A little bubble bursting

I'm not trying to be negative and I am happy you found a digital player you can stomach. Lord knows that opens you up to the majority (90%? +) of music made the last 25 years or so.

So I have a MF Trivista and my friend had the Cary you speak of. Although the Cary had more playback mode options w/sample rate options not on the MF we both found the Rebook better on the MF and by a good bit. We even swapped power cords and other things to make sure.

SACD playback was even as we saw it. Both are built like trucks but many know the MF came w/ a Philips transport prone to fail with NO support from Philips. Mine is now a Redbook DAC.

My point in posting is that there are good things out there now and they are more affordable than when these two $6,000 + players came out some ten plus years ago.

Find a dealer that has a loaner program or a full refund period of 30-60 days and try something new. AC delivery is really important for good digital playback so anything from the mains panel to the IEC on the player you can improve is advised.

Good luck!
