I haven't heard the Planet in my system (but I might soon - good friend has one). I'm very sensitive to wanting bass that maintains articulation, an... | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? You two deserve a medal for swiftly making this comparison a reality. Before reading this, I had just finished boxing up the McCormack UDP-1 for return (see details in nearby thread). Your "shoot-out" reinforces my decision to continue to search f... | |
| Need your thoughts on Denon 3910 vs McCormack UDP1 I'm completing audition of UDP-1 still frustrated that I can't listen to an Exemplar or other modded Denon. Background: I found the stock 3910 (compared to my Classe CDP .5 on redbook) detailed but uninvolving and lifeless. Enter the UDP-1 5 days ... | |

My Mccormack dealer says they pointed out to the company long before release that people would be disappointed would be with no dvi/hdmi to no avail. I just bought a HDMI cable to try w... | |
| Need your thoughts on Denon 3910 vs McCormack UDP1 Wow -I'm so glad to see the action pick up on this and related thread next door! Avguru - DV50's cost, non-universal, "best w/ balanced" all rule it out. Ears - I just might see if I can readily find the Onkyo for home audition. But if there aren'... | |

| McCormack MAP-1 update Sorry!I don't know how I overlooked that. Preamp noted is Counterpoint SA5000. It has certainly brought lots of magic to my listening, and I was frankly unprepared for how little I might miss it with the MAP doing all duties.Now that I've had a co... | |
| Is Exemplar the answer? Thanks - just knowing the websites and names are a help. I'm in South Denver area - if anyone would be enough of a sport to contact me about a possible mod-to-stock Denon comparo someday that would be cool. | |
