I had a experience the other day with my SF dac and a discontinued Cambridge CD6. As a player the 6 is very good. When I connected it to my dac the results were not so good. I was a little surprised with the tube output and build quality of the SF. It might just be bad synegery.(SF sfd1 mk2)
Hi-fi CDP vs. DAC + entry CDP
I would like to know how the sound quality of a $1500-$3000 CD player (Linn Genki, Ikemi), would compare with an entry level CD player (Cambridge D500), paired with a good DAC (Bel Canto DAC 1). That is, will a DAC+cheap CDP combo beat the better CD players out there? What are the advantages or disadvantages? I have no experience with DACs.
All listening will be done through a Sennheiser HD600.
