| Tried CD player Cary 300/300 and LOVED it, now what? Buy CD transport without inner DAC one of CEC or Simaudio models and connect it to a DAC ,The improvement will be much much better ,Don’t use the stock cables good coax and power cords are a must . | |
| Surprised Many years ago had 7.1 system with a sub the sound was rubbish, Moved to 2 floorstanders with a sub to found out it’s extremely difficult to get the sub tuned correctly now my Proac floorstanders go down to 25 Hz and driven with the McIntosh reall... | |
| DEDICATED CD PLAYER $1K AND UNDER, THOUGHTS? tweak1Blu-Ray and DVD aren't great as transport it's better to use dedicated CD transport without build in DAC to an extrnal dedicated DAC,moreover coax digital cables are better than Toslink ones. | |
| DEDICATED CD PLAYER $1K AND UNDER, THOUGHTS? In my humble opinion gone the days that hi-res were suppirier over CDs just hook up reasonable CD transport ,quality digital cable to a good DAC and you’ll hear any difference compare to hi-res files.The current DACs sold today are so good that yo... | |
| Proac Response D30 DS I had the chance listening to the B&W 804D and Proac DT8 side by side it was a big surprise that the modest 2.5 way DT8 didn’t embarrass the bigger 3 way B&W double bass drivers at all they were very close in any aspect with minor advantag... | |
| Proac Response D30 DS Listened to the D18,D20,DT8,Studio 148 and from my experience:Mine 140MKII are punchy,detailed with excellent bass but lacks the musicality,sweetness and effortless of the D18 and D20.The D18 is laid back and lacks the wonderful Ribbon tweeters of... | |
| Proac Response D30 DS I decided to be open minded , still considering to buy the new Proac D30 RS once the funds allow to .The D48R is not suitable to my limited space the D30 will be probably fine .Last week I heard the D20 at my dealer show room and completely loved ... | |
| Anyone heard/own Xindak SCD-2 Tube SACD/CD player? Maybe some of your CDs are scratched,Some CDPs' lasre tend to be fussy . | |
| Proac Response D30 DS Just now noticed the drivers of the new D30 RS made of pulp which I heard before in the Studio 148 (Proac stop to sell this model last year) and didn’t like at all it lacks the delicacy,clarity and transparency of the carbon fiber drivers which I ... | |
| Proac Response D30 DS @carmenc Yes my room is definitely too small for the D48 it’s not an option for me at all the bass will be too excessive and the soundstage will be probably out of control.@milpai How do you find the bottom end of the D30 ? Is there a big differen... | |
| Proac Response D30 DS My room is 13 X 10.My amplification is McIntosh MC152 and D100.I think in terms of power and room size the D30 is the right choice but I am afraid although in terms of transparency and details it’s much better than mine 140 MKII the D30 won’t have... | |
| Simaudio 260D - As transport The CXC might be consider as very good value for money transport but raises questions why Cambridge doesn’t publish critical information such as THD, signal to noise ratio,Intrinsic Jitter and so on as Simaudio and other brands do. | |
| Great Customer Service From Simaudio Yes they do I just buught their 260DT transport (due to arrive in July) the dealer gave 10 years (!) warranty . | |
| Need recommendation for CD transport (not Cambridge) Yes same as mine the CXC tends to click on scratched CDs.I bought the Simaudio 260DT (due to arrive on July) hope it will handle better lousy CDs. | |
| Simaudio 260D - As transport Hi aniwolfThe Simaudio has very low jitter almost zero , why did you add the Empirical Audio Reclocker ? |
