After over seven years gone by, same dealer suggests I try Marantz SA-10. Borrow it. Hey it actually is better. So I buy the $7000 device.I suggest magazines have a vested interest in over-hyping new stuff.And particularly DACs can be tough to find one that REALLY is a lot better. most are similar sounding.. Unless you have a way high end system... Cables, power cords, tubes, phono cartridges all have far more differences than the DACs out there.
Am I deaf?
Hello all,
Just got a Chord Qutest to use as an outboard dac with my Oppo BD 105. Connected the Chord to the Oppo coax out with an Audioquest Carbon coax cable. $2100 for the Qutest including the cable! I'm not hearing it. I think the Oppo dac may sound a bit better than the Chord. Tried all the filters. Am I nuts?
