If I get, I will probably pay $99 for the custom paint
If that's your setup congrats, if you haven't tried the balanced outs, I highly encourage you to try because it's like an entirely different amp much much better sounding from balanced.
Is the burson conductor a amp or amp DAC combo ?
I would like an all in one Amp/DAC unit. I know some people have issues with the DAC in the HDVD800. I figure if I don't like it, I can use the Burr Brown out in my Denon and probably get what I like. I also have an Oppo 95 with a Sabre chip DAC but it is a bit bass shy, although very detailed. The Sabre DAC in the Burson was very detailed and the experience was not bass shy. I am thinking some other component in the Oppo output stage is to blame. I haven't heard about Hugo, or DC.
Will have to research them. Thanks for your input.
Plus, if I don't like the DAC in the HDVD800 I can always get another DAC later and plug it into the line. I am mainly looking for someone who has used both units with HD800s and can give me feedback based on real experience with both. While cost in a consideration it is not going to be a deal breaker if I have to spend a bit more than $2000 to get what I consider acceptable ROI. If it cost me another 500+ or so, well, that is what it will take. I just don't want to spend a bunch of bucks to buy something I won't be happy with.
Thanks and bye.................
