I have the Audiolab CDT6000 cd transport and an MHDT Orchid DAC (tube) connected via a high quality Toslink Wireworld Super Nova 7 feeding into my Apogee Acoustics Duetta II Signatures full range ribbons speakers. The setup sounds incredible. I highly recommend the combo. The Orchid is $1,200 (Linear Tube Audio) and the Audiolab CDT6000 is $600 (as mentioned above). Feel the music!
Will a new Dac improve the sound?
I have an older CD player( Cary CDP1) . It sounds good ,but would a new or used Dac in the line improve the sound? Looking at Dacs in the $600 - $1200 range. I know the other equipment would also matter in the outcome, but as a general question......do you think this would be an upgrade to the sound? Or should i go another route?
