Please take it up with my wife as I could use a better one of those as well.
I like the DAC in the Marantz as I like the Marantz house sound. I use a DV-9600 as my main silver disk spinner. I liked it better than the OPPO 83 back in the day. IMNSHO 'revealing' and 'digital' are not necessarily two things that go well together.
You can say it's not a 'good' DAC because it is not YOUR DAC, and that's OK. Someday I'll build an Audio Note Kits 4.1. IMNSHO, that is a 'better' DAC. But that's just me.
I also tried the DAC in the OPPO HA-1 which is arguably 'better'.
It is a bit clearer, more 'up front' but is also more 'in your face' and a bit brighter and more 'digital' which is not to my liking. Again, the Remedy Re-clocker smooths things out a bit, again music 'flows' a bit better but I don't like digital anyway and I like 'audiophile' digital even less. Oddly, when the OPPO is used with the built-in headphone output into my HD-600's, it's OK.
But, to be honest, I am not disappointed as there really wasn't any great improvement I was looking for and I am not all unhappy with my system.
And do keep in mind that the Remedy Re-Clocker is designed to make improvements in sources like "Sonos Connect, Apple TV & Airport Express, Squeezebox Duet & Touch, iPod docks and many more". The problem is the sources, not the DAC.
And it arguably does.
Just not 'game changing'. Do keep in mind that we're still just streaming digital over the Internet.
First they came for the dumb-asses
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a dumb-ass
