Museatex Bitstream vs Bidat

I have both a recently John Wright upgraded Bidat and Bitstream DAC and I enjoy very much. The Bidat is in my higher end living room system while my Bitstream is in my bedroom system. They are both very musical and resolving. I have had them on for about a month or so and the initial limited harshness is gone. Quality DACs really do make a significant positive difference to the music!

Hmmm, I have had my units for a little over a year back from John. Do you know when he started doing his latest miracle mods?

Thanks,

Michael

Vhiner,

Thank you for the additional info. I might just do that as well. One of my LEDs has gotten a little dim on the unit also. I have a Bitstream as well that he modified and it is serving very well in my 2nd system. Great DACs!

I just traded message with John. I will send him my Bitstream first and then the Bidat. Any power cord suggestions for the Bitstream? I haven't been able to decide on one and am still using the stock cord. I am using a really nice Shuyata one on my Bidat along with a Moray James digital coax. (His products are very tough to find, and almost impossible on the used market!)

Ok, I have not heard the IDAT, but I will take your word for it. I already tremendously enjoy my Bidat and Bitstream DACs that were upgraded about a year and a half ago. I will be sending them off back to John for the latest and greatest upgrades in the next week or so. I have been using an older Shunyata Black Mamba cord on the Bidat and I usually just leave it powered on 7x24.

The rest of my two channel system consists of Mcintosh MC-501 amps, Mcintosh MX-119 pre/pro, Vienna Acoustice Mahler, Mcintosh MS750, Ultimate modified Denon 3910 etc.

I am eager to read your thoughts on them!

Michael
