| Best Basic CD Player (no SACD, USB, etc.) I concur with the idea of a transport + DAC vs a stand alone CDP. The DAC inside of a CDP will eventually become outdated IMO. As long as a transport is working then it can be matted with an unlimited amount of DAC's through the years, so why pay ... | |
| Audiolab 6000CDT @jerryg123 yes I already have that one as well as many others within this thread, however AL is introducing the new 9000 series a different critter. | |
| Audiolab 6000CDT https://www.audiolab.co.uk/9000cdt/ Link above for the forthcoming AudioLab transport. Worth noting I have yet to find this component on any of the online sources that sell AudioLab. Maybe its available across the pond but doesn't look like it ha... | |
| Audiolab 6000CDT I also have one and as a transport it outperforms both my Oppo 203 but have no idea how it compares with the more expensive transports like Jays. When talking with the dealer he said the the CDT 6000 was noticeably better than the Cambridge transp... | |
| Neutral Dac? @jerryg123 please understand I have not heard or personally experienced the Topping or Gustard DAC's mentioned earlier, just relaying what so many other reviewers have stated about those products being very neutral which is what the OP ask for. No... | |
| Neutral Dac? @jerryg123 no thanks, I’m done with R2R. Pretty case work though. | |
| Neutral Dac? @mofojo Holo Spring. Tried for 2 or 3 years to like the sound from this thing, but never did. Used every input available just didn't sound good. Have a friend who had the same experience with two of the Holo DAC's, and also one Denafrips. Each to ... | |
| Neutral Dac? In the past year there have been several extremely positive reviews on the Topping D90 SE/LE and Gustard X26 PRO DACS. All reviewers stated emphatically either of these two DACs were as neutral an anything they have ever heard. Granted around here... | |
| Oppo UDP-203 In what way was the improvement in sound with the new power supply? | |
| AKM makes the best DACs Agree with AKM, but have heard or read the newer Sabre DAC chips like the 9028 and 9038 are much different now than before. Have owned a number of DACs with Sabre and didn't like any of them. As for Burr Brown never really cared for those either s... | |
| DAC du jour I would be looking at the Gustard X26Pro as well as. Search the reviews. I know of no other DAC that has put so much effort into a DAC and to have done so for $1500 is nothing short of amazing. Dual DAC chips, dual mono completely including power ... | |
| Differences the Project RS2 Transport and the (newest) Jay's Audio CD2 Mk 3 While I don't own either the Jay's or the Project transports I can state without a doubt different transports do indeed make a difference. I currently have an Oppo 203, an Emotiva ERC-4 and just recently acquired used but in new condition Audiolab... | |
| Audio Envy O’nestian 3:4 vs DH Labs Revelation Interconnects Interesting given that the other DH Labs cables I own do not exhibit this thin and fatiguing sound at all. In fact just the opposite. Thanks. | |
| Audio Envy O’nestian 3:4 vs DH Labs Revelation Interconnects I've not tried the DH Labs Revelation IC's but do have a pair of the Audio Envy RCA interconnects on my turntable. I tried the Onestian Balanced cable too and while at first was impressed with the dazzling detail and speed found long term I couldn... | |
| Searching for a new CD player Of course you can. Have done this countless times. I would recommend DB Poweramp as the best software for ripping and use Roxie Toast for burning. |
