What should I do to improve my digital sound?


DAC or SACD??? Help
Is Musical Fidelity A324 the ansewer or MSB Link DAC III (with all the upgrades) or should I just get give up on CD's & get a SACD Sony SCD X-777ES ($1200 in NYC).

CD Player is Meridain 506.20
AMP is Audio Research VT100 MKII
Speakers are Pro Acs 2.5
Melos PreAmp SHA1
VPI Turntable Van den Hul MM2
McCormick Phono PreAmp.

I had a 506.24 & sold it for a 508.20 because it had the older transport & balanced outs. Your 506.20 should have the older transport & should have a pretty smooth sound. Meridians are known for a more "laid back" sound but I have tweaked mine with Blackgates & Schottky's, Soler Points & a TG Audio 688 PC & I think it sounds pretty good. I'm also using Luminous Audio Synchestra Sigs. No digital glare in addition to a great sounding unit.

I decided to make my system digital only & have done what I think is necessary to get the most out of this format within my budget. All together, about $2500.00 for everything digital. That's a good 2k less than retail.
