Will Bel Canto DAC-1 improve EAD CD-1000?


EAD is HDCD series II unit. Any inexpensive suggestions to help this already good CD player? System leans towards the bright side of things. Some digital fatigue.

My system:
Aragon 2004 amp
Aragon 18k pre
EAD CD player
Paradigm Studio 80 loudspeakers
paradigm Servo-15 sub
Kimber cables

thanks,

Absolutely !

I have used the Bel Canto DAC-1 with the EAD UltraDisc 2000 and Micromega Premium DVD2 players. You will definitely prefer to use the Bel Canto instead of these players' internal DACs.

The Bel Canto DAC-1 responds really well to a better power cord. $100 into a used Harmonic Tech Pro-AC11 cord is a must-have as the improvements are dramatic. Both myself and a friend who also has the DAC-1 agree with the power cord inmprovements.

Granite Audio 470 interconnects ( expensive ) are also a stellar performer with the DAC-1. We have compared them A-B with H.T. Pro-Silway-II and Coincident CST.

Used DAC-1's go for as low as $600 here at Audiogon.
