| Cybershaft 10Mhz master clocks, new products at various price points.... Hi @zephyr24069 you are truly a big asset to the Audiogon community. Thanks for all you do, no strings attached.‘Probably overtime, but the Esoteric N-01XD is an exceptional DAC, with an exceptional streamer built in. Truly SOTA | |
| SACD Thank you @tomcy6 | |
| SACD Any specialized SACD online store in US you guys recommend? I am aware of Elusive Disc, but that's about it. Amazon's SACD catalogue is not good at all. And I try to avoid buying from eBay as you never know what you'll get. | |
| What’s the best DAC match for the Cambridge Audio CXC original or V2? Hmmmmmm..... Cambridge? | |
| Esoteric combo doubt You posted this question in another forum, and got some good replies. But I am happy to offer my two cents again.I would try to stay with 01XD series, if you can. It you spend a lot of time spinning discs, then get the K-01XD, and add a streamer. ... | |
| USB vs Coax Is one better than the other? I agree with Dow Jones. Level matching is very important when doing comparisons. Also, from my experience only, take it for what's worth, USB cables tend to differ much more than the coaxial digital cables. In other words, upgrading a USB cable ma... | |
| Advice on CD transport CXC is a few hundred bucks. So unless you live in a pretty beat up country, not exactly “average man’s salary “, unless you were talking about daily salary, which is not a blasphemy when buying audio equipment | |
| Beating a dead horse.... SACD OP: based on what you have laid out so far, the choice of the SACD would not matter. Meaning it won’t impact anything. So pick the cheapest you can find. Good luck | |
| Advice on CD transport I would second what @georgehifi said, Denafrips Avatar, but the price went up and I believe it’s in backorder.By the way George, I apologize for what I have thrown at you on previous threads. It was harsh and unwarranted, and I regret it | |
| Beating a dead horse.... SACD What is your DAC? | |
| Why not combine streamer, roon core,endpoint, server and cd ripper together?? As I predicted, you will complain Innuos is too expensive 😂😂.Fyi, you picked the second most expensive in Innuos line, the Zenith. The least expensive is ZEN Mini. Then the ZEN, then the ZENith.Here are the prices: http://www.innuos.com/en/catalog... | |
| Why not combine streamer, roon core,endpoint, server and cd ripper together?? Yes! All Innuos devices are like that. Server, streamer, storage, CD ripper all in one box. Now... you will still complain they are expensive. That’s OK. | |
| Streamers, servers, players - woefully overpriced?? False. Plenty of extremely cheap streamers available from Chromecast Audio to Pi. Lots of extremely affordable options. | |
| spend on the streamer or on the DAC ? Hey @dannad: you seem knowledgeable dude. Very curious: what is YOUR streamer and DAC? Thanks | |
| spend on the streamer or on the DAC ? Bottom line answer to the OP: both streamer and DAC are important on a digital setup. Real story: I local guy on a local group kept complaining how bad his digital system sounded compared to his Analog setup. I know he spent over $2,000 on a cartr... |
