Go to Ebay and pick up a refurbished Cambridge CXC for $350. They go quick, so be quick. Some will tell you to buy a $50 DVD player and use it as a transport. That’s your choice. I’ve never compared the 2 in my system, so I couldn’t tell you. Don’t forget you will also need a digital SPDIF cable to connect to your dac. The refurbished Cambridge is sold by Cambridge and comes with a warrantee.
Transport needed !
Hey all ! Im totally stoked, i just aquired a Parasound HINT6 ! I have a 30yr old pair of MartinLogan Sequels. So i start by hooking up my Bluesound Node2, analog out. I use Tidal and the sound is soooooooo good. Since this little digital machine sounded so good i thought what the hell get a transport for CD’s
I know theres budgets for everything lets say 300-350. I would like to tryout the onboard dac,
- ESS Sabre32 Reference DAC (ES9018K2M)
any suggestions ????

“So i start by hooking up my Bluesound Node2, analog out. I use Tidal and the sound is soooooooo good.” OP, first try digital (COAX) out from Node2 into HINT6 instead of its analog out. You may be pleasantly surprised by jump in SQ. If you like what you hear, then go for a CD player. https://silversonic.com/products/digital-cables/d-750/ |
