Don't buy Arcam cd23


It claimed to has 24/96 DAC inside , but the fact is that it has no upsampler chip, ( Cary 306 really has), cd23 cannot decode message in authentic "24/96 mode". Its a fraud.

Isn't this true about most products with 24/96 DAC chips?? They will play something recorded in 24/96 in 24/96, but older technology such as old 16bit CDs will continue to play as they did before. The unsampler is an add-on make old CDs into 24/96. For example, the MSB Link DAC is 24/96, is advertised as such, but the unsampler is extra $$ and only for the Link III unless you want to send your older unit back to MSB for the upgrade. I am not an expert, just what I understand. I do not see fraud here.
