I bought a Schiit Bifrost 2/64 and got the upgrade, then noted that I didn’t have anything that could utilize Schiits touted "Nexus" USB input. I then bought one of their URD transports and a proper cable and VOILA (I’ve never used that word in writing and had to ask my wife how to spell it). For close to 2 grand I’m getting a (Redbook only) seriously great sound out of that combo. Others should pay way more for something else (please) so I can continue to gloat over my purchase of these items. The URD should be serviceable for the foreseeable future and the Bifrost is upgradeable...so hey...gloat gloat...
Time For a CD Player Upgrade
I've been using a Rega Saturn Mk 2. I recently upgraded my turntable to the Mark Levinson 5105 w/ the Ortofon Quintet Black S. In comparison my CD's are sounding overly bright. Any thoughts on a comparable upgrade to my CD listening? My budget is about $4000-5000, new or used. The Hegel Viking looks interesting. Any recommendation for an upgrade will be appreciated.
