Agreed...... But.........

SO few DACs and CD players truly bring the medium to its potential.

Prior to the experience I had with the Wadia 7/9 transport and DAC, I once thought CD was hopelessly inadequate for true high-fidelity playback..... Since that experience, my everlasting quest to replicate that Wadia experience.

It wasn't until I attained the Prism DA-2 DAC, and later the Don Allen/Philips CDC-935 CD changer, where I thought I could live with only CDs as my playback source. Yet even there, I still give vinyl a slight edge overall.

In regard to the time response/frequency response compromise with CD playback, I think the key is attaining a happy medium where neither flaw can be readily noticed. I once thought this couldn't be done, but I think I'm close.
