Musical cd plyer under 1k
I bought a new Sony 595 SACD player at Best Buy last year. I'm using it until I get my dac, which I will then use for computer usage. I think for the price ($120 new), it sounds very nice. I only have 1 SACD, sounds good, but the other regular cd'... 
Luxman-McIntosh CD Players
I listened to the MCD500 but not the Luxman. I thought the McIntosh was nice but not great, I was actually a little disappointed at the sound. It could have been synergy with the amps, speakers, etc. I can't remember what they were using. My impre... 
CD/SACD Player Recommendation
You should look into the Denon 100th Anniversary SACD player. They didn't make many of them, they may be getting hard to find. I listened to it at least 4-5 times and it is a warm but very detailed player, I loved it. It has digital inputs so you ... 
CD Advice
If you can, I suggest you listen to the Denon 100th anniversary SACD player. This player is warm, detailed, also plays high resolution. There weren't many made, I've been waiting for feedback from others before I commit (just to make sure that it'... 
SACD Player
I have listened to the Denon 100th Anniversary SACD player approx. 3-4 times and think it's one of the best players I have listened to. There are only approx. 100 of them out there, but I haven't seen any feedback on it yet. It doesn't have a USB ... 
Dahlquist DQ-20 Fan club Rant
Hi, I have had the 20i's for approx. 10 years and they are still sounding so good. They are very clear, detailed and articulate speakers, I just love them. I have Von Gaylord amps and pre-amp (very rich, full sounding) to completment the speakers.... 
What are some good tube amps that rock? KT88's?
I own Von Gaylord amps and absolutely love them. They used to be Legend Audio. They have a very rich, full, but detailed sound. I pair them with my Dahlquist speakers (20i) and couldn't be happier. I'm searching for a high end dac at this time, an... 
Anyone heard the Simaudio 300D d/a converter
I'm also waiting for the new Wadia 121 dac, it will play 24/192 via USB but probably won't be out until late this year. It's coming down to the Berkeley, Sim Audio or the Denon. Sandra 
Anyone heard the Simaudio 300D d/a converter
Hi, I listened to the 300D dac approx. a year ago and thought it sounded awesome. It was connected to Sim amps, Avalon speakers and the dac was connected to a Wadia dock using an Ipod. I was surprised at how dynamic, detailed and non-fatiguing thi... 
Denon DCD-100 anniversary cd-sacd player
Hi Hack, I would love to hear your opinion of this player. I listened to it again yesterday and really do like it. Denon has never interested me much for high end audio, but I was told that for this anniversary edition they used very good parts an... 
Best analog sounding cd player under 5K
Ckoffend, thanks for your take on the cd players. I went to Seattle last spring and listened to approx. 10 players and the best one of the bunch (in my opinion of course) was the Sim Audio dac300, it was also one of the cheapest. I have my amps in... 
Best analog sounding cd player under 5K
Ckoffend, you seem to know a lot about cd players, have you hear the Electrocompaniet emc up or the Ayon players or the Perfectwave dac? I am looking for a player with a lot of detail but also warm, musical, flowing. That makes a hard decision as ... 
is ayre qb-9 dac better than cx7e mp?
I haven't heard the cx7e, but I listened to the 5XE and the QB-9 with B & W 803D speakers and Ayre K5 amp and preamp. I also heard the qb-9 with Wilson Maxx speakers and Audio Research amps (sorry, don't know which ones), the 5xe with Wilson S... 
Has anyone heard or tried the new Naim Dac?
Hey Jr, thanks for the review link. I just read it and it seems they think a lot of it just like I did. They use a lot better audiophile terms though, I just use my own words :). I'm also going to try out different coax cables. I just bought one f... 
Has anyone heard or tried the new Naim Dac?
Yes, that is what is keeping me from buying the Wadia/Ipod, it's a shame because it's such a great setup with an external dac. I'm searching for a really good digital coax cable, you like the Synergistic D2? I hate to have to start auditioning dig...
