 I tell them that my stereo takes me to places that my car never will This is so true mahler123. Very well said.I will have to hear these 2 DACs personally. Thank You for your feedback. Trying to convince my wife to make a trip to Chicago AXPON...

np mahler123. You are so lucky to be able to compare 3 very good digital products! If I read your post correctly, are you indicating that you prefer the Mytek over Bryston for CD playback? I have the Bryston on my mind for future upgrade. Can't af... 
Bryston BDA-3
@mahler123,I am wondering - DSD does not output from coax in case of Oppo. So how were you able to compare the same SACD on Bryston Vs Mytek? Or maybe I got it wrong, and you are comparing only the PCM on both the DACs? 
When and how did you, if at all, realize vinyl is better?
I tried to listen to LPs on a few occasions, at some dealers setup. And these setups were comparable, dollar-wise, to the digital rig in the same system, or my system. When you compare the dollar-wise investment in analog and digital, I found the ...

@mahler123,How long have you been using the Mytek? Is the Bryston BDA-3 new in your system? Curious because many reviewers seem to like th Bryston. How are you playing the SACDs on the Mytek? 
High Quality Universal Player??
@thaluza,I hope Oppo gets the AKM top-of-the-line DAC in UDP-205. The best thing about this player is, it does not have the "apps" which would make loading faster. The only discouraging info in - they have decided to do away with HDCD. 
HOLO Audio Spring DAC: Affordable discrete R2R Multibit Dac, could be a winner.
George,I was wondering about the initial excitement about Holo and then things simply died down. I would be more interested to find how the Holo compares against Bryston BDA-3. And I am not interested technology-wise, but sound-wise. 
WHAT'S UP WITH MARANTZ?
Ye, bummer indeed. But looks like we will get another catalog with corrected photo. Man they have been sending many catalogs. 
Proac Response D 48/Tannoy Kensington
@kclone ,Yes, I have already figured out a dealer in Chicago area, for those. I will have to travel a few hours to get there. Also found out dealers for Spendor and PMC in that area. It is just a matter of time between job, family and other priori...

@heinrichmilw Would love to see your system, with those ProAcs. While I am eyeing them, they are a bit out-of-budget for me. But I can always ogle in other's systems :-) 
WHAT'S UP WITH MARANTZ?
@hifiman5,You are right. On page 62, they have shown and listed "champagne only" for $6999. Strangely it is not on their site.@honeybee2012,You should call up Audio advisor and order one right away, if that catalog is right. 
Sound quality of a Bryston BDA-1 vs the BDA-2 or BDA-3
You should checkout the Bryston page on audiocircle dot com. People have posted their experiences there. Already 35 pages on BDA-3. 
The Final Answer
@onhwy61  Being an audiophile is not a competition with other audiophiles or even a challenge to yourself. It's more about enjoying music that is also well reproduced. Very well said! 
interconnects vs speaker cables vs power cords - which make the biggest difference?
My experience has been that, the speaker cable upgrade made the biggest difference.
