| Looking for new to me Jazz music Hello again hilde45,It’s funny you mentioned The Tord Gustavsen Trio. I ordered “The Other Side” by them a little while ago. Not sure why it’s not here yet, but I bet C-19 has something to do with it.Stay safe.JD | |
| What’s the best DAC match for the Cambridge Audio CXC original or V2? chayro,I’ve never heard of Heed Audio, I’m sure there’s hundreds of companies I can say that about, but I will definitely check them out.ThanksJD | |
| What’s the best DAC match for the Cambridge Audio CXC original or V2? hilde45, I agree 100%. That’s why I asked the question here. With so many of the brick and mortar stores no longer open, I’m hoping to narrow the list to a few. Shipping costs and return policies will unfortunately have to play into my choice as... | |
| What’s the best DAC match for the Cambridge Audio CXC original or V2? twoleftears,Border patrol looks interesting and they have a 14 day return policy. I’m not sure if that applies on this side of the ditch, but I’ll check.All the best.JD | |
| What’s the best DAC match for the Cambridge Audio CXC original or V2? jjss49,I’m looking for a warm, even sound. What do I mean by even? The Bifrost seems to have its focus 25% on the low end, 60% on the high end and 10% on everything else. I’ve had two other less expensive DAC’s that were only noticeable on the... | |

| What’s the best DAC match for the Cambridge Audio CXC original or V2? pmm,The Bifrost brightened everything including how the bass sounds. By doing this it de muddled the bass a bit (which I like), but I’m not crazy about the rest.All the best.JD | |

Kinda like elevik saying the tra... | |
| What’s the best DAC match for the Cambridge Audio CXC original or V2? So fuzztone, you’re saying all dacs sound the same with all transports? Not one sounds better or worse with any transport? I guess all phono carts sound the same with all tone arms or phono preamps?? | |
| What’s the best DAC match for the Cambridge Audio CXC original or V2? Thanks elevick,With me having a tube preamp and tube outputs on my amps, do you think it might end up being tooo warm? The Bifrost is pretty cold, so it seems to work well with my setup, but if I get a CXC, is there a DAC you’d suggest I try?All t... | |
