Resolutions Audio Opus 21 VS. Cary 306 SACD

I have not heard it. No local dealer. I have camelot Uther MK3 and Camelot Rountable now. How will it sound compared to that?

Question for Cary owners regarding output level. The 3V ouput of the 306 SACD may be too high for my system so that at step one of my preamp's stepped attenuator the volume will be too high for late night listening. Is this output level able to be reduced, either through the player's electronics somehow, or maybe by a dip switch inside or a change of a resistor? Thanks

I would go with a Wadia 860 or 861 they are many times better sounding.

Mealone, I am sure the Wadia is better, but at a different price bracket. Even 2nd hand, they are way more than the Opus and Cary. My GNSC modded Opus 21 should arrive next week and I expect it to near the Wadia, maybe better it in some areas, we shall see

My pick 'd be the cary 306. It is very balanced and refined for the price. It'd also depend on whether u need vol conrol.

In my system, i prefered cary 306 to wadia 861 & 581 & 302. At the time, I listened only to digital. I really wanted to stick with wadia due to convenience & cost (savings on IC & preamp & one less power cord) but in the end, I prefer cary with a good preamp.

I also own a esoteric x01 and it is slightly better than the cary. I auditioned (not home demo) EMM & DCS which i think is also slightly better than the cary. i wish i can find a digital player that is many times better than another.
