The Perpetual Technologies P-3, with the $300 modifications to the analog section by Dan Wright of Modwright is quite an improvement over the stock P-3 and is endorsed by Perpetual Tech (does not void warranty). Already modified units can be bought directly from ModWright for $1095. I haven't compared it with the EVS Millennium, but I'm quite happy with my modified P-3.
Perpetual vs EVS millenium II for CAL
I own a CAL CL-10. Has anyone compared the new millenium II with the P-3? Would it be better to just upgrade the CL-10? I have a Mesa Baron tube amp and Transcendent GG pre. Good sound but I have been told that the new DAC's could give me a substantial improvement ie- more detail, deeper soundstage. I've also heard that a transport and DAC loses 10 % of the signal and that it's better to mod the actual CDP. Also- how about the Wright mods to the Perpetual compared to the Millenium II?-- I know- alot of questions- Thanks in advance for your opinions
