| using cary 306-200 as transport only with dcc2 dac My Cary 303/100 did very very well as a transport (I wasn't as happy with its sound as a standalone player). Dan Wright of Modwright has recently taken a look inside the 306. He's selling one that he took in as a trade - check ou the ads here to r... | |
| $1200 vs $200 cd players While you don't always get what you pay for, entry level cd or dvd players won't let you capture the full potential of your system. But, if you start off with an inexpensive but musical player then you're well placed to do in-home auditions and ma... | |
| Upcoming universal player releases any new info? Dave, This is a useful datapoint. Could you elaborate a bit more on what you like about the audio of the 10.5 and what you didn't like about the 3910? I am at this point planning on getting a 2900 or 3910 and having it modded. Thank you.- Jay | |

| Best Sounding Universal Disc Player under $2000? A refurbished Denon is a very smart buy esp if you plan to get it modded, as mods would invalidate the factory warranty anyway. I am thinking about a Modwright 2900 Universal Truth (tube output stage) to replace my Scott Nixon Tube Dac. |
