The search for new SACD sound started with the dissatisfication with the sound of my blu-ray player. Starting a couple of years ago, I started collecting opera in blu-ray format. No doubt, BR gives stunning graphics, but sound from SONY player sounds really harsh to me. I am more of two-way stereo person, and I noticed pretty much all opera blu-ray have 2.0 PCM sound track. I was wondering if if a DAC will help improve the sound quality. So I set $400 budget to get a DAC. A few month ago, I went to a local audio store and got miniWyre4sound. I liked miniDAC over PeachTree's DACit for mini'DAC's very dark color compared to DACit, even though both use the same chipset. MiniDAC greatly improve the sound from blu-ray, and all my CD collection, to a point, that SACD from Marantz 6xxx sounds pale and thin.
