A.A. Capitole..unfortunately not yet..$$$$$$


A very generous friend allowed me to audition his AA Capitole in my system.What I heard ,at that moment,was just jaw-dropping wonderful.Never had music sounded that good coming from my system.Well all good things have to come to an end.When he left ,that night,so did his Capitole.
After that night my goal was to own one of those units however my financial situation will not allow that to happen for a couple more years.
Now I have a Sonic Frontier SFT-1 transport going to a Musical Fidelity A3 24 DAC.
Because of my location auditioning other transports,DAC or even all-in one units ,is out of the question.
Any suggestions on how to improve the digital side of my system,getting as close to the Capitole without breaking the bank, would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Breaking the bank? That's, certainly, a relative term, but I think selling your MF DAC and using those $$ to put towards the Audio Aero Prima DAC is the way to go. A LOT less pricey than the Capitole and you've got the sound you heard when you borrowed your friend's Cap. peace, warren
Well, that's a good point Ejlif. I'd say the Prima is 90% of the Cap? I own one,(Prima) as well. Since you own both your impressions are gold. I love the Prima. Sounded better than players costing twice the price and equal to others, even pricier. One hellava player for a little over $2k. peace, warren
