| New to DAC, need advice. Another question is portability. Some DACs can be used will cell phones and other potable devices and then plug into a system at home. Is that a requirement? | |
| New to DAC, need advice. I may have missed it up thread, OP, but what is your budget? Also, do you need a CDP? Many players have Digital inputs so that their DACs can be used by other digital sources | |
| Oppo Ceasing production I ordered a 203 yesterday. I use a 105 as a Digital transport into a Bryston DAC3 in my two channel system. The Oppo will output DSD from SACD into the Bryston over HDMI. I have two HT systems in my house and had been toying with the idea of mo... | |
| Oppo Ceasing production Any thoughts that the Sony Universal Player cut into their disc player market? | |
| Oppo 105, Oppo 205, or Legacy SACD (Esoteric, Cary CD 306, etc) I would get the Oppo 205 for your SACDs. It will also output DSD over HDMI. It will be an upgrade over your current system for SACD replay and then when your budget allows it can be a transport for a DAC that will accept DSD over HDMI, such as t... | |
| Best Server Software Th thanks for the interest. While the BS OS has been buggy, my beef goes beyond that, into the basic way that it organizes (or not) discs. | |
| What other streaming services do you recommend besides Tidal? I tried Tidal, but I listen to a lot of Classical and find it’s interface unusable for that genre. Apple has an easier interface than Spotify, the other service that I have tried, but they both deep catalogs. I’m waiting for Quobuz. I also tr... | |
| Why did it take so long Digital digital does indeed sound better now than at it’s inception but should that be such a surprise? LP playback improved, and continues to improve, throughout it’s lifetime | |
| Mytek Brooklyn Mytek responded to a follow up question that I had about upgrading my Manhatten. The M1 has a FireWire input that I like and use with a MacBook. The M2 swaps this out for a usb. My question was if I will lose the FW input with the upgrade, and ... | |
| Please , Thank you.Help in choosing a CD or a CD/Universal player I don’t regard my Oppo 105 as bright. I laughed at the the first comment about this. It is highly resolving, so if you have bright sounding music, that’s what you will hear. I had the Rega Apollo, many years ago. It was murder trying to get it... | |
| Mytek Brooklyn Michael has also contacted me tonight about my unanswered query of upgrading M1 to M2. I appreciate his response and I really appreciate the efforts of @hgeifman | |
| Please , Thank you.Help in choosing a CD or a CD/Universal player I see you don’t mention Oppo, which is puzzling as their Universal Players are generally considered great values and are market leaders. At any rate I have the 105 which plays just about everything well. Oppo’s can be programmed to output DSD fr... | |
| Mytek Brooklyn I have the First gen Manhatten and e mailed them about convertingto Gen II a few weeks ago. No response whatsoever | |
| Does a streamer do anything to the data that Tidal provides? I agree with the OP. Any computer can do what a streamer does.The advantages of streamers are basically 3 fold. First they eliminate the noise that a computer, which has many functions to do besides transmitting musical data to a DAC, will intro... | |
| Bluray Hi Rez audio I essentially use my Oppo I use my Oppo 105 as a transport. High Res and everything else except for SACD goes either Optical or SPDIF. SACD have DSD outputted over HDMI to my Bryston DAC 3, |
