| Review: Resolution Audio Cantata Music Center CD Player i just upgraded to the 3.0 as well. the improvement is not subtle. i can honestly say that playing 16/44.1 through the cantata 3.0 sounds better to me than any hi-rez, DSD or MQA i have ever heard on any dac. i think the secret sauce is jeff's app... | |
| News: Qobuz Hi-Res platform's debut is scheduled for this October. See Qobuz Links below 16/44.1, 24/96, and 24/192 all sound great. as I mentioned the selection of rock/pop content is terrible. For most of the artist I like, if they had 10 albums Spotify usually has 9 -10 of them, TIDAL might have 6-8 of them, Qobuz seems to have 2-4... | |

| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Guido,Thanks for sharing your insights/experience with the volume control. My amp might be what sounds better at higher levels, as opposed to the Aeris. Whichever it is, the Aeris sounds great and has been a pleasure to listen to. Have you listene... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Guido,Both inputs sound good to my ear, plus it would kind of apple and oranges to point out differences since one is being fed by a computer and the other by a cd transport.The volume problem is that the Aeris sounds best on the upper end of its ... | |
