| Mohican vs BCD-3 Yo answer your question, no, haven't heard either one. Are both of them CDPs that don't accept digital inputs? If so I would put the money into a DAC/transport. I do have the Bryston BDA-3 DAC and I've read that the CDP sounds the same | |
| Best universal disc player that has great audio reproduction? Why not buy a better DAC than the Oppo for 2 grand and continue to use the Oppo as a CD transport and to play Blu Rays, etc? | |
| Looking for Better Jitter Reduction in a DAC NAD Master series had a DAC that I was looking at about a year back that had an IS2 input and was going for about a grand used and got a favorable review from J.A. In Stereophile. | |
| Programming track playback order on a CD player- anyone use it? It's just easier to use the remote to play the tracks that you want to hear. The last time that I used the program feature on a CDP was before CD recorder functionality, when I would record a CD to a cassette tape | |
| Oppo Vs Esoteric what is your budget, Jonas? | |
| Oppo 203 setup/tweaks I assume that the OP is not using an external DAC? | |
| Oppo Vs Esoteric OP....I have an Opp 105 which I use as a transport into 2 DACs, the Mytek Manhatten and the Bryston BDA 3. Both DACs clearly smoke the native Oppo DAC. I have never heard Esoteric but when I listen to high Res Downloads or SACD with Oppo/Bryston... | |
| Crazy to buy a 17 year old CD Player? To the OP question, Yes it would be crazy to buy a 17 year old cdp.chances are the laser or transport won't last and be difficult to replace as many have noted. More importantly the DAC probably won't be as good as many that are obtainable on you... | |
| How Is MQA Fareing? @bkmaxeyVery interesting. Thank you posting that. You'll never see that point of view in Stereophile or The Absolute Sound. | |
| Can anyone please recommend warm sounding transport/DAC to replace tubed cdp ? I have the Silverlines in my HT system. .love them | |
| How Is MQA Fareing? 2L recordings sound impressive enough through non MQA equipment. For me the question would be how does regular, non Audiophile recordings fare? | |
| Bluesound Node 2 I compared the Oppo 105--and perhaps you are not interested in that-to the Bluesound Vault 2, which I believe has the same DAC chip as the Node 2. The Oppo is better but it was subtle. Presumably the 205 would widen that gap a bit.it should be n... | |
| Dragonfly Red in desktop system - replace with Schiit Bifrost Multibit? I agree, I suspect it's the speakers. However, the best way to find out is to see if you can borrow a different set of speakers or a DAC and see for yourself | |
| NEW DAC PS Audio Direct Stream DAC or Keep What I Have I'd be interested in your conclusion as to whether the PSAudio bests the Wyred 4 Sound | |
| Suggestions on Better Server Setup than Mac Mini It's amusing to read posts here from people who are suggesting tweaks to the OP to improve the sound, when the OP has made it clear that sound isn't the issue, but reliability. The OP is fed up with trying to make a computer work as a music playe... |
