| Esoteric K-01 To chime in on the topic input quality here, I'm also inclined to state that, over the years, Audiofeil´s sour sarcasm and aggressiveness are hardly enjoyable. Ceaseless negative posting in the h-cat preamp thread comes to mind. Maybe Audiofeil ha... | |
| I can't tell the difference Mustard, let me unload a well known message here: break in, break in. How much time did you grant the V-dac before critical listening? I know it's hard to grasp how long fine dacs (no moving parts, only kind of electronic alchemy) need to come to ... | |
| Onebox solution with grunt? You might have a look on Ayon's CD5 or Skylla DAC. Reviews attest something like grunt there. However, so many interesting onebox contenders out there, Wadia 381, Accuphase or new Resolution Cantata come to mind. | |
| DACs with volume control ? Give the CEC DA 53N a try. Compared to my stock transporter, which sounds really big, clean and detailed albeit a bit 2D-like, the CEC renders the stage more in a 3D-manner. Very refined sound as well. However it needs 2-3 days burn-in. And it doe... | |
| Best Cd Player under $4000? Not denying the importance of careful speaker placement, I would suggest not to underestimate what the source can do. Try listen to a (thoroughly burned-in) Accuphase DP500 and check out soundstage depth and intrument color (others like new Esoter... | |
| How good is Accuphase DP-700 SACD/CD Player Memo84,please be sure to report your findings concerning the dp-700.. I have also tried the dp-500 at home and found it incredible (however only after 3-4 days burn-in). Thanks! | |
| Best one-box CD player with USB input Exlibris,check out Audionet Art G2 - might be exactly what you're looking for. | |
| new Accuphase dp 500? To make the DP500-song complete: one should definitely also use it´s DAC section. I connected my squeezebox via TOSlink to the digital input, and Pandora sounded suddenly nearly as impressive as the CD section..regards | |
| new Accuphase dp 500? I would second Nolitan´s findings. The DP-500 made a 5-days test appearance in my system. Directly driving my active Avantgarde Acoustic Solo speakers, it was an absolutely compelling experience.Detail, space, body and colours were wonderful AND m... | |
| Accuphase CD players versus Naim CD players Fernando,I am based in Germany and here it´s listed with 5.6 k Euro. I´ve read elsewhere the US-price tag for the DP 500 is 5.9 k or so. Just check with the US distributor. Good luck! | |
| Accuphase CD players versus Naim CD players Cytocycle, Amphibious, Fpooyandeh, concerning your statements about Accuphase players lacking transparency: you certainly didn´t give the latest models a try. Up to last weekend I didn´t have any experience with the brand, but after three days of ... |
