How weak is my Digital link?


I have a Sony CX90ES 200 CD changer with a CAL Sigma II Tube DAC with Mullard CV4004.

Rest of my equipment is:

Merlin VSM-M Speakers
Rogue M120 Tube Mono's
Rogue 99 Magnum Pre-Amp

I also have a Sony SCD775, It was for sale for $125, so I just grabbed it.

How much more would I have to spend to hear a significant difference?

Try to find a Cal Delta transport to go with your Sigma
and bag the Toslink for a digital coax or balanced cable.

Once you get a digital inferface you like, bypass the input selector switch on the Sigma.

The Sigma circuit board is very easy to work on, better coupling caps, power supply caps, diodes and resistors will also give you a lot bang for the buck.
Blueshirt- Bypassing the input selector switch eliminates
a set of contacts in the signal path....ie. the best switch
is no switch.
