The cdt likely has no sound. The dac10 is lovely and musical. The dac9 is said to warmer or more tube like. Dac10 for a neutral sound, and 9 for warmth.
CDP's: NuPrime vs Naim
Hi,I now own Naim CDX2 + XP5XS; various reasons are pushing me to change it: Naim will almost completely stop CDPs’ production, CDX2 in itself is quite old, moreover it is the first release with no digital outs....At the moment I don’t want to quit CDs, so I’m thinking of a new CDP (streamers and so on may come later).I recently heard some NuPrime power amps which really impressed me, and it recalled a listening session with the NuForce CDP9, a highly underrated CDP, so, making the sum and hoping it is correct, I was wondering if a NuPrime combo CDT-8 + DAC9 may be a good candidate.The question is: ahs anyone of you listened to it ? and, though I know it won’t be easy, anyone can try a comparison with Naim CDX2 ? having listened both or even "by heart", as I guess very few people if any have directly compared the two.I’ve read part of the recent thread on CDP-9, but I’m mainly focused in that tarnsport+DAC combo, for reasons I will explain later if required.thanks, ciaoDanieleedit: I've read with more attention and saw the other thread is mainly about CDT8, despite the title; but still I can't get hwo the combo sounds (though I've read several positive feedbacks on the transport itself)
