Schiit CD Transport on the way soon.
It’s like Jaguar and their XK-E back in the days. Enzo Ferrari said it was the most beautiful car ever designed and they only fetch a fraction of what a used Ferrari would, due to so many being made compared to the relative scarcity of Ferraris.XK-E one of the most beautiful car made https://ibb.co/CJkGn3j Beaten only by the XJ13 https://ibb.co/WvhTBX4 https://ibb.co/B2dYsgx |
There's clearly stuff going on at Schitt with this second factory/center opening in Corpus Christi, and the Sol being put on indefinite hiatus. I imagine they're also affected by the issues with parts supply. People have been complaining about the wait time for units that are in current production, so it's not as if they have any slack to take up. |
That Xj13 is a beauty. Thank goodness Jaguar had the presence of mind to resume building the rest of the D-types from the early fifties back in 2018: https://www.dezeen.com/2018/02/08/jaguar-resumes-production-iconic-d-type-racing-car-salon-retromobile/ And if you have any money left over from your audio purchases, you can always request one from their offices, stateside:https://www.motorauthority.com/news/1118322_jaguar-land-rover-building-classic-car-department-in-us My dad used to work on cars as a side job and brought home a customers XK-120 for me to drive around the block. It was beautiful, but a clumsy car to drive. It could have been just the condition it was in. All the best, Nonoise |

I hope it’s a minimalist design like the 47 Laboratory Flatfish CD transport Don’t think so, they’ve already said something about it being able to give out a few different output configurations, that’s why the delay probably, as I think it was either the usb or hdmi a while back that was giving troubles with certain dacs. I haven’t listen to it all but the post above yours of mine has more info in the video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFt8u9stoKQ Cheers George |
Given all the uncertainties of the Schiit player (will it appear? when? cost? reliability?) I've pretty much decided to buy the Cambridge CXC V-2. It's been around for ~5-6 years, has a good reputation for sound quality and I haven't found any online complaints about reliability. Any opinions on reliability and experience Cambridge customer service? |
Any opinions on reliability and experience Cambridge customer service? Yeah, I had one, it was good better than the other cheap UK slot loaded other one that some like here, even started a thread on it here for memory. But an old Teac VRDS-7 that I gutted the dac out of, to make it a dedicated transport sounded much better. And on the scope had a far better squarer cleaner eye pattern. Cheers George |
