What are you looking for that your Arcam is lacking?I have the ARCAM ALPHA 9.Does the CD62 have a detatchable power cord.If so have you replaced it. The ALPHA 9 cord was junk! I replaced it with an Audioquest power cord, with an AQ RF filter. I found it made a big difference. It made it sound smoother more analog.Sound stage greatly improved.Bass was more exstended and tighter.Highs became more natural. Also your interconnects can make a big difference.I guess what Im trying to say If your loking to spend only $400 to 500 for a DAC + $ for A good Digital cable you may want to tweek first.
dac or upgrade player
i'm currently using an arcam cd62t. not bad. im more of a vinyl guy myself, but with the table in for repair i've been listening to a lot of cd's. if i were to upgrade for say $400-500, would i be better off getting a dac(and are there any that would particulary well with the cd62, or for that matter, not) or say, an arcam cd72 or something similiar. would appreciate any thoughts. i see ther
thanks.
thanks.
