| Magnus MA-200 I have the Magnus MA-300, and it is an outstanding amp that replaced a Burmester 911 MK3 and a Hegel H4SE. I am upgrading my cap board to the new MA-500 board. Canary/ Magnus Audio does not advertise, hence very few reviews. However, there will be... | |
| Esoteric K-03 X - mechanical problems w tray I have to laugh at all the naysayers who say the CD is dead. Do they not realize a lot of hi-rez downloads are just marketing hype and are 44.1! | |
| oppo 105d mod or look for a new cd player ? I sold my ModWright Oppo 105 to buy the new ModWright Elyse DAC to use with an Oppo 93. Let's say I am very, very happy with the results. Of course, my new combo is more expensive, but IMHO, well worth it. | |
| Hegel H300 One thing I have noticed, Hegel sure comes out with "new and improved" amps way too soon, IMHO. Buy one, and just around the corner, you have an old model. | |
| oppo 105d mod or look for a new cd player ? I have had a few DCP's in my time from Marantz, McIntosh MCD-500, GNSC Wadia S7i, Burmester 089, and also Oppo 95 and then ModWright Oppo 105. The ModWright 105 sounded the best in my system (Venture speakers, Magnus MA-300, Concert Fidelity pre, ... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Clearly a lot of marketing hype and the American obession with "what is new" sells a lot of gear. I am in the camp that believes in building something right with quality from the beginning. I will take a high quality cdp/dac any day over a new thi... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD ModWright Elyse DAC (with a decent transport like my Esoteric) for sure. It kills my old Burmester 089 and x-Great Northern Sound Company Wadia S7i. First thing I did was tubed rolled in a Philips rectifier and 2 Siemens grey plate'60's CCa's. I e... | |
| Considerations when buying older CD player I have tried the Oppo route from the 95 to 103 to a ModWright Oppo 105. This coming from Marantz, Mnintosh MCD500, GNSC Wadia S7i and Burmester 089. I now own a ModWright Elyse DAC. I tried a EAD CD-1000 as a transport (for a week) and the sound c... | |
| Sony SCD-XA5400ES-Best SACD for under $10,000 I had a ModWright Oppo 105, and the new Elyse DAC blows it away. | |
| Tidal vs. Spotify I tried Tidal for 3 weeks. It is NOT that much better than Spotify on my Venture speakers, MAC Book Pro, ModWright Elyse DAC, Magnus Audio MA-300 amp and WyWires USB cable. | |
| Anyone hear Modwright Elyse DAC? Yes. I have one now for several months, and was modified by it's digital designer, Alex. It is the best digital product I have had my system, including my old GNSC Wadia S7i and Burmester 069.My system is Venture speakers, Concert Fidelity pre, Ma... | |
| Oppo 105 stock vs Oppo 105 Modwright I agree with Charles, and tube upgrading makes a A cdp into a A++ cdp. Trust me. | |
| Oppo 105 stock vs Oppo 105 Modwright Members. Read what Arnie Nudell says about the ModWright Oppo 105. Copied from ModWright website:> In all of my years in audio I have and never written about any of the myriad of products that I have used. As one can imagine, I have used more p... | |
| Oppo 105 stock vs Oppo 105 Modwright I have the ModWright Oppo 105 and can switch between the stock and modified very easily. The ModWright tube mod with the right tubes is on another level. The ModWright capacitors and beefy external power supply brings a fleshiness and wholeness to... | |
| External DAC For Oppo 105 At What Cost? After owning a Burmester 089 and GNSC modded Wadia S7i, I can without reservation, recommend the ModWright Oppo 105 with tube rolling. |
