In Reply to: REVIEW: Auralic Vega DAC Processors posted by bullethead on May 30, 2016 at 09:37:37:
Though I've never thought the reproduction of Red Book CDs was lacking in any way from my Oppo 105d or Sony SCD-XA5400ES players, I decided to create a dedicated playback system for the CDs. I have seven shelves of Red Book CDs and two of SACDs.
After doing my research, I settled on the AURALiC Vega Processor. Among other things, it has very low levels of jitter. I fed the Vega with my trusty PS Audio Lambda CD transport which has the lowest level of jitter ever measured by Stereophile. Well, to cut to the chase, I'm enjoying the best Red Book reproduction ever, improvement on virtually all sonic dimensions. Most notable in an expanded dynamic range. Sudden passages of loud music burst out and pop with greater impact. Instruments in the rear of the soundstage are reproduced with greater detail and clarity. Virtually all my CDs sound better but the best of them, XRCDs for example, really sound good. The sonic excellence of my record collection is not predicable by SACD verses CD.
