I just want to let you know that inserting a Purist Audio Design Dominus AES/EBU between my Accuphase DP-90/DC-91 results in a more vinyl like sound, that means more PRAT, dynamics and a blacker blackground. Treble sounds more silky. Can anyone tell me the difference between this old transport/DAC combo and current high end digital gear, like dCS, Audio Aero or EMM Labs?
Accuphase DP-90/DC-91 combo outdated?
Hi, I'm curious if the well known Accuphase DP-90 CD-transport and DC-91 DAC already outdated products are in terms of sonics. They were the SOTA in 1992 (and megabuck gear), but nowardays? I've learned that "outdated" products (or products that are out of production) don't have to be outdated in terms of sonics. There are plenty older high-end units that are very sought after because of their sonic virtues. But do the current digital gear truly outclasses the old Accuphase combo by a mile?
