As luck, or the lack there of, happens I was preparing for an evening of listening as I was preparing to insert a new Sain pc into my system. I was going to start with a few favorite tracks and then make the switch to identify any immediate changes, Unfortunately, my DAC elected to crap out for one reason or another and I was left with my Nal CR7a as a source as I did not want to stream through my Dynalab 809.
I spent the night listening to tapes that were made some 20 years ago and from memory of the original CD's no discernable difference in SQ.
Cassettes dead...I think not, they saved the day...
