What does it take to be a die hard Beatles fan?
I was born AFTER the Beatles disbanded. But I have all their original Albums (not the BBC,etc) and they get regular play in my system. I like they music making and that makes me a fan. I have never watched their documentary nor any other film. May...

New DACs High End Munich 2023
Ok, let me check that out too. Thanks. Was trying to find more information on new DACS and read about Henry Audio DAC. Of course not something that I am looking for; but had not heard of them before.

@jayctoy , I have not read a single bad review about the Marantz. While it is not my top choice, it is a device that I could live with a very long time, since I used to own a Marantz a few years ago and I know the house sound.

@ja_kub_sz , Thanks for the recommendation. Yes, I have seen it go both ways. But some do love it and are very happy with the Musetec.

@jayctoy , I will be looking for the following DACs, but will take my time - Chord Hugo TT2 , Terminator Plus, Okto Stereo and Bricasti. I want to visit some bigger cities before I am able to make a decision. My timeline is in the next 3-6 months....

Buy a DAC that you won’t feel the need to upgrade in a year or two So, if you notice my system, I am long time "keeper. I am not a person who sells within 4-5 years. Most of my components are long term and I try to derive maximum joy before mov...

One thing I did forget to mention, since folks discussed using the Oppo's HDMI. The CD playback from my current Oppo is "average". When you playback using USB, it is a vastly positive experience. The last time I used it as a CD player was in June-...

@jayctoy , I understand your requirement now. I did see that you have multiple systems. Yes, love the Rhumba, especially with the NOS Mazda tubes. I really have no preference to tech when it comes to DACs. Chip, R2R, FPGA, does not matter. All th...

@jayctoy , You already own the excellent Marantz SA10. I am wondering what this player/DAC lacks? If I had that one, I would simply stop looking. But maybe you are searching for something different? @arafiq , Believe me, the T+A DAC 200 is on t...

I agree @hgeifman  And I am completely with you @lalitk. Tubes in preamp is fine with me. I don't want tubes in my DAC.

Great questions and suggestions. Thank You for that. As far as improvements are concerned - Oppo is a jack of all. So I am expecting more resolution from a dedicated DAC. FGPA DACs - I have been eyeing used Hugo TT2 for sometime now. About the ...

T+A Dac 200 HDMI issues
@cleeds , I am not sure I got this: He probably won't be able to rip at full resolution I was able to use a Sony bluray player to rip all my SACDs to DSF files. I believe Oppo 103 can also be used to rip SACDs to DSF files.
