Ayre D to A

I got really frustrated with computer audio. Bought a mac, got amarra, a good USB cable, bought a bunch of 24/96 or 24/192 files, and felt like I wasn't going forward. Spinning discs just always won out for me...handily.

Your mileage may vary....but you may find stepping up to a better player is the best investment.

I know others will disagree with me...but it's my experience.

Stringreen, you can get better digital...but seems like a few of us are not sure the download path vs spinning disc is worth it (given the comments above).

What about a better Ayre player? Like the DX5? I know it's more money...The thing I keep finding in digital is you have to spend a LOT of money to improve vs our vinyl set ups where a little here and there are pretty big sound improvements usually...The DX 5 allows you to experiment with downloading and maybe better disc spinning to...

You might find better cables or power, better isolation on your current rig is better than swapping players..I am familiar with most of your components..it's a great set up...really nice !!!

Wish their was a easy answer here...
