| What DAC to use with a Sony XA7ES Dave, I think you will waste money if you get a cheap dac. I beleive that to beat your player, you have to spend doube of what the player costs, as far as a new source component. I don't know your speaker cables, never heard them, but if you want ... | |
| What DAC to use with a Sony XA7ES I've heard your player. It's a very nice unit. I didn't find the qualities you mentioned though. Anyway, if you want a mid priced dac, look into Bel canto DAC2 or the newer DAC3. But I would suggest looking at your interconnects and speaker cables... | |

| CD Player Recommendations 5-8k range please help Not true if you buy smart and buy used.Tvad, valid point. But hear me out, with the current cabling in that system, Levinson/B&W combo's full potential is not realized. I personally think that Levinson is a really fine player and given the con... | |
| CD Player Recommendations 5-8k range please help Corvette_tuner, I'll say it again. Cables.Try the 2 ICs I mentioned. I have B&Ws and use AZ interconnects.
