Accuphase DP570 vs. Luxman D10X
@denon1 : I see you are not excited by the DP 560 / 570. The 560 is "nothing special" compared to what? What is it more exactly that you didn't like about these models (maybe also what you liked, if anything)? I'm asking because I have a DP 550 that I'm quite content with and yet I'm considering a small upgrade to a used DP 560 (even the DP 570 would be too expensive for me, not to mention the higher priced models). The main reason for this move is that I'd like to benefit from the superior input capabilities of the 560 (DSD via USB, reads data DVDs with .wav and .flac files...), but a small sound improvement would be welcome as well. And I'm not sure I'll be able to audition it first. Thanks! |
@rockrider : I have the 100SC, but thought about getting one of the larger models with a screen such as the N20. I went with a more entry level model largely due to price point and I was not confident that the streamer would be good long-term. Nearly every streamer I had bought prior ended up being dead in terms of software updates in 1-2 yrs. Not the case with Aurender. I already had a nice dac at the time and wanted at least coax output and a removable storage. Many of the modle updates are now coming with user upgraded storage. The A20 wasn't out when I made my choice. Now that I've seen the quality of the software, support and integrations I could see myself upgrading. I might still go with the N20 as my Classe Delta Pre has similar AKM dacs built in and I will likely make use of the bass management. Hope this helps, even though it's like 1 month later. |
Thanks @tank_pd. Sounds like a good addition to your system! |
