| Favorite DAC? I love my Bel Canto DAC2, but while I auditioned lots of single box CD players, the Bel Canto is the only DAC I auditioned. Have fun listening! | |
| Good cd player and a great DAC or great cd player? I just thought I'd post my "final" system. I decided to go with the new Denon 5900 universal player as my transport. I just brought it home yesterday, and I am in love.At a trusted adviser urging I tried the Sony DVD99ES first, and was totally uni... | |
| Universal Players. Marantz 8400 vs.Denon 5900 I haven't heard the Marantz, but I can give the Denon a rave. I'm a new convert to SACD. I tried the Sony DVD 999ES and I own the Sony 775 carousel. I can't recommed either one. In both cases, the CD layer sounds better going through my DAC2 than ... | |
| Need a transport solution-Suggestions? PC based? They do, but it's not ideal. A good quality transport will out perform the recommended DVD player by quite a bit. | |
| Good cd player and a great DAC or great cd player? Thanks for your thoughts.The Ikemi is a dealer demo, which I have been assured is well broken in. And we used a sound level meter to make sure the volume was almost identical. I'd say it was a fair test.As for the not being able to tell the differ... | |

| Good cd player and a great DAC or great cd player? OK, I can't resist sharing my updates as they come. We connected the sony carousel to the DAC2 using toslink and the DVD player using coax and used the switch on the unit to A/B (finally a use for the multiple copies of the cds we brought into thi... | |
| Good cd player and a great DAC or great cd player? Bel Canto first thoughts: It arrived about 2 hours ago. I have it hooked up to JVC DVD player for initial impressions. (We'll begin all the transport switching later. I can't get to anything else. This I didn't need the husband for.) First impress... | |
| Good cd player and a great DAC or great cd player? Conscious, We started off looking at receivers: the Marantz, the Onkyo, the Denon, and the Harmon Kardon...the high end of mass market stuff. When we looked at separates, we looked at Adcom and Rotel...both of which are more expensive than the Out... | |
| Bel Canto DAC 2 or Ikemi? Thanks for your response!While, I recognize that the CD3 had technically supperior performance (more dynamic range, more space, etc.), it didn't make me want to keep listening like the Ikemi did. It didn't get my heart pumping. Isn't that actually... | |
