Any feedback on the Levinson no.390s upgrade ??

Craig

I have 36 DAC and am wondering if it is worth an upgrade to the 360 and hpw much it costs.

My alternative would be to try and trade it and the transport Micromega Solo to a 390.

Any thoughts appreciated.

Mick...This comes from a very reliable source ...

"While the No390S uses a newer DAC and one that is very good, remember that implementation is still just about everything and the No360S still outperforms the No390S by a significant margin."

I am also in the same position, I think I will get a 36/360 and upgrade it to a 360S.

A clarification, I was told by Madrigal the cost to upgrade the 39 to the 390s was $1,800 from the factory with full check out of the player. If you want your local dealer to do the upgrade it is $1,500.

I a/b the 39 and 390 at a local store. the 390 is more liquid and more 3d sounding it has more space and air the soundstage just seemed to be wider and deeper. I was considering buying the demo and upgrading it. If I already owned a 39 I would be standing in line to get it upgraded. The difference was similar to what happens when you couple it to a dcs upsampler.
