Strabo Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 I'm about ready for another upgrade. Currently using a Denon-3910 for CD and SACD and willing to drop hi-rez playback for better redbook performance. Budget is under $1k, new or used. It must sound warmer, as or more resovling, and musical. Looking for a sound closer to the Shure V15VxMR type playback. My initial thoughts are either a used Benchmark or Bel Canto DAC with a cheaper transport, a Rega Apollo, or an Ah or similar tubed player. What are the pros / cons of a DAC vs a similarly priced player? If you are familiar with any of these players, would they work for me (ie warmer, musical, and resolving)? I might be able to audition a Rega or Bel in home but probably not the rest. Your thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallflower Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Definitely try the Rega. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
