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...
