In 2012 I sold my Meridian 800DAXv4, this year I bought the Olive 06HD. When you hear this level you will never buy a cd player again. You would be a fool. It has more weight ( 132 db) and less jitter than the best cd player you can buy for money. I can get almost all HD recordings for free. But also cd's sound better than I ever heard on very expensive highend players.
Add DAC or mod player?
Need advice. I have an older, but well respected cd player, the Arcam FMJ23T. I can either have a well known company mod/upgrade the parts of the player (master clock, resistors, power supply, chassis dampening and more) or for a little more money, I can buy a decent DAC (for example, Chord Qute) and use the player as a transport. Any thoughts?
