Classe DAC-1 or MSB GOLD LINK DAC III


Hello,

I never own a Digital/Analog Converter before so this is my first time shopping for one. This weekend I was looking at couple of Audio Shop for a DAC and came across 2 used DAC that i like. Classe DAC-1 and MSB Gold Link III. Both unit are selling for $995.00. I need some suggestion and help. I thought about getting a DAC then a SACD player because the isn't much titles that i am interest in listen.

My current system
Denon DCD-S10 II CD Player
Denon POA-S10 Mono Power Amplifier
Denon PRA-S10 Stereo Preamplifier
Proac Response 1.5
Stealth Varidig AES/EBU
Kimber Monocle XL

Depending on how old the MSB unit is, the possibility of upsampling to 192KHz is to be considered. I have a 3 month old model that that does have this feature and when combined with my MSB modified Adcom GCD-750, produces the smoothest and most airy sound I have ever heard from CDs. Some older models of the Gold Link III did not have the 192K cababiliy. Most models do have the ability to upsample to 96KHz without any mods to your CD transport.
