Hi Brainwater, can you elaborate on the difference between the APL Philips SACD 1000 with Alex's new DAC chip and his new Denon 3910 project? I am curious as to the ways the Denon is better than the Philips taking into account that the only main difference is the transport mechanism (I think). Please point out the sonic virtues of each player and tell me how one is better than the other. Thanks and regards.
ultimate final word best cd set up
Seeking world class #1 top of the line choice cd system? I am too and recently i have heard the esoteric X-01 with jm labs diva utopias, bat preamp driven by a burmester amp. When the cd source was switched to a burmester I was disappointed. At first i didn't notice any difference until the esoteric was put back on and I have to say there is seldom a sound like this. I totally forgot about the equipment and focused on the music. For us not so fortunate in the financial aspect what cd players or combos (transport and dac) will approach this level but not cost nearly as much. I currently own a sony dvp 9000 es which is decent, but obviously i'ld like to have betta. thanks
