CD Changer?
I would definitely get a DAC for the changer. You will be startled by the improvement. I run a Sony 400 CD changer into a Birdland Odeon-Ag and it's fantastic. 
Which has most software DVD-A or SA-CD?
www.sa-cd.net shows 2088 titles on SACD as of today. Take a look at that website for titles and latest industry news. DVD-A has fallen far behind, and I hope the trend continues. I personally don't like any format that makes a TELEVISION a necessa... 
Musical Fidelity A220 can drive Magnepan MG20?
Isn't an A220 a 50 wpc amp? I thought it was. (Maybe you meant 100 TOTAL watts?) 
Odeon-Ag or Music Fidelity Trivista DAC is better
I should also add that the MF will give you that lush TUBE sound. If that's your bag, then the MF is the one for you. The Odeon will excel in tight definition and spatial dimensions. 
Odeon-Ag or Music Fidelity Trivista DAC is better
I have an Odeon Ag with the reclocker, and I love it. With the reclocker the two DACs are pretty similar in price (1800 Birdland vs. 2000 MF w/dealer trade-in offer). I've heard the MF Trivista and was impressed, but I didn't hear it on my system ... 
Birdland DAC
Fyi, my Odeon-Ag has the re-clocker. Tom 
Birdland DAC
Hello. I listen to a lot of different music, but mostly I would say I listen to Rock and Classical. In Rock, well, I guess you could say I listen to the big ones (Dylan, Who, Elvis Costello, Clash, Bowie, Beatles, Doors, etc.). In classical, I fav... 
Birdland DAC
I've had my Odeon-Ag for about 2 months now. I think it's the finest audio purchase I've ever made. I'm not exaggerating. If you have a substantial investment in CD's, this is investment protection at the highest level. I've not had a chance to au... 
CD Sound??
Your theory has some support, for sure. Check out:http://www.tweakaudio.com/Cd%20tweaks.htmlTom 
Classical fans, I need advice
Hi Vedric, When I was in the same spot as you back in the mid-1990's, I came upon a book called "Classical Music" by Phil Goulding which proved to be an invaluable tool for building a collection. It's written for the beginner, and it ranks the to... 
Sony jukebox CDP-CX400: Can it sound good?
Don't kill my buzz, Socrates! Now I'm gonna find myself trolling for transports....... 
Why some CDs sound bad with a DAC?
Doctor, heal thyself...I did some experimentation today and isolated the problem to a long run (40 ft.) of 16G speaker wire. The DAC simply brought the inadequate cable to my attention (loud and unclear). I guess it's time to upgrade cables. 
Sony jukebox CDP-CX400: Can it sound good?
Follow-up. I just hooked up my Birdland Odeon Ag upsampling DAC (with re-clocker) to my Sony jukebox(es) and WOW! The improvement is dramatic. I feel like I'm hearing my CDs for the first time. 
Hi rez: Led Zep and the Beatles
Add 1 more hoping for these bands to go SACD. I think the Beatles will be perhaps the band that contributes mightily to end the format war between DVDA and SACD, because about 10 million players will be sold when their catalog is released in a new... 
is it me or sacd.
I have "Nashville Skyline" by Bob on SACD and I'm blown away by it. (But, hey, I thought "Bringing It" sounded great, too.) I really like the sound of "Planet Waves", too.Happy Listening.TFKaudio
