I considered using the Jolida JD-100 with my Audio Mirror D1 DAC ($500 new, but I own two and may have a used one for sale in a couple months depending on some upgrading I'm doing) but decided to go with a straight transport. I use the VH Audio Pulsar IC and the combination should run you no more than $700.
Anyone using their Jolida JD 100 as a transport?
I'm looking to get a more detailed and dynamic sound out of my CDP. I'm thinking of hooking up an inexpensive DAC to my Jolida JD 100 CDP.
I have never used a DAC before, and could use advice on a decent DAC / digital cable combo for approx. $600-$800 (used).
My other option is to sell my JD 100 CDP and get a used Meridian 508.24 or Arcam CD23.
The rest of my system is as follows:
Speakers: Silverline Sonata II (due in two weeks)
AMP: BAT VK 200 (ss)
Pre: BAT VK 30 (tube)
I/C for source: Purist Venustas (in-transit)
Any advice / suggestions would be appreciated.
