I can't vouch for the bidat being better but I can say that I have an original CD3 meitner that was way ahead of it's time and never had any of the sonic characteritics that most other players had. This unit was and is still more analog sounding than most of the stuff that has come since it was made over 20 years ago.And reliable as all get out. I have never had a problem or repair.I wonder what a few mods to this unit would accomplish? Anyone ever had one of these modded?Any ideas on where to start?
Museatex Bitstream vs Bidat
I've emailed John Wright asking exactly how big a jump in performance there was between the Bitstream and Bidat. He mentioned that when both fully modded they sound different from each other and neither was better then the other. The bitstream being more musical overall, while the Bidat picked up more inner detail. Anybody compared for themselves?
