Hi all. What dac or cd players do you use if you still use one.
I'm looking to buy a dac but don't no where to start really there's so many out there it's hard to pick?

I also on TV no2 record to the NAS 3D movies, and managed to put 3D movie on CD.
Has anybody had any experience with this ?
I have a couple of cd players. But was looking for a dac.
Trouble is, you've only tried MP3s
How have you modded the Arcam, Paul?
Therefore, my Teac CD300 in filling in. Big difference!
The DAC is far from the last word in bit rates and file compatibility but the sound it makes is the best I've heard via coaxial.
It's basically the same as the mods Les Wolstenholme of Avondale Audio used to do for £375 iirc.
NOS, clock mod, op amps and some cap changes

Sorry Justin, no DAC's here.
Or are you planning on robbing a bank over the weekend ☺️👍
Because Your version of that statement can vary between different people.
On second thoughts, don't. Neither you nor I are looking to spend just below the threshold of said 'silly money'.
Need to know your budget to give you a realistic idea of what's possible within the scope of your disposable pot of cash.
In my experience, there is much hype out there with companies dressing up their products.
So-called advancements in technology and design, where most are just following the suggested standard support circuitry around a mananufacturers chip.
The real secret sauce comes about when the supporting output components are looked into & understood.
Most manufacturers don't want to spend £'s on components - they want to spend pennies !
You can make your money go further by doing D.I.Y but again, you must invest in time to discover/implement what you want.
Off the top of my head, I would recommend looking(waiting) for a 'Doge' cd player - they are great value for money 👌
Great minds...
Am happy with it for streaming seems detailed and lively. Definitely depends how good the recording is.
So I plugged a cd player in to see how it compares to my old Kenwood 1100sg which was there top model back in the day. And the Kenwood is alot better. There's alot more depth to the music. I haven't tried it against my other cd player Sony x77es but I will do soon. Have just got my claymore back from Colin and having first listen.
I think a better dac may improve it and probably a better streaming service. What do you stream from and do you use a computer to stream from.
I don't no any other way of doing it.
But yes I think I need to stream a better way.
Maybe it's not the DAC for you. Can you return it for a refund?
The laptop is so so slow as it's old.
Is streamer not a better way to go?
Sorry, but I'm currently listening to some files from YTube via optical out from the LG TV here - Plus, I watched that 'Lucy' film today (the soundtrack was pretty amazing with so much layering of the bass spectrum... this only through 27watts of Seca amplifikay-shun).
You will seriously be pushed to hear a better depth of imaging from two channel source !
