Looking for recommendations for a 'warm' sounding DAC
Hello , try the Canary Audio Dac Kd2000. I have compared it against my Cary 306/200 dac . Canary was much more sweeter , more depth and wider. Very close both are very good , Cary is more I would say dynamic but I like the Canary better IMHO. Good... 
Cocktail audio x45 , Digital AES our to in no response.
Hello , I finally solved my Issue with the AES not working. Mr. Kim from Cocktail Audio was very helpful and kind enough to send me a new AES outboard , since it’s a very unique problem he wanted to rule this out. It was very easy to replaced it, ...

Hi Djones, yes I did check all that but need to make sure pins of the cocktail audio. Thanks

Hi Uberwaltz, that might be a possibility the pins are not the same . I called Cardas and spoke with Brian (tech) he said it’s standard but I do not have the pins configuration for cocktail audio. I have Cary’s. I should investigate that further. ...

Hi Al, thank you for your advice . I am planning to get another XLR cable just to rule out. What’s puzzling is that it works  if I use my Cary as cd transport connected to the Canary dac using the AES cable . So the cable works , it’s the Cardas C...

Marantz sa113 vs esoteric k-07
Hi Plutos, you know I really like your idea. I do think that way, you spend less you get the best. You know I got my Cary slightly used and did not pay full priced and lasted me 12 years. I hope these new CDP's are as durable as my Old Cary. I kin... 
Marantz sa113 vs esoteric k-07
Thanks for the input Ptss, I honestly not familiar with Lexicon, so I went to check out the reviews and u are right it's got great feedbacks. Is that what you are using now? 
Marantz sa113 vs esoteric k-07
Hi Plutos, thanks for the response. Very interesting to know that, reason for looking a new cd because my Cary 306/200's cd tray does not go in unless u help lift up a bit and push in softly. Cary said I have a worned out gear but parts discontinu... 
Shopping for an integrated amp
You should look at the TEAC A1-3000. Very nice looking integrated and u can also use it as a separate power amp . Go to Katliaudio, I was there yesterday and it look very nice and huge 69lbs! Cheers 
which preamp
I would recommend the Bel canto pre3 and look for a nice powerful tube or SS amp! Find a cable to match. It never ends!
