Very good DAC with volume control output
Birdland too. But I have not heard it. 
CD players, one box or seperates?
I am guessing it is harder for smaller companies to manufacture transports. So the selection of high value DACS are many... MSB, Perpetual, etc. So many really great DACS for cheap. 
dvd player plus d/a/c OR dedicated cd
DAC definately. Especially if you need a "changer". Forget buying a better quality CD changer. Keep the one you got. I see the MSBIII DAC being sold for $300. You should be able to get an MSBII for about $200. You will hear a substantial improvmen... 
Acoustic Zen Satori-How Good Are They?
Another new, hot cable seems to be the Coincident. There have been positive postings regarding these cables similar to the Zen. Has anyone compared these to the Zen? 
Which MIT speaker cable?
I agree. I see used 330II interconnect on Audiogon for about $100. Cable has big full midrange sound. Great for vocals. 
Sony 9000 ES SACD output stage cold
Sorry! I have a 777, and the post is about a 9000. Probably similar sound however. 
Sony 9000 ES SACD output stage cold
Darrell- I recently had a similar post. As Rrsclyde correctly states, the sound is indeed warmer, smoother. (PT P1A/P3A? this is a reasonably priced DAC I think so i assume he agrees the 777 on redbook is weak) It is also less open and transparent... 
My Stan Warren DVD Player Arrived Yahoo
I drilled holes in the back of my Frigidaire freezer. I ran the speaker cables out the back and siliconed around them for a tight fit. I set the freezer on the coldest possible setting. All my components fit nicely in the freezer rack and CD's fit... 
How good is MSB Link III?
I have a 777 and had the MSB II. I believe 777 is almost the same as SCD-1 except that it is balanced and cheaper. (correct me if i am wrong). I thought I answered the question. Also- MSB and DVD player should be much cheaper. MSB III $399. 24/96 ... 
CDP suggestions for bright system?
I know there is no way you can get one for $500, but in my opinion the Sony SACD players are "overly" smooth. They more than compensate for that bright CD sound that we have tried to cure with warmer sounding components and never quite worked out.... 
Sony 900ES SACD sound vs CD - Help
But the problem is you CAN get BETTER redbook sound with a cheaper DAC. under $1k. you should listen. or maybe you just haven't heard. and now you are misleading others. 
SONY SCD-1 UPGRADE
PLEASE SEND ME UPGRADE INFORMATION. 
How good is MSB Link III?
Yes, it will be better on regular CD's. The MSB is very good despite it's reasonable price. Owned an MSB and a Sony 777. 
Sony 900ES SACD sound vs CD - Help
I agree. however some of the new SACD's are simply recorded better. I find the MSB is substantially better on red book CD's and in "some ways" better compared to the SACDs. Don't sell the MSB like I did. oh- and if you are waiting for the unit to ... 
What time do you wear?
Princess- I thought this was an audio site.
