Audio Research Ref: CD8


I understand from speaking to Audio Research there is a CD8 now. CD8 has an upgraded power supply and DAC from the CD7. I have my CD7 at ARC for the power supply upgrade now.

Does anyone know more about the CD8?

Weiserb,

Does your CD7 have the power supply modification ? ie. we have been talkng about it here for a couple of months.
Now it is a good time to get an used CD-7 IMO. S/H prices have dropped to ~$5k, even for low mileage units - I would argue that it would be difficoult to find a better player for the money.

Sure, CD-8 is even better, but twice as expensive.
Hello forum members , which of you CD 8 owners can tell me what DAC is used in your machine , I like to know what is written on the DAC itself.Eq in my CD7 is written on it : CS 4396 KS . Hope anybody can help me
