Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

RE: New to DACs here...for better sound, get better CD player, AC for current player?

Unfortunately, I won't be going to RMAF this year. I've been to six or seven major audio shows in the past and my interest in attending audio shows has diminished.

My system is strictly stereo with subwoofers. However, it sounds awesome to me with DVD movies and I don't seem to need surround. I have a pretty good idea how my system stacks up against other more expensive systems because I have some audio buddies with systems twice as expensive as mine. I've also heard some very expensive DACs and I like my TASCAM DA-3000 as well or better than anything Ive heard. Therefore, I was just pointing out what might be a much less expensive DAC option if you don't want to spend the big bucks.

The major disadvantage of the TASCAM DA-3000 being used as a DAC is that it doesn't have a USB input, only coax and AES/EBU except for its professional SDIF-3 input for DSD. However, I use it as a digital player by putting my music on USB flash drives and plugging them into its front USB port. Another disadvantage is that it accepts up to 64-GB flash drives only, but it sounds so good to me that I put up with its limitations.

Best regards,
John Elison
