Ray Garrison Posted February 13, 2002 Share Posted February 13, 2002 This won't be much help, but every little bit... I have an Adcom GDA600. I have never heard the MSB link III. I have compared the Adcom to a variety of other D/A processors. Only one I heard that made me waiver between the Adcom and something else was the original CAL Sigma D/A, which had a tube based output section and sounded VERY different from the Adcom. I ultimately decided the Adcom's bass was more accurate and it sounded more dynamic. I have heard other D/A's in the many years since I bought the Adcom, and I've never heard one so much better that I wanted to sell the adcom and buy something different. ------------------ Music is art Audio is engineering Ray's Music System Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnysal Posted February 14, 2002 Share Posted February 14, 2002 I am sure ray is right about few DACs bettering the adcom...so think carefully before upgrading. I did buy a link III (with the upsampling upgrade) and love what it did to my system...I admit that I was mmoving up from base ground, the built in DACs on my Sony CD changers...but there is no doubt that the MSB DAC is a great sounding unit AND that the DAC has the greatest affect on the CDs sound (more than the transport)...can you get a loaner to try? if you live in el salvador I would be glad to loan it to you for an afternoon listening session!...warm regards and good luck, tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
