the more bits the merrier?


I am considering purchase of a modestly priced cd player to augment my lp rig. I am a bit confused by the competing claims of various manufacturers and technologies. Can anyone tell me which sounds better (generally speaking, as I'm old enough to know there are exceptions to everything!), a single bit dac, 8 bit dac, or 24 bit dac? Thanks much, Ben

You must listen for yourself and decide. Give two engineers the exact same parts and you'll get two different sounding devices. Don't get hung up on what's inside the box or what other people think.

That being said, I think nonos is the bees knees. But I don't know if it exists in a one box player.
