I have no doubt that the Cambridge cd player works great. Cambridge audio has their own "S3" servo mechanism to get the most out of the cd. The CXC transport could be great for the price. I haven`t heard it though. Dedicated cd transport with S3 servo + remote under 500 euros.  And i like the...

...It is a digital-to-digital converter. In goes whatever audio algorithm - out comes sausage that is optimized for Mega-Combo-Burrito filter dac ;) Can i get a discount for Yggy because of my correct answer? ;) Br, n-a

Hi Jason. First i have to say i have bought the Schiit Wyrd and Schiit Vali. I like both of them.  I had the Theta Gen V-A also and it was awesome dac, wonderful 3D sound with hint of warmth.   So about the warmth... I believe you have made the Yggdrasil to produce the signal as truthfully...

Ha-ha

Thank you Mike for that post.   I think it explains Schiit:s marketing philosophy very well. One of the best D-S chip with good engineering + upgradeability. What is the problem people? Look at the prices, you can be very sure that this company is not screwing you, when talking about PRICE /...

(to Ableza) That is great. It is possible in many countries in EU area also. Thumbs up, this globe needs more pioneers like you ;)

Hi Ableza, Nice, i am 100% for renewable energy. How is it in your country, can you sell the extra energy into local grid / energy supplier?

Oops, i meant Cambridge-audio CXC.

Check out the Cambridge-audio new CDC transport. Havent heard it, but thinking to buy one myself. Nice to see new and affordable cd-transport these days... I guess the cd format is still breathing...agonals ;)

Hi. I believe the Theta ds Basic II was designed with lower power DSP, and with op-amps in the output stage. Just thinking what could explain the imaging and not achieving the superior 3D effect that i have heard in my previous dac, Theta gen V-a. I have also had the Audio-gd Reference-7 and...

I have also ordered the Douk-audio 4 x TDA1387 usb version, i will compare it to the 4 x TDA1543 Douk-dac.

Yes, indeed. You need PORTABLE. My mistake. Br, n-a

...and it needs the Schiit Wyrd for the pure and stable power also  ;)

No problems, i have allways tried to find the best bang for the buck audio gear. There is just so much of them that it needs a lot of digging and trying. I have had ES9023 based usb dacs and to me they sounded mechanical, flat and cold. I haven't heard the new V.2 Dragonfly. That could be good...

Well... It is the beauty of simplicity of that random dac from eBay. It uses CM108 Usb receiver chip that acts like high and low pass filter allready, and that is needed for the Philips TDA1543 chips. I don't mind if its called "Douk-audio" or "Random-audio" or whatever ;) It is the first...
