I have the ERC 2 and changed the Opamps to Burson V5's. With some burn in these pieces take the player to a whole different level in my opinion. They come with a eight pin adapter so rolling other Opamps is just a drop in. Looking to try the Sparkos at some point.
Emotiva ERC-3 or Music Hall C-DAC15.3 / connections?
Hi,
first time post. Not an 'audiophile' per say, just a guy who appreciates good sound.
I'm looking at buying a new CD player and the Emotiva ERC-3 is on my short list. I've read good reviews and the 5 year warranty is a big plus.
I'll be hooking it up to an Anthem MRX 710 AVR. The Anthem doesn't have balanced inputs and from what I've read the ERC-3 sounds best using balanced connections. So, would there be any advantage in using an XLR to RCA cable? Or am I going to get the same sound using RCA-RCA?
The Music Hall C-DAC15.3 player is also under consideration. My speakers are Paradigm Studio 100's v2
With the Anthem , which would be a better bet, the Emotiva or Music Hall?
Thanks!
