In Reply to: outboard DAC for CAL DX1 or new one box unit? posted by Thur on March 27, 2000 at 11:02:04:
The dx-1 is still exceptionalas a transport .Add a Cal Alpha tube dac for no more than $400. and you should be quite surprised in the improvement.Inexpensive Yugo tubes sound very nice with the Alpha.The Alpha is still being made and sells new for $1495.Replacing the NAD317 will improve your overall sound as well.If you would want to try another dac you will easily get your money back on a net sale.If you keep it,up the road you could get their 24/96 upgrade for $450.which has gotten rave owner reviews.
