Best Transport with Museatex Bitstream DAC

Hi Bigkidz,

Has your Bitstream been upgraded?

I have a Bitstream that John Wright did the complete upgrade along w/ extra power supply mods in July of last year. Obviously, a fantastic dac. JW also highly recommended the Theta ransports from the Pearl up as a great match.

I use a Moray James digital IC to connect it to a Museatex CD-D transport - a perfect match. JW fine tunes his upgrades using the Moray James cables. He considers it to be the best.

I have two bistreams now, one was just modified and I am letting it break in. Will compare them this weekend.

I just purchased a Museatex Bitstream DAC .Seems like you have two and one has been modified by John Wright. I haven't received it yet and it should be here next week....nice Christmas gift must say! It is unmodified and maybe this will be enough for me I am not sure until I play with it a little. I understand John uses Black Gates. Are there any other caps that John uses? As you can tell I am excited. I have over 3000 discs and I want to get the best out of them . I tried on a few other occasions to purchase a Museatex and the units were SOLD before I could buy them . Really I feel like I hit the Lotto jackpot. Thanks!!!!!!!

I have both a Bitstream and a Bidat DAC, both modified my John. I strongly suggest that you send it off to John and have him work his magic on it. His modifications and improvements get better every year. You will be very happy!

The Wright mods are a must. I've owned both the bitstream and the bidat and the mods put both units in world-class territory. I also second the Moray James digital interconnect recommendation. I think the cable is equal to the mods because moray's design is part of the mod process.

I have used a CEC belt transport with the bitstream to very good effect.
