Cary 306 Sacd Pro....a revelation in CD playback for a vinyl guy

Wow! I'll say that again, WOW! Recently a dear friend upgraded and he generously provided me with his castoff as a long loaner. I've had a few nice (so I thought) CD players/transports-Dacs. I think among the Tjoeb, Audio Note 1.0 dac/ Theta transport, and others, the AN/Theta combo was best. But, and this a big but, they were dated even when I used them. I pretty much abandoned digital in favor of LPs and was very content, thank you very much, that is, until today. This is where the Cary comes in. The Pro, I think, came out in 2008 and, as such, it's not exactly hot off the presses. However, when I plugged it in and connected it in my system today. I was astounded at how good CDs and my system sounded. Now I have a modest vinyl setup, Thorens TD 125 w/ a Grado TLZ and a Technics SL 1200 and Zu DL-103 but most of the LPs I have sound pretty good but the Cary, sounds better. As soon as I put the Cary in the system, I heard what the Audio Note E's could do in the bass. The foundation of the music that I didn't know was not there showed up. The highs were extended and smooth and altogether beguiling. I'm amazed at how good the system sounds with Cary in it. Vinyl still has its moments and glories but I now hear what digital devotees love about digital done right. Only one thing to do...upgrade the analog playback system to keep up with Cary!
