I've owned the 8200CDQ for a month now and love it. I do love the filters but they started to drive me crazy because I was switching filters midway though songs. I bout the CDQ so I could buy a used solid state amp to run in the summer (own a tube integrated). Like others, I love the USB input. I've been playing 24 bit and loving it. If you get the CDQ and are not using it as a preamp, make sure to keep the output at 0db or you'll clip your amps input. The U.S. distributor is in Canada and they sell direcly. My local shop in Upstate NY sells them and that's where I got mine for the same price as direct. The owners manual is extensive and very well written.
Audiolab 8200cd and dac
Hi,
Could anyone share their perspectives on the latest audiolab 8200cd? The reviews have been glowing, it can operate as cd and dac, and it comes with the ess dac chip.
The price seem very reasonable too at about $1100.
How does it compare with sacs like w4s dac1 or benchmark?
Thanks!!
