I've owned the Muse M2, and Adcom 600 and 700 DACs. They are all very good, but perhaps a bit "dated" in the fast moving digital world. But they will certainly improve inexpensive CD players. I haven't heard it, but based on reputation, reviews etc., I'd take a hard look (listen) at the up to date Bel Canto if you can find one within your budget. The others are available at very reasonable prices. Good Hunting. Craig
Suggestions For A DAC
I ask your for your wisdom and comments on finding a good used DAC. With all the new technology coming fast and furious, it seems like there are alot of good deals out there on used DACs. Some that I am considering Cal Audio Alpha, Muse Model 2, Adcom GDA 600/700, Bel Canto. Are tube units as good as SS? Also, is 96k upsampling worth it? I listen to mostly jazz and my budget is around $500-$800. My current system is: McIntosh MA6450 integrated amp, MCD7008 changer and Boston Acoustic A-150 speakers.
Thanks in advance.
