Kurt - You mentioned a din to xlr connector for the Opus 21 improved the sound to its max.Can you describe what changes this connector made? I would like to obtain a Cardas din to xlr for my Rowland Synergy 2i.Would this be special order from Cardas??? Thank You.....Mike
Can the RA Opus 21 rock better than a Wadia?
I was almost set on getting a used Wadia unit but recently came across the Resolution Audio Opus 21. Reading the reviews, the Opus seems intriguing and a good puchase. I am thinking of picking up one brand new.
I listen primarily to rock, blues, pop with some occasional jazz. I like music that's pacy, rhythmic - where there's plenty of drive and energy, without the sound becoming too 'digital' and sacrificing air and sounstage. Where I live, I don't have a chance to audition the Opus and hoping that Audiogoners on this site can advise me.
I gather from all the positive reviews that the Opus is a great, vinyl-sounding, detailed, musical machine with good PRAT. Wanted to know if the RA21 can best the Wadia range of CD players from the 301 to 861 as a CD player that plays rock and blues. What advantages does the RA21 have over the Wadia house sound?
Any opinions from users of both machines are much appreciated.
