Have a pretty basic dac magic 200m. I wasn’t sure if it would significantly improve the sound of my older rotel cd player even but it was pretty major. I wasn’t sure disappointed to discover that i could not play sacs though the dac which was a big reason for purchase. As was Eric Geer! Thanks for having the know how to design a work around that is strictly legal! Coax is the only way to get 64 bit dsd and it is definitely a critical component.
Geer Fab DBOB coax cable problem
Bought a DBOB a little bit ago and it really made a big improvement with SACD reproduction from my Oppo bdp 93 A helluva lot cheaper than a substantial player upgrade. No need for yet another dedicated player as a bonus! However, I did have a problem with intermittent drop outs with the coax connection. I had two different older coax cables with the same issue with both so I reached out to Geerfab. After trying a a couple things (a cheap Sony universal player and cable swaps)Eric Geer had me send it to him. No problem for him so he sent it back to me without charge after determining that it was not the unit. In the interim I bought a new cable. When it ce back I tried using the new audiquest cinnamon cable and low and behold problem solved! So either I had two cables gone bad or the device doesn't like older cables in general. We're talking late 90's early 2000's. It was not a problem with the Toslink, only coax. So anyone experiencing this issue might want to verify that it's not a cable issue before persuing other options. I do want to thank Eric Geer for all the help and working with me to resolve the situation. Great guy and a great product.
