I was surprised how much better it was than my MX119 or direct from my MCD500. I did not tell my wife that I had put it I place and she asked what did you do, things sound so much better. 
HDCD FLAC FOOBAR SPDIF Cary 303/200 HDCD
I have ripped all of my CDs in FLAC or APE. All of my HDCD's play on my 306/200 and 302/200 with the HDCD light on through coax, toslink or AES. Windows tends to mess up the outgoing bit stream. Use ASIO or Direct Sound in your sound card. Get a g...

Cary 306/200 -- Still near state of the art?
I directly compared my friends BDP-83se to my Cary 306/200 and the Cary blew the OPPO away.I was thinking that it would be nice to get an OPPO, but it would not be a replacement for my Cary. 
My email with Oppo re: BDP-83SE as usb/PC dac
I was disappointed with the following Oppo emails. I wish I could convince them to add a digital input so I could use the Oppo as a 2 channel DAC.To Oppo:I just read on a forum that OPPO was looking at adding a digital input onto the BDP-83SE. I w... 
Cary 306/200 and the Logitech Transporter
I use my Cary 306/200 as a DAC. I found that the digital stream sounds great especially with a good sound card. I use an RME card in my PC.

MC 402 vs. MC 7300
When I went from my MC252 to my MC501's I was very surprised at how dramatic the difference was and I normally listen at very low volumes. I immediately heard more accurate bass and much fuller mid range. If you can, listen to the MC501's before y... 
Cary 303/300 or Musical Fidelity A5 with Mac gear?
I have a Cary 303/200 and two Cary 306/200's. I find they are much better than my Lavry DA10 DAC which is comparable to the Benchmark. The Cary 303/300 is meant to be even better sounding, but having a digital input is very important to me. I was ...
