| Simaudio 260D - As transport Just received today the Simaudio 260DT (transport version only) first nothing special but after an hour operation... oh my god... the soundstage became huge, massive dynamics,excellent separation and transparency.Everything is more natural and eff... | |
| Cambridge Audio 851N Music player/DAC Maybe you right because I heard the 851C and it's a great CD player one of the best I ever heard . | |
| Airist Audio discrete R-2R DAC, at an unbelievable $350!!!!! A firm that selling men'a accessories,cooking,watches and so on looks very suspicious to me to buy a DAC from them looks very suspicious for me . | |
| Cambridge Audio 851N Music player/DAC I heard the 851N at my dealer showroom ,it's not bad player but I felt that the inner DAC isn't great one. | |
| Tried CD player Cary 300/300 and LOVED it, now what? Buy CD transport without inner DAC one of CEC or Simaudio models and connect it to a DAC ,The improvement will be much much better ,Don’t use the stock cables good coax and power cords are a must . | |
| Surprised Many years ago had 7.1 system with a sub the sound was rubbish, Moved to 2 floorstanders with a sub to found out it’s extremely difficult to get the sub tuned correctly now my Proac floorstanders go down to 25 Hz and driven with the McIntosh reall... | |
| DEDICATED CD PLAYER $1K AND UNDER, THOUGHTS? tweak1Blu-Ray and DVD aren't great as transport it's better to use dedicated CD transport without build in DAC to an extrnal dedicated DAC,moreover coax digital cables are better than Toslink ones. | |
| DEDICATED CD PLAYER $1K AND UNDER, THOUGHTS? In my humble opinion gone the days that hi-res were suppirier over CDs just hook up reasonable CD transport ,quality digital cable to a good DAC and you’ll hear any difference compare to hi-res files.The current DACs sold today are so good that yo... | |
| Proac Response D30 DS I had the chance listening to the B&W 804D and Proac DT8 side by side it was a big surprise that the modest 2.5 way DT8 didn’t embarrass the bigger 3 way B&W double bass drivers at all they were very close in any aspect with minor advantag... | |
| Proac Response D30 DS Listened to the D18,D20,DT8,Studio 148 and from my experience:Mine 140MKII are punchy,detailed with excellent bass but lacks the musicality,sweetness and effortless of the D18 and D20.The D18 is laid back and lacks the wonderful Ribbon tweeters of... | |
| Proac Response D30 DS I decided to be open minded , still considering to buy the new Proac D30 RS once the funds allow to .The D48R is not suitable to my limited space the D30 will be probably fine .Last week I heard the D20 at my dealer show room and completely loved ... | |
| Anyone heard/own Xindak SCD-2 Tube SACD/CD player? Maybe some of your CDs are scratched,Some CDPs' lasre tend to be fussy . | |
| Proac Response D30 DS Just now noticed the drivers of the new D30 RS made of pulp which I heard before in the Studio 148 (Proac stop to sell this model last year) and didn’t like at all it lacks the delicacy,clarity and transparency of the carbon fiber drivers which I ... | |
| Proac Response D30 DS @carmenc Yes my room is definitely too small for the D48 it’s not an option for me at all the bass will be too excessive and the soundstage will be probably out of control.@milpai How do you find the bottom end of the D30 ? Is there a big differen... | |
| Proac Response D30 DS My room is 13 X 10.My amplification is McIntosh MC152 and D100.I think in terms of power and room size the D30 is the right choice but I am afraid although in terms of transparency and details it’s much better than mine 140 MKII the D30 won’t have... |
