Home Digital Drive

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

Old items or wise thinking?

There are new or recent CD players which adhere to the wisdom and implementation of older digital technologies. I'm using one of them and its better than the CD players I've previously had (Sony SCD-1, Marantz CD7, Cambridge Audio CD3, Arcam Alpha 5, NVA CD50, Twindac DAC among others). With I2S, it sounds sublime. It has more in keeping with the sonic glory of legends like the Marantz players of old (CD94, et al), or Mark Levinson and so on, in my experience.

If you want a new DAC which might compete with some of the masters of previous decades, wait for the Schiit Yggdrasil (designed by the same chap who made the Theta DS Pro Gen V). It may be what you are looking for and is due early next year (if we're lucky :^).
