAC that ... | |
| Oppo 105, Oppo 205, or Legacy SACD (Esoteric, Cary CD 306, etc) Also i don’t see any new hi-end SACD player for m-ch out there | |
| Oppo 105, Oppo 205, or Legacy SACD (Esoteric, Cary CD 306, etc) a response year later ! The SA-60 works great for M-ch SACD! There is however some noise on the main 2-ch. probably need some repair/refurbishment. Is it worth getting a mod ? Is SACD going to continue to be made? There are still lots on sale, ne... | |
| Another discrete R2R Ladder Multibit Dac, this ones from Audio GD, their coming on strong. I think The poor review of Singularity 19 is because it was not burned in at all. It needs about 600-1000 hrs of burning in, I heard from audio-gd users! I am not usure If reviewer got a second burned in unit or not but he reviewed it immediately ... | |
| Oppo Vs Esoteric Haha,It is true, the esoteric SA-60 is really beautifully built, all external metal part, only tray is plastic. It is an interesting comparison with my oppo 95.First obvious change is that it sounds like Hi-Res for both CDs and SACDs (latter is ob... | |
| Oppo Vs Esoteric Ok my esoteric SA-60 just arrived yesterday. Not much time to set it up properly but it sounds totally different from Oppo. Will tell u guys more later ! | |
| Oppo Vs Esoteric If you converts PCM to DSD it may not be that goodm which is what DS DAC does. Many who prefers PCM over DSD are because they are not listening to pure DSD recordindg/files:1. PCM converted to DSD via computer or like DS DAC2. The original recor... | |
| Oppo UDP - 205 I think I may do Oppo 205 mainly for playback of Blu-ray but then I can also get a hi-end A/V receiver like Carey Audio and feed my 95 via HDMI . Wonder if that would work better ? There is also theory that HDMI may compromise the sound but I have... | |
| Oppo UDP - 205 I see, thanks! | |
| Oppo UDP - 205 I must have looked at wrong date. I see your comments in the thread too, thank you. For some reason, audiogon does not notify me when there is response from the threads, so I am not aware of responses until I check the threads | |
| Oppo Vs Esoteric Also I find it interesting modwright oppo 205 beats PS Audio DS but then perhaps oppo works better with PCM? PS audio converts all to DSD, not necessarily good for all PCM. Then also the tube effect of oppo may help a lot. | |
| Oppo Vs Esoteric Also Ayre SACD players are apparently superb | |
| Oppo Vs Esoteric I heard oppo 205 is best in Blu-ray, the rest are fine but not superb. But the modwright oppo 205 apparently is much better overall, but seems to concentrate on 2-ch output tube stage with separate PS for it. The m-ch part is not really changed m... | |
| Oppo 105, Oppo 205, or Legacy SACD (Esoteric, Cary CD 306, etc) Thanks for your reply. That would be a future plan perhaps but for now I am thinking of doing M-ch direct. There is no m-ch DAC that accepts native DSD. They all are converted to Pcm. Though Bryston may make one I hope, to compete with exasound? 2... |
