I can't answer your question but I am surprised to see you're using the Alpha in place of the DAC in the CD2. I would presume you prefer it to the internal DAC (or is there a technical problem with the internal DAC?). Is there a signficant improvement using the Alpha? I have considered "upgrading" my Tercet to the CD2 but this could change my mind!
From CAL Alpha to ARC DAC3:an upgrade?
Hi
I currently use CAL Alpha with Audio Research CD2 (as a transport only).Recently i noticed a number of used Audio Research DAC 3 on the market for a very decent price (from $1200 to $1500).Should i take an upgrade plunge or it is not worth the money?Do they have similar sound?How big is the improvement in sound?I appreciate all your responses.thanx.
