New DAC for Sony SCD-777ES SACD player.?
I still love my Richard Kern modified Sony SACD
player. In my ears better than Oppo
UDP-205 that I bought to replace it with. It is now almost 20 years since
these came out.
Like many of these units, the SACD laser is not
working as well. But CD is still flawless.
How about buying a DAC for Redbook?
Would a Schiit, Benchmark, Mytek, iFi, or Ayre make a real difference.
(The musical experience from my analog turntable set up is still much superior.)
Thank you.I have a 105 that I DIYed via PNP a new LPM and IEC Furutech rhodium with pure silver tails to the LPM board and ground (both from Ebay) a couple years ago now. No issues, BUT, I stumbled across the Technics SL G700 SACD and streamer that has incredible attention to detail. I started a thread for input MSRP $3000. I am anxious to compare, but $3000 is a bit out of reach right now |
dcaudioIt uses a Sony KHM-230AAA laser still available still cheap, if your mechanically minded should be about 1hrs work to put in. Buying the whole mech/laser is far easier to put in than just the laser. https://www.ebay.com.au/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=Sony+KHM-230AAA&_sacat=0&rt=nc&LH_... As far as a dac goes, to me only R2R dacs for Redbook, and for reasonable priced one Soekris has good ones and know what he's doing with R2R. The pic for me is the 1541. http://www.soekris.dk/ Cheers George |
