| Audio Note DAC 5 Special / Signature v the rest of high end? I don’t think it is fair to compare the AN with Lampi that costs 3-4x the price. The AN 5 costs similar to pavane, so that would be more appropriate comparison. O4 lampi atlantic that gas tube output too. Also other NOS like audio gd- R2R and hol... | |
| Lampizator Atlantic? Hi Guys,I came across the Lampizator DAC recently while looking for great DSD DACs which I think Lampizator specializes in, and then he has now made thee R2Rs DACs. Any new updates regards the Atlantic ? Is PCM playback as good as DSD ? I heard fr... | |
| Oppo 105, Oppo 205, or Legacy SACD (Esoteric, Cary CD 306, etc) I am planning to get the Sony SA-60, supposedly the last 1 bit DSD SACD player before they switched to the more modern multi-bit Chips . Suppose to have a great SACD sound. PS audio would be a new player that will do SACD and CD but probably work... | |
| Esoteric SA-60 Yup I am interested! though I just placed a bid on a SA-60 on the web. If I don’t succeed In winning, will contact u! The thing is that I am sick of Sabre chip. I have oppo 95. In what ways do u think the Sony is better for SACD? | |

| Oppo Vs Esoteric It appears Sony gave up on SACD m-ch after SA-60. Apparently the golden age for M-ch were the models XA 777, XA 9000se. They are still on for a $1000 or more. k-01 and others apparently do not even do DSD (forgive me if I am wrong,as there was a b... | |
| Oppo Vs Esoteric Hmm, may I ask those who has had listened to the esoteric SACD player what models are they ? I am thinking of getting a second hand exoteric mainly for SACD surround sound. | |
| Oppo UDP - 205 Hi all,Joining u guys for this discussion, though it ended months ago. I have an Oppo 95 and may consider upgrade to 205 +/- mod. But I am interested to see how the older Sony SACD sounds. I need mainly for M-CH playback for my large collection of... |
