| Big source improvement using CD player @roberttdid,Yeah the BOT is a very simple device, not a single button on it. It buffers the read into memory, then error correction is done before sending it on to the BDP, as I understand it. I don’t know that much about Bryston but their support... | |
| Big source improvement using CD player This is a mosh pit, i jump in. I been traveling this road for a time. I started streaming years ago with one of the first Sonos zone players & Napster. Quickly switched over to Deezer streaming at 16/48 as they had an exclusive contract with S... | |

| Parasound A21+ or PS Audio S700 monos? @mgrif104I was considering Parasound when I bought my S300. Then I talked to a person in the sales industry who was familiar with both and said to go with the S300. Been pretty happy with it so far. I matched it up with a Tube pre and a DAC tha... | |
| Parasound A21+ or PS Audio S700 monos? I have the S300 and like it but am interested how this turns out. Might have to move up to the 700 | |
