In Reply to: RE: Cary 306 Sacd Pro....a revelation in CD playback for a vinyl guy posted by BillyBenBilly on March 13, 2015 at 15:55:15
BillyBen-
good to read about another huy enjoying CD / SACD playback.
Tell me, what player did your dear friend update/upgrade in his rig?
Follow Ups:
Aesthetix Romulus. He raves about it and says it crushes the Cary. To me, the Cary sounds very, very good. I think my best Lps may still edge out my best cds in overall musical enjoyment for me but the Cary is really a wonderful sounding cd player. I don't miss my vinyl when I'm listening to it and that says it all.
Having heard both players, Aesthetix & Cary, the Romulus is better on CD playback. The Cary will spin SACD.

I heard a Romulus relatively recently in a demo, smooth, warm and quite musical, yet I came away thinking it a little slow footed with "rounded" instrumental impact. Perhaps it was more the system it was slaved within, but either way, that demo, although still impressive, was not my cup of tea sonically.

what was the other gear in that system during your demo?
Hi maybe we have found another top quality dac chip ?
Thanks for the information
Kind regards,

In the same vein, the Parasound CD1, is no slouch either for CD playback.
Hi and thanks for the reply
So you mean that the reason of good sound is hardly the PCM1792 ?
I have been obsessed by the dac chips discussions
The good old ones are rare as the gold
They should make again chips like the PCM63, even the UltraAnalog ... they would sell it like bread.
This is what i do not understand really. If something is so damned good, why stop producing it ?
Maybe charging more but there will be ALWAYS a big demand.
Maybe diamonds are cheap ? and still they sell them.
Kind regards,

Second note;
I feel many companies, Sony & Pioneer, lose focus over time.
Great points-bg.
Hi and thanks and i assume that i am in the right direction
So the search is on. They are very very rare ... but i have hopes.
Thanks again for the valuable confirmation about the multibit dacs' sonic superiority.
Kind regards,

The newest players from Yamaha is receving really great press on their SACD players as well.
Hi and actually i need a dac. A good player but with digital inputs would work just fine of course, like the Cary Audio for instance.
I still believe that a musical dac at reasonable price should be possible.
If not the design is bad. Thanks again.
Kind regards,
