You also have to take into account which transport and digital cable you are were or are using with any dac before you can compare the sound to a one box player imho. TG
Musical Fidelity comparison A5 CD to A3 24/192
Looking for feedback from someone who has had Both the A5 CD player and the A3 24/192 DAC. I currently have an A3 24/192 DAC in my system and am looking to upgrade. Is their a significant difference in the sound of these units? Would this be a recommended way to go? While I must say that while the sound of the DAC is not unpleasant, I am just looking for more depth and detail.
