I've not at all familiar with the the Cary 303 player, so I can't help you there. The EVS DACs are very nice and, like I said, you can always pick a transport and forget about it. It will sound good. As far as that goes, I'm sure the Cary will too. There are so many great sounding components, and odds are in your favor that most will mate well with your other equipment. It only turns ugly when you start comparing components...that's when the real headache begins. Assuming the Cary 303 and EVS DAC are in the same league sound-wise, the DAC is handy if you use a DVD player too. I switch cables and use it for DVD whenever I watch a movie...it's a huge improvement over the stock DACs in my DVD player. I suppose sound is the main issue though. How old is the Cary 303?? The EVS DAC 2 has 24/96 upsampling and the design is only one year old. If the Cary is several years old the EVS may very well sound better, but that's just a guess. I know the Cary's are supposed to be nice players. I wish I could be of more help. Too bad the EVS DACs aren't more popular. I doubt there are many people that have compared the Cary directly to the EVS.

I Would be interrested in hearing what some of you are using as a transport with this DAC, the MK II version, and what you have compared your current setup to. Would you go this route again or would you go for a single box player? Interest being in Redbook CD quality. Thanks for your time.
