| Are the Denons the Best Universals to Mod? I have had to really stop and ask myself some basic questions. Now that I have spent some significant time with an Exemplar 2900, I ask myself, is SACD really necessary? This player forced me to stop and think. Prior to owning the Exemplar 2900 I ... | |
| compare new McIntosh universal player with DV-50 I am really sorry to hear about your expereince Dokter Doug, but am glad to hear that the sound was good when it did work. I have the 205 changer (which I bought new) and have had no problems with it. My dealer who sells MAC said they have gotten ... | |
| compare new McIntosh universal player with DV-50 Does the lack of responses to this thread mean that this player is too new for 'goners' to own one, or, are 'goners' staying away from it? | |

| Looking to compare SACD sound with redbook What initially attracted me to SACD was the remastering of my favorite artists (mentioned in my last post). What has kept me interested is the Jazz and Clasical stuff that has come out. Most of my SACD's are Jazz and Classical. I too think SACD wi... | |
| Looking to compare SACD sound with redbook I have a question that is directly related to this topic. I got into SACD because some of my favorite artists were being remastered (Police, Peter Gabriel, Dylan, Miles Davis, etc.) into the format. To my ears, the SACD of Ghost in the Machine is ... | |
| Sony XA 777 vs modified Denon ? I can give you one such set of comparisons as I used to own a 333, then I owned an XA777, then I owned an Exemplar 2900. In short, the XA777 was far superior to the 333 on SACD and redbook. The Exemplar Denon was far superior to the XA777 on redbo... | |
| compare new McIntosh universal player with DV-50 Irishdog, I thought you were awaiting an 861? My local dealer that carries MAC does not expect to get one in any time soon. DOes anyone own one of these yet? | |

| I'm totally confused about Hi Rez formats I have about 125 SACD's, 4 DVD-A'a and about 400 redbook cd's. I love the Hi-Rez stuff. Only about 10-12 of my SACD's are not hybrids. Even though I am selling my Exemplar Denon 2900, easily the best sounding CD player I have ever owned (and that ... | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? I wondered about this too. The 2900 had very nice build quality and quite good sound (especially when modified). | |
| How are the blue note RVG CD's? I have enjoyed the few I have. I have a Hank Mobley and and Art Blakey. | |
| Coping in an Age of Uncertainty I think modified universal players are a great solution to the current "age of uncertainity". They offer great performance on DVD-A and SACD (if you are into that), and the mods really make the redbook performance outstanding, in my experience. | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? Love my Exemplar modded 2900 but need to sell it (see my ad if you are interested). As soon as I am able I will not hesitate to by a modded CDP. It is definitely the way to go to get the best sound at a fraction of the cost of the big money gear. |
