Deliciously musical...Mytek DSD 192 DAC
Reviving this thread again.Assuming that NAD adds DSD capability to the M51, will it be possible stream SACDs DSD "out" through HDMI from an Oppo BDP 105 to HDMI "in" on the NAD? What chip is NAD using currently in the M51? Will the "out" from Opp... 
Disappointed to hear that Cary has no CD Players.
What is it with "audio only" players that either do SACD or DSD, but not both? The Cary DMC600 is the most ideal "audio only" player, except that it does not have SACD capability. 
Listening chair suggestions
Go for the Jappling chair from IKEA, with the matching footrest. I replaced my Poang with this one and I love it. But I do understand that it is not available at every IKEA store. But you also have other IKEA chairs that are very close to the Japp... 
Two-channel is inferior to multi-channel, no?
I wish professional audio-reviewers would have supported SA-CDs when they first came around, as they do now to Multi-channel and DACs. We would have gotten a lot more multi-channel contents (with very good mastering) and would have found more audi... 
Signal Cable Reference speaker cable???
Sunnyjim,I switched from Nordost 4-Flat bi-wires to Signal Cable Silver Res bi-wires. This was a HUGE upgrade for me. My system does not sound bring at all. I feel, in my system, the Silvers serve me pretty well. I do not have the urge to upgrade ... 
Oppo DV-981HD for $50 for 2ch?
Congrats!! 
Signal Cable Reference speaker cable???
Been using Signal Cable wires throughout my system since 2005. The Silver References are simply awesome and neutral. Very detailed and transparent. Phenomenal value for money. Highly recommended! 
Oppo DV-981HD for $50 for 2ch?
You will NOT find a better transport for $50. And I am saying this, since I own the Oppo 970 HD. I am sure the 981 is a step up. Go for it! 
Review: Promitheus Reference C-Core Preamplifier
I agree that Nicholas needs to do a better job.With there recent review in Stereophile, I am assuming that they have [probably] changed their mode of operation. But it will take them quite some time to regain the popularity that they lost to all t... 
Review: Promitheus Reference C-Core Preamplifier
Brownsfan,I agree with you on the C-Core. Pretty happy with my Reference C-Core. And my system has been matched to be passive friendly, although it is a solid-state only system and average speaker sensitivity. I am planning of getting a new CDP in... 
Has the Oppo carried the AV industry?
Oppo is the ONLY player I know that can do CD/HDCD, SACD, DVD-A, PCM/DSD DAC (FLAC/WAV, etc), Blu-Ray audio. All this besides doing video.I would like to know if anyone has compared a Marantz SA11-S3 Vs this Oppo 105. It may be scales of economy -... 
Sara K SACD vs. XRCD
Thanks David! Added to my list :-) 
Review: Promitheus Reference C-Core Preamplifier
Brownsfan,What was your conclusion between the TVC and the Statement? Do you still have both in your system? 
Crimson Speaker Cables?
Sonic_genius and Audiolabyrinth,Any reason why people should not post on old threads?I believe people "happen" upon something good and are curious to find if someone else had the experience as they had. I don't find it odd or funny. Maybe I am mis... 
Sara K SACD vs. XRCD
David,I agree on both counts. Sara K is really under appreciated and so is Stockfich Records. Their SACDs sound phenomenal!The only issue with Stockfish SACDs is, once those SACDs go through your system, the rest of the CDs start sounding less dyn...
